Company behind contentious Michigan battery factory quietly registered as Chinese foreign agent, filings show

Hmmm. I don't really like the Idea of this plant, from this company, getting state and federal subsides.

The concern here is that the Chinese will use this plant as a way to spy on Camp Grayling, which is where some Taiwanese soldiers are trained.

I don't trust the Chinese and consider anything they are up to as suspect, but when I mapped it, it was about a two-hour drive from the plant to Camp Grayling, so I really don't think that should be a major concern. Seems like more fear-mongering from FOX News.

I didn’t know that you have to build a battery factory in order to spy on Camp Grayling. I learn something from right wing media everyday. Amazing.

We could always find somewhere else to train the Taiwanese soldiers… imagine that.

The more I look into this, the more it makes sense to put a battery plant there. Big Rapids is home to Ferris State. Ferris State would make a great school to form a partnership with for degree programs and recruiting graduates. Its a smaller school and the opportunity that graduates will have is not the same as those from U of M or MSU, or even Wayne State. Green Twp., which is next to Big Rapids, is out there in a less-populated area where you could buy land cheap and local governments would be open to negotiations. I'd recommend an area like Flint, where they have Mott Comm College, Delta College, U of M - Flint, and Kettering because the comm college and Delta could be useful for training workers, land would likely be even cheaper, but Flint is probably more difficult to do business with.

I don't want any Chinese factories here, period, but I don't think that this is a move that spying easier in a way that other locations wouldn't.

The sheer amount of taxpayer subsidies involved for this plant is a terrible idea, regardless of ownership. If the plant were 100 percent American owned, my opinion would be the same.

Also, why not encourage Gotion to build the plant on an existing brownfield site instead of tearing up rural land?

Oh, as far as squandering of taxpayer dollars goes, the incentives offered for the proposed plant near Marshall are even more troublesome. By my rough math, it would take close to 100 years for the state of MI to recoup that "investment."
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

You dont have worry about CCP spying on Camp Grayling.

They already know everything they need about Grayling dont worry.

To infiltration is near 100% of DC and your institutions.

When a sitting president can arrest his election opponent and nothing is done to stop it by your judicial or justice system....worrying about Camp Grayling is the least of your worries.

For years on this board I have warned that the marxists were in the gates but was laughed at......get ready for much worse as America and the West are becoming colonies of the CCP.

Can you point to any kind of Marxism in my country? By most standards, this country very center-right in most policies. There is no national Healthcare, no national daycare, people are starving and they work full time jobs, a handful of people own most of everything and again, many don't even have a spare $400 for an emergency. Never mind whatever right-wing scare words that have been used since the 1940s while this country degenerates, let's get to the CENTER. Even moderate Republicans arent far enough to the right anymore. This country keeps moving further to the right, yet there's always some imaginary boogeyman or ISM that's gonna destroy us.

Don't even waste your energy. People screaming about Marxism and all that are just parrots who want the dopamine rush of arguing with people, using words they saw people they think of as brilliant use.

An old trick that I used to pull was to copy-paste posts from the PolPot into google. These guys literally would literally grab their arguments from far right blogs.

They're not interested in what policy works best for the country or anything. They just want to feel like a big man like the goofballs that rile them up like Levin, Hannity, and Rush (PBUH).

Well sir if you cant see by now that the US is in a marxist cultural revolution which have revved up their operations with the release of the bio weapon and. the 2020 elections I cant help you.

America is being destroyed from within just as Antonio Gramsci told the world communist conspiracy was the only way to destroy the west.He knew the old class warfare would not work but to use a new strategy of the long march through the institutions and use race and gender in place of the classes.

Educate yourself on marxist/lennonist tactics and then you may open your eyes to the war America and the west is in presently.There are many books that explain it in detail like Mark Levins "American Marxism".

I can't. It was claimed in the 40s. In the 50s. In the 60s. The 70s. The 80s. 90s. 00s. 10s. 20s. We're pushing 80 years of this jargon and all I see is this country going further and further right. Eisenhower and Reagan wouldn't even make the cut anymore. I see people on video, in print, on radio, online, claiming they are being "silenced". Bill Clinton was coming for your guns. Barack Obama was coming for your guns AND sending you to a FEMA camp for death panels and re-education. If you think Joe Biden is this so-called "radical left", I don't think YOU are the one paying attention. Joe Biden is so bland that drying paint complains how boring he is. All I see is capitalism run amok and kid dying in school. Maybe I'm missing something. It's time for some new buzzwords or something. My grandmother has lived and died in the times of the same ol' song and dance.
