Gotion, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-affiliated battery manufacturer, is proposing a three million square foot facility across multiple buildings on 500 acres in rural northwest Michigan. Part of the contentious deal, which has largely been crafted in secret, includes the transfer of $175 million in SOAR funding, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars more in various incentives. All told, the project would receive over $800 million in combined cash and incentives.

Every aspect of the proposed Gotion battery plant is concerning, and Michigan residents and lawmakers should take heed of the many risks this proposal presents.
