Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says China isn't behind the anti-data-center debate
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said his data center pivot was driven by legitimate concerns from Texans, not by Chinese propaganda.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has dismissed claims that China is behind the anti-data center sentiment in the United States. In an interview with Fox News, the governor stated that his decision to put a pause on data center construction in Texas was driven by legitimate concerns raised by Texans and not by any Chinese propaganda. He emphasized that he had not made this decision due to anything said by China, but rather in response to real problems faced by his constituents in their communities.
Abbott also noted that his data center pivot was not influenced by the Chinese social media campaign, as researchers have questioned the impact of such campaigns on the data center debate.
