I live in the area - they haven’t done an environmental impact statement (as far as I know).
This is on the edge of a National Forest with several major rivers in the area.
Who trusts Chinese companies to observe environmental rules?
I suspect it would only be a matter of time before they have a big problem.
Reportedly they are going to house several hundred Chinese workers/managers in one of the dorms at Ferris State University in Big Rapids. Don’t we already have a problem with Chinese companies infiltrating out Universities?
I read that the agreement setting up the company says that they are limited to 300 Chinese workers/managers. Who expects that that is going to be enforced?
While all this is going on Ford has suspended further construction on a battery plant near Jackson MI.
There are several other pull backs on EV’s across the industry.
This plant would be half way around the world from their raw materials to make their product and their customers are hundreds of miles away.
Doesn’t make sense to me.
I sort of agree.
But China does need to be handled differently.
I am 50/50 on this. Michigan does need more development.
So you support Chicoms?
