Controversial Chinese-Owned EV Battery Plant Receives $175M Funding Approval in Michigan

Michigan residents expressed their opposition to a proposed Chinese-owned electric vehicle battery plant in Big Rapids, citing concerns over the Communist Party of China's involvement and potential threats to American values and freedoms. Despite Governor Gretchen Whitmer's support for the plant, local officials and citizens urged the Michigan Senate Appropriations Committee to reject the proposal, with one resident warning that the plant was part of China's plan to "overthrow the United States without firing a shot."
