Biden admin green-lights Chinese EV battery factory in Michigan, despite local opposition
Fox Wilmington ^ | 6/13/2023

The Biden administration is allowing Chinese electric vehicle battery company Gotion to move forward with construction of a facility in Michigan after a months-long national security review.

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) — an interagency taskforce overseen by the Department of the Treasury and tasked with reviewing certain foreign investments that may pose a national security threat — determined Tuesday that Gotion’s proposed facility was not a covered real estate transaction or purchase under the Defense Production Act.

“We voluntarily submitted all the needed documents to the U.S. Department of Treasury Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. to be transparent and accountable and received the response that it is not a covered transaction,” Chuck Thelen, Gotion’s vice president of North American operations, said in a statement.

Gotion, whose parent company Gotion High-Tech is based in Hefei City, China, said following the results of the CFIUS review that it would “continue to move forward with due diligence” on its billion-dollar project in Mecosta County, Michigan. Earlier this year, Gotion voluntarily paused its development plans and requested the federal review amid intense scrutiny about its ties to China.

Michigan didn't vote for him; China did.

Yeah, I know he technically won Michigan in 2020, but only after sufficient ballots were trucked into Wayne County.

At the same time Biden just extended sanctions exemptions for chips and chip making tecnology to Samsung and Taiwain based TSMC to continue expanding facilities of theirs in China. American sanctions have applied to them because their chips and chip making plants rely on American technology licensed to them. Trump had made those exemptions temporary as a carrot for them to move facilities out of China. Biden is giving them a green light to stay.

Did the State of Michigan help obtain the land by eminent domain, or did the landowners sell their property to the Chinese?

Mr. 10% Big Guy’s bank account just got bigger. Wonder if this factory is in Paul Ryan’s old district. Probably not, that would be way too obvious.

They trucked in ballots to Wayne, threw away "spoiled" [Trump vote] ballots and also rigged a number of Red counties using the 2016 ballots that they got with FOIAs in summer 2018.

They used those same 2016 ballots to rig 2018, 2020 and 2022 in Michigan.

Unlike the slackers in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, the Michigan riggers are go-getters.

We’re on the verge of all out war with China over Taiwan, and this administration is allowing even more Chinese intelligence Officers to embed into this new Ford battery factory.

Brilliant.

And here I thought the Philly riggers were second to none. Did you see the 2000 Mules documentary with all those trucks which came over from New Jersey to drop off mail in ballots?
