Anon, please keep digging on the Detroit / China investment, former governors involvement with China, under ground tunnels between US and Canada near Detroit / Windsor, drug and human trafficking connections!
Re: Whitmer, Michigan (and the human farming project related digs) I searched for 'Detroit / Michigan / China' and found a bunch of links. VERY interesting and fuel for further digging.
Former Governor Rick Synder was all up in China to 'save the state'. Pretty sick, really:
Gov. Rick Snyder is leading an economic development contingent in China for the next nine days, hoping to expand that investment.

Despite Chinese investment in U.S. real estate declining 55% after the advent of strict government regulations on outbound investment, Chinese capital markets remain keen on five core markets. New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Chicago will continue to benefit from Chinese investment even though the overall amount in each city will be much less, according to a report from Cushman & Wakefield.

Why China is stepping up its presence in Detroit auto industry
Detroit auto know-how, as well as the city's cheap real estate, is a draw to Chinese investment. The amount is relatively modest, and Chinese companies aren't talking yet about making cars here. But that could change.

Stevanovich adds a sharper focus on international business will improve both competition and collaboration between Chinese and American companies..
Featured delegations will come from two critical development areas of the Zhejiang, China province: Shanghai International Auto City (SIAC), located in the Jiading district of Shanghai, and Tongxiang in China.
