Texas is a ridiculous idea, but how about Connecticut? Near the coast, comfortable 8-24C temperature range, not too far from the US education and business hubs.
The entire premise is ridiculous.

The vast majority of publications from Hong Kong protestors are through Google Docs for example: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZrIiXypVUvPIRs9JG8AsU55F...
Interesting! I checked the comment history, which has a lot of activity. Most of it is spam suggestions, but I also spotted a few that were accepted. I guess they're also using Google Docs for its collaborative features.
Edit: If you don't know how, here's a handy tip. Just add "/preview" to the end of any doc to link directly to it's view only mode. So for the document I linked above, it would be: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZrIiXypVUvPIRs9JG8AsU55F...

Buddy, if you watch American news media with any level of knowledge about material reality you will be blown away by the level of deception, sensationalism, and servility to power. We all need to chill out when talking about foreign countries.
I hear people saying these kinds of things all the time, but I've never gotten any concrete evidence except "they choose what things to report and leave out things we think are relevant". Ok, that's everyone, you only have so much time/space. I might agree with you for Fox TV, and news in general has had an element of sensationalism from the beginning (who wants to read/watch boring stuff?), but aside from that, what…
Historically: see Vietnam, El Salvador, Iraq, Afghanistan. Today: Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba. There are many many examples. The new bugaboo is China as a part of the "pivot to Asia".

Taiwan population is around 24 million. It might be cheaper for US to offer to relocate whole country to the continental North America. Give everyone citizenship and free land, move TSMC to Texas. Make Taiwan island a huge military base.

Coz Chinese people have been conditioned by a level censorship and media control unseen elsewhere, the resulting susceptibility to yummy and palatble disinformation is quite deep and prevalent, you may have read news about strong reaction about strange things from the west, you guessed it right there's alway legions of "self-media" behind it, it’s unfettered and state sanctioned algorithm-driven circlejerk machine, a…
This is a classic example of the self-imposed limitations. Chinese are viewing Americans as lunatic as the opposite direction, and with the equal amount of sincerity and disdain. The same applies to almost any nations and people's group.

Not all countries behave equally, morally. Western media is, all considered, more open, and China spends much more and enacts stricter laws to achieve the opposite reaction you speak of. Chinese people would not have that reaction without that strict shaping of information by the state.
Equally is meaningless for such a large object, I.e. nations. Of course Western is more open, os they are more radical. Like covid, propaganda results into Asian people get attacked or even close to be killed. The more controlled method in China results into more moderate reaction towards Americans.
