Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) provided tax relief to a federally investigated subsidiary of a Chinese company, according to Florida state government records, despite claiming in the past his administration had not supported the business.
JinkoSolar, a Chinese Communist Party-connected solar panel manufacturer whose factory in Jacksonville was raided by the Department of Homeland Security last spring after allegations it violated the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act in 2022, received $90,000 from DeSantis in 2020 through his urban job tax credit program, according to Florida's Department of Economic Opportunity. JinkoSolar was eligible because it created 90 jobs in Duval County that year.
