"Pompeo discusses China at the National Governors Association"
https://youtu.be/SqQ1A7bKLhw
Sec. Pompeo said, "Indeed, last year, a Chinese based government think tank produced a report that assessed all 50 of America's governors and their attitude towards China. … they labeled each of you; friendly, hardline or ambiguous…".
In light of Sec. Pompeo's comments, Anon is concerned about the NGA's May 24, 2019 "Collaboration Summitin Lexington, Kentucky…". It was the fifth Collaboration Summit. Anon doesn't want to present a wall of text, but in this case, I will. The NGA, in a press release, has explained their position so well that Anon will post it the way they did. Wouldn't want to leave anything out. Anon did embolden and red text some things just so you don't miss them.
Not to read anything into the NGA's press release or anything; Anon must consider the possibility that the National Governors Association is a huge part of our national problem. Could it be that the governors (through the association) are more committed to the memoranda of understanding, the international letter of understanding and the agreement of intent than they are to their constituents?
The text of the press release is interesting but the pictures are more interesting. Maybe that's because Anon always wonders, if the Chinese view such pictures as trophies. You can see the pictures in part 3/11 below.

40 percent of the world’s economic product is produced in the United States and China.
