Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order “to protect Texans from the coordinated harassment and coercion” by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), his office said in a Nov. 18 statement.

The order focuses on CCP influence operations such as “Operation Fox Hunt,” which are part of wider efforts by the Chinese communist regime to forcibly repatriate Chinese dissidents living abroad, according to the statement from Abbott’s office.
