“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.

“President Biden and Vice President Harris are attempting to force the production of electric vehicles the American people do not want. This hurts Michigan’s auto companies and everyone who works in our auto industry. It also plays right into the hands of the Chinese Communist Party’s plans to dominate the EV supply chain. Biden and Harris must end this policy because it hurts Michigan jobs and creates an unfair playing field for Michigan workers,” said Moolenaar.

“State officials have reportedly identified an American company to partner with for a project in Michigan. They should have been focused on attracting American companies from the start, instead of giving taxpayer dollars to CCP-affiliated companies including Gotion. Now is the perfect time for them to correct their mistake and end state support for Gotion,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“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.

“I am grateful my legislation in honor of Shandra Eisenga passed the Committee on Energy and Commerce today with strong bipartisan support. This legislation will honor her legacy and help stop preventable TB deaths from happening again. I encourage my colleagues to pass the Shandra Eisenga Human Cell and Tissue Product Safety Act,” said Moolenaar.

"The American people do not want to fund our enemies. The American people do not want to be held hostage to the whims of the Chinese Communist Party for our supply of critical minerals. Under the current regulations brought upon by the Inflation Reduction Act, these nightmares have become our reality. The End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act is an important start toward this objective. It aligns with the goal of my NO GOTION Act, which would end the IRA’s subsidies for CCP-affiliated companies. If we want to encourage American energy innovation, we cannot be subsidizing CCP companies at the same time," said Moolenaar during the debate.

"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.

"Patriot Week honors the founding principles of our nation, our Constitution, and the victims of the horrific 9/11 terrorist attacks," said Moolenaar. "I am proud to introduce legislation establishing Patriot Week, to encourage Americans to learn about our history, celebrate our freedoms, and revere those who were lost to terrorism."

“This Gotion deal has involved secrecy every step of the way – with MEDC using non-disclosure agreements and now Gotion trying to block Green Township from questioning the company's CEO. This CCP-affiliated company continues to force itself onto a community that does not want it. State and local leaders should end this project for good and allow the healing to begin,” said Jacob Huner, press secretary for Congressman John Moolenaar.
