On April 20, 2023, the Michigan Senate's Appropriations Committee approved millions in taxpayer funding for Gotion Inc., a company affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, to build a massive facility in Mecosta County.

Congressman John Moolenaar represents Mecosta County in the U.S. House of Representatives. As a member of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, he has been a critic of the project.

"To take millions of dollars from Michigan taxpayers and give it to a subsidiary of a company that pledges allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party is a historic mistake by the Michigan legislature. This proposed facility will be 100 miles from Camp Grayling where the Michigan National Guard has trained military partners from Taiwan to prepare for possible CCP aggression. Yet, Michigan's state government leaders are siding with CCP-affiliated companies," said Moolenaar.

Recently, Moolenaar and a bipartisan group of members of Congress met with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen. Topics discussed at the meeting included national security, preventing CCP aggression, the economy, and supply chains Americans rely on for many of the products they use every day.
