Congressman Jake LaTurner (R-Kan.) is raising alarms over plans by the U.S. arm of a Chinese materials technology company to build a new facility near key U.S. national security installations.
On Jan. 8, Mr. LaTurner sent a letter calling on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to order the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to review the potential national security risks arising from plans by Cnano Technology USA to build a new facility in Johnson County, near Kansas City. The planned facility would be located approximately 21 miles from the Kansas City National Security Campus, 35 miles from Fort Leavenworth, 70 miles from Whiteman Air Force Base, and 105 miles from Fort Riley.
