National Security

Michigan residents are not misguided in their concerns about CCP-affiliated companies, and having political leaders bring a spotlight to these issues is not wrong, as Livengood seemed to suggest. In fact, more journalistic skepticism of these companies would help all Michigan residents.

“This case shows once again that CCP espionage can happen anywhere in America and we must be vigilant. The CCP obviously has an interest in Camp Grayling and this is further evidence it would be a mistake for Michigan leaders to allow Gotion to build in our state. State funding for Gotion’s plan to bring Chinese nationals to Mecosta County is an open invitation for further spying on Camp Grayling. For national security reasons, Governor Whitmer and the legislature must revoke state funding for Gotion immediately," said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“President Biden and Vice President Harris unfroze billions of dollars for Iran and Iran has used that money to fund attacks on Israel and Americans in the region. Their weakness has led to the attacks on Israel today. Their failures have completely erased the historic successes of President Trump when Iran was isolated, and Israel and the United States signed the historic Abraham Accords with key countries in the Middle East. We must unequivocally stand with Israel and never allow the terrorist Iranian regime to wipe Israel off the face of the earth,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“This is a David vs. Goliath fight and these new documents show how giant Gotion will stop at nothing to personally attack brave people in the community who raise serious concerns about the company’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its plans for the Big Rapids area. Is this really the kind of company the MEDC wants to give millions of dollars to? When will state leaders cut off funding for this company and its attacks on Michigan residents?” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“Today’s rule from the Biden-Harris team fails to do enough to protect Michigan workers and the American people from CCP threats to our auto industry. While the administration has concluded Chinese auto components and software are a national security threat, Biden and Harris must now stop their giveaway of taxpayer dollars to CCP-affiliated companies. They should support my NO GOTION Act, which will stop Chinese companies from collecting billions of dollars from American taxpayers. Finally, while Biden and Harris talk tough on China, their EV rules play into the hands of the CCP, and make our auto industry dependent on supply chains controlled by China. They must end those rules and let American autoworkers innovate,” said John Moolenaar, the chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.

“Kamala Harris and Joe Biden created a crisis at our southern border, allowing over 10 million illegal immigrants into our country. Tragically, thousands of these illegal aliens have attacked innocent women and girls. This bill is common sense, and it will ensure perpetrators are held responsible for their crimes, deported, and unable to return to America,” said Moolenaar.

"There is no world in which the Chinese Communist Party would allow Americans to buy vast swaths of farmland next to its military bases. We need to protect our farmland and ensure our largest adversary cannot own land near sensitive U.S. military bases," said Moolenaar.
