Communities in rural Michigan are revolting against a decision to allow a Chinese-owned firm to build a battery plant in the area, according to footage of a recent Green Charter Township board meeting obtained by conservative outlet The Midwesterner.
More than 100 residents of Green Charter Township and Big Rapids in rural Mecosta County, Michigan, showed up to the March 14 meeting to voice concerns over the presence of the Chinese-owned company, Gotion Global, amid growing concern over national security issues related to China.
"The thing that drives some the most crazy about this is that this is a Chinese-owned company. A Chinese-owned company is a communist company. Why would you bring a communist company to Big Rapids, Michigan, when we have troops mobilizing right now to fight China?" one resident, who identified himself as an Iraq War veteran, told the town's board members.

Pffft, they elected a communist governor. Get used to it.
I dunno, let them build it and if things ever get bad we get a free battery factory.
“We have troops now mobilizing to fight China” ???
I thought business created jobs?
Me thinks someone needs to step away from FOX News for a couple of weeks.
Be a shame if the plant kept burning down.
Somebody doesn’t understand the Chinese. Everything is about warfare and advantage...especially business. They consider it the soft underbelly of America.
Not to worry, Michigan. The Chinese will probably drop you like a hot potato when they learn of your efforts to kill “right to work” and make union membership compulsory.
Then you can bemoan “Why did the Chinese take their factories to another state?”
Did you read that in a fortune cookie, Son Zooz?
No, they didn’t! Most of outstate, didn’t. It was the urban cesspools that gave us that witch and her flying monkeys.
Why not, the Chincs have access, from Sniffer, to freshly printed Fed dollars.
Except for the batter factory part, Works for me.

No THEY didn’t. The rats know they have lost the rural vote but they no longer care because they don’t them. So they are going punish them at every opportunity.
“I dunno, let them build it and if things ever get bad we get a free battery factory.”
It’s NOT Free. Michigan taxpayers are funding this CCP owned spy crap business. Our Communist loving stretchin Gretchen is using Michigan Tax breaks to fund this P.O.S. industry.
Yes.
Expressing “concern” must have made the Chinese smirk and break into derisive laughter at the naive Americans they are about to conquer totally.
Unless something changes that.
Nope. Paraphrasing what I have been told by several Chinese that I have known for a very long time. Long enough for them to feel comfortable opening up to me. Most Americans will never experience this level of clarity from Chinese that they know.
You make an assumption.
I’ve have Chinese co-workers, and some have not only become friends they have been guests over the years.
We have interesting conversations on all subjects. Some we agree upon. Some we don’t.
You paint with a broad brush. That makes you perfect for this site.

The Chinese I refer to is the CCP, not most Chinese people. But make no mistake about it, the CCP is at war with us. Feel free to disagree, but it doesn’t change the fact that they are. It does illustrate how blind many are to it. BTW, this paraphrase summary was told to me more than 20 years ago and confirmed by others since. As a Chinese non-Yugir Muslim, and other non-Han types, they were all more than just a little clear-eyed about what was happening then and since.
The Chinese say one thing to the white man and say very different things when amongst eachother. They were banned from immigrating to the United States for decades for a very god reason. They are an enemy of western culture and have never belonged here.
A evil capitalist is someone who would whore out his mother to a Chinaman just to make a profit.
