A neighboring county's commissioner attended the US-China Trade Deal signing back in January. Exporting soy beans to China is one of the largest economic forces here.
I understand that voting in local election can be helpful, but the US-China situation bleeds into almost every level of government.
I mean my state rep has full-on Russiagate brain, and posts about how any COVID-19 research/vaccine out of Russia should be ignored; they also tweet out China fearmongering often. I still voted for them the first time around when they primaried out a shitty incumbent, but probably won't vote for them again.

My state house banned companies from borrowing loans from China's state bank to fund solar panel construction.
It's not weird, states are pretty large political entities.
