A couple of commenters on CT have some interesting thoughts.
For example, Trapper:
"I would interpret “hardliner” to mean just difficult to deal with. New York makes sense in that sense. The NY trade negotiators could be in total sympathy with the CCP, but will still send the CCP negotiators home without their shirts and missing a couple of fingers. Just business. Hardliners."
From Covid19Deception:
"Is it possible this list was purposely inaccurate with the goal of deceiving the governors, to make some of these governors think that Pompeo and the State Department have no exact idea as to which governors are in bed with China? But in actuality Pompeo, Trump, etc know full well who is and isn’t a traitor …"

REFERENCE: CHINA NETWORKING IN US——Did Joe and Hunter Biden help China compile “The Friendly Governors’ list”..............
Secy of State Mike Pompeo Says He Has List; American Pols Named as ‘Friendly’ by Communist China pjmedia.com ^ | 2/9/2020 | MEGAN FOX
In a shocking speech to the National Governors Association, Secretary Mike Pompeo revealed that he is in possession of a list of American governors who have been listed as “friendly” by Chinese Communist infiltrators. Pompeo said he had received an earlier invitation from a former governor to attend a networking event that promised great “deal-making” opportunities with the Chinese government.
This networking event was run by “The Chinese People’s Association for Friendship in Foreign Countries,” said Pompeo. But what the US participants might not have known is that “the group is the public face of the Chinese Communist party’s official foreign influence agency, the United Front Work Department.” Pompeo knew of this connection from his former position at the CIA. He questioned the governors on how many of them knew that this group was a Communist-front group. “What if you made a “new friend” at the China networking event?” he asked. “What if your ‘new friend’ offered to invest big money in your state, perhaps in your pension fund, or make a Chinese invest in an industry sensitive to our national security?”
And then Pompeo dropped a huge bomb on the crowd.
“These aren’t hypotheticals. Last year a Chinese government-backed think tank in Beijing produced a report that assessed all fifty of America’s governors on their attitudes toward China. They labeled each pol friendly, hardline, or ambiguous.”
Pompeo continued, “I’ll let you decide where you think you belong, someone in China already has. Many of you, indeed, in that report, are referenced by name.” (Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com …
