Chinese Wind Farm Project in Texas a Threat to National Security: Kyle Bass
The Epoch Times ^ | 06/03/2021 | CATHY HE AND JAN JEKIELEK

A proposed Chinese wind farm in Texas poses national security concerns, warned China-watcher and hedge fund manager Kyle Bass.

The Blue Hills Wind development in southwest Texas’s Val Verde County has attracted heightened scrutiny in recent months, with lawmakers and experts signaling concern that the Chinese project could be used as a cover for espionage and to disrupt the state’s power grid.

The proposed wind farm site is about 30 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border and near the Laughlin Air Force Base, the U.S. Air Force’s largest pilot training facility.

The land for the wind farm is owned by a Chinese company called GH America Investments Group, which has since 2015 bought 130,000 acres of land—an area the size of Tulsa, Oklahoma—in Val Verde County. The man behind the firm is Sun Guangxin, a businessman from the northwestern Xinjiang region in China, who has strong ties to the communist regime.

Sun, a former military officer, is currently the richest person in Xinjiang—where the regime is committing genocide against ethnic Muslim minorities. He has a net worth of $1.9 billion, according to Forbes, and was also the vice chairman of the Xinjiang Provincial Youth Federation.

Most all of industrial wind turbine Monuments to Gaia are built by foreign companies

Germans built one near me but we fought hard and kept another one out

I agree with Kyle Bass, on this!

Get the ChiComs out of TX' power grid, and ANY kind of farming!

The Chinese Communist consulate in Houston was just down the road from the Texas Medical Center and Rice University when they were ousted for espionage in these facilities.

“Capitalists will sell you the rope you’ll hang them from”. Lenin had his points. This country can’t make it unless we are moral and willing to make material sacrifices to get things right.

Nationalize everything the Chinese have bought. And default on all the stocks and bonds they hold. Then wipe out their navy and EMP anything with electrons they have.

While we still can.

Well, wind farms are a farce, but the Chinese don't need to own ANYthing in the great state of TEXAS!

That photo’s name “royal-air-force-menwith-hill.jpg”

That is not in Texas. It is in England.

Why are we letting foreign companies and people own our land? We should not let foreign companies own land, defense contractors, water, electric and gas companies and other companies that Americans need.

The point was not where it was at but rather that I’m very cynical about the Chinese setting up a SIGINT operation under the guise of a “wind farm”!🙂

The turbines, if that’s what they are using, need to be inspected subsurface to the end of each prop with great vigor so as to identify any superfluous hardware that appears unrelated to “making energy”!
