Michigan Invites The CCP To Set Up Shop - Time To Tell The Chinese Communists They Are Not Welcome Here
The U.S. Government is sounding frequent and urgent warnings that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is targeting for recruitment not just federal officials and officeholders but American politicians at every level. The DNI’s office has warned explicitly that the CCP is focused on gaining control over local and state authorities.

Want to know what the impact of that CCP focus on state and local officials is? You may not have to look any further than the state of Michigan and the new battery plant the Chinese will build there.
That plant will be built with $715 million of taxpayers’ money. It will be run by a Chinese company called Gotion. Corporate documents reveal the extent of the CCP involvement in this deal and the hold it will exercise over this industrial enterprise in the heart of the United States.
The Articles of Association for Gotion, available online, state:
“The Company shall set up a Party organization and carry out Party activities in accordance with the Constitution of the Communist Party of China. The Company shall ensure necessary conditions for carrying out Party activities. The secretary of the Party shall be the chairman.”

So, this plant in the state of Michigan will be run in accordance with the principles of the Chinese Communist Party and with the express purpose of carrying out “Party activities in accordance with the Constitution of the Communist Party of China”. Gretchen Whitmer, the Governor of Michigan, is handing over hundreds of millions of dollars to an entity under the control of the CCP and sanctioning the establishment of a CCP apparatus on our soil.
Gotion also apparently expects to bring in Chinese workers to hold some of the jobs at the new plant. Reports are that 200-300 Chinese workers will be housed at a local university. The exact role of these Chinese workers remains unclear.
