The Chinese Communist Party's Secret Projects in the US: What Is Going On?
Gatestone Institute ^ | 27 Apr, 2023 | Pete Hoekstra

Two Chinese companies, Gotion and CATL, are on the verge of building two new battery manufacturing facilities in Michigan. These companies were lured by billions in state and local tax incentives and infrastructure investments, and the environmental requirements buried in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

[T]he state of Michigan is making a big bet on electric vehicle (EV) technology in concert with the Chinese Communist Party. What could go wrong?

The answer to that is simple: Plenty. At a time when bipartisan members of Congress on the Select Committee on the CCP are conducting war games simulating a U.S. response to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, one has to ask is this the right moment to seek more Chinese investment in the state. Especially when one of those projects is just 100 miles from where the U.S. is training Taiwanese troops to defend against a Chinese Communist invasion.

Already, Virginia, home to numerous military and intelligence facilities, has rejected one of the two projects out of national security concerns.

As... outlined in the unprecedented joint news conference by the FBI and MI-5, the threat from the Chinese Communist Party is real, dangerous and pervasive.

Another red flag is the secrecy shrouding the projects. Although the state is in the process of providing substantial sums in taxpayer money to private entities, many of the details have been covered by Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Members of Congress, state legislators, local elected officials, and state and congressional staff have been forced to sign NDAs so they can access information taxpayers and the media have been prevented from seeing. What is so secret that it requires taxpayers to be shielded from information about the projects that their dollars will fund? Local newspapers have requested information through Freedom of Information Act requests, but they have been denied.

What’s so secret? Easy, they get secret tax breaks and incentives not mentioned by the State, plus the batteries will be exported to China. The US will be left with highly polluted grounds and ground water.

Using election fraud, China has covertly taken over Canada and Brazil (Brazil is not too covert).

Why does anyone think they didn’t do the same thing here?

It also should be mentioned that they are not getting Chinese companies in the sense of GM or other large US manufacturing company, but they are getting a Chinese company run by the CCP whose technologies will be shared with the Chinese military (PLA).

Called Civilian-Military Fusion in China: What one has is shared with the other. In other words, there is no difference between a Chinese company and the Chinese military. As such, they will be conducting business by Chinese laws, not by US laws.

“What is going on?”

What a silly statement.

They’re setting up a government on US soil, of course.

You don’t think all those Chinese “immigrants” are going to do what the Round Eyes tell them to, do ya?
