Moolenaar: Gotion ‘wrong for our state’

U.S. Rep. John Moolenaar has weighed in on the controversy over the proposed siting of Gotion’s electric vehicle battery plant in Mecosta County, according to The Center Square.

In an emailed newsletter, the Michigan 2nd District representative calls Gotion “wrong for our state.”

Moolenaar, a Midland native, is a member of the U.S. House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. Moolenaar says the CCP was responsible for the spy balloon shot down by the Biden administration in February, and accused them of stealing American industrial secrets, and covering up the origins of COVID-19.

He also noted the proximity of Mecosta County to the Michigan National Guard facility in nearby Grayling, where training is being conducted for members of the Taiwanese military preparing for a potential CCP attack.

“What sense does it make for Michigan to allow a CCP-affiliated company to build a massive factory in our state, while at the same time the Michigan National Guard is helping Taiwan prepare for a possible attack by the CCP? The proposed facility in Mecosta County would be just 100 miles from the Camp Grayling training site,” Moolenaar said.
