State lawmaker asks Congress to see if China energy firm with US ties does biz with foreign enemies

A Michigan GOP state lawmaker is asking Congress to demand all "federal resources available" to investigate whether Gotion High-tech, a Chinese energy company with U.S. subsidiaries, is doing business or attempting to do business with enemies of the United States.

This comes after Gov. Whitmer's announced plans for a $2.3 billion Gotion battery plant in Big Rapids, Michigan were put on pause over backlash due to the battery giant's ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

"In light of the time sensitivity of this matter, we kindly request that you work to take swift action, said state GOP Sen. Lana Theis. "Your prompt attention to this issue is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to hearing from you soon."
