Texas bans state workers from using Chinese tech like Alibaba and Shein over security concerns.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has banned state employees from using products and services from Chinese companies including Alibaba, Shein, Temu, TP-Link, CATL, Autel, and iFlyTek, citing national security and privacy risks.
The executive order, effective immediately, restricts hardware, software, AI tools, and e-commerce platforms on state devices and networks, aiming to prevent foreign access to sensitive data.
The move, driven by a Texas Cyber Command threat assessment, reflects growing state-level scrutiny of Chinese technology despite recent U.S.-China diplomatic easing.
The ban does not affect personal use by residents.
