Several Michigan residents spoke up Thursday during a state Senate hearing where Democratic lawmakers approved public funding for a Chinese company's electric vehicle battery plant.
"I think that any Chinese communist plant buying up 700 acres of Michigan land is a concern to all citizens throughout the state," she said."This CCP-controlled company represents communism and is a threat to our way of life and our God-given and constitutional freedoms. We don't want the CCP here by way of the Gotion plant as they have no regard for the value and dignity of human life.
"This company pledges allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party and should be determined as a threat to our national security," added resident Shirley Schaefer.announced that Gotion would invest $2.4 billion to construct two 550,000 square-foot production plants along with other supporting facilities spanning 260 acres in northern Michigan. She applauded the proposal, saying it would shore up Michigan's status as the"global hub of mobility and electrification.
However, Republican lawmakers and local leaders have scrutinized Gotion's proposal, pointing to its Chinese ownership and ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The corporate bylaws of Gotion High-Tech, whose California-based subsidiary Gotion proposed the Michigan plant, requires the company to"carry out Party activities in accordance with the Constitution of the Communist Party of China.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Gotion's plant would help make the state the"global hub of mobility and electrification."
