A Chinese company, now revealed to employ hundreds of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members, is set to build two electric vehicle battery plants in northern Michigan after scoring approval from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) and President Joe Biden.

Earlier this year, Democrats in the Michigan legislature approved plans by Gotion Inc. to build a $2.3 billion battery plant near Big Rapids with millions in state taxpayer money and potentially billions in federal tax credits as well.

Similarly, Gotion Inc. is looking to build a second battery plant in Michigan.

In June Biden’s Treasury Department approved the Gotion battery plant project outside of Big Rapids. At the beginning of this month, Gotion purchased nearly 300 acres of land in Green Charter Township where the plant will eventually sit — just 100 miles from Camp Grayling, which is the largest United States National Guard training site.

According to an ESG report, published by the Daily Caller, Gotion’s parent company employs hundreds of CCP members and is led by a member of the CCP, despite repeated denials from executives that the company is controlled by the party.

The Daily Caller reports:

“Gotion High-Tech founded a CCP branch in 2010 that was upgraded to a CCP committee in 2014,” reads Gotion High-Tech’s 2022 ESG Report. “The CCP committee’s subunits are two CCP general branches and 11 party branches, currently with 923 CCP members, among which over 50% hold master’s degrees or higher.” [Emphasis added]

Gotion High-Tech’s CEO, Li Zhen, is also identified as the party secretary for the firm’s CCP committee within a section of the 2022 ESG report highlighting the company’s 2022 “party building work situation.” [Emphasis added]

The revelation comes weeks after a Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) filing, reported by Fox News, discovered that Gotion was registered as a Chinese foreign principal.

Meanwhile, residents in northern Michigan are outraged by the prospect of a CCP-linked company buying up hundreds of acres of land and becoming a major employer in their small community.

Gotion’s battery plant is not the only Chinese investment worrying residents. As Breitbart News has reported, Ford Motor Company and China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL) are proposing a $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery plant in Marshall, Michigan.

CATL is China’s premier electric vehicle battery supplier. CATL CEO Zeng Yuqun is a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee — a high-ranking CCP advisory body that serves as a central component of the party’s “United Front” efforts.

China’s “United Front” efforts, as the federal government has detailed, are considered to be a front for CCP intelligence operations overseas.

Like the Gotion project, the Ford-CATL joint venture is getting hundreds of millions from Michigan taxpayers and is likely to win possibly billions in federal tax credits, also funded by taxpayers.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to say on Monday if Hunter Biden is selling access to President Joe Biden.

During Monday’s White House press conference, Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre if the White House is “confident” that Hunter Biden has stopped selling access to Joe Biden.

“We know that from a Hunter Biden associate now that he sold the appearance of access to then-Vice President Biden. Are you confident that he has stopped doing that?” Doocy asked.

“That is a question for Hunter Biden and his representatives,” she replied.

“If somebody is selling the appearance of access to the White House, that is a question for the White House!” Doocy said.

“No, that is, that is your, your — I don’t know — how you’re perceiving that…I’m just not going to get into this. I’m just not,” Jean-Pierre stonewalled.

Hunter Biden’s best friend in business, Devon Archer, told House investigators that Hunter Biden included then-Vice President Joe Biden on speakerphone more than 20 times with business associates to sell “the brand.”

The Biden brand is an “abuse of soft power,” Archer told Tucker Carlson during an interview released on Twitter. “Obviously, the brand of Biden, you know, adds a lot of power when your dad’s vice president.”

“Sometimes it was the call was coming in, and the speaker would go on. So it was [sic] it’s just the president,” Archer said.

“The power to have that access in that conversation — and it’s not in a scheduled conference call — and that’s a part of your family. That’s like the pinnacle of power in D.C.,” Archer added.

Doocy also asked Jean-Pierre to explain what the Biden brand is. “Devon Archer talks about how he and Hunter Biden tried to profit off the Biden brand. What is the Biden brand?” he asked.

“I’m not going to get into it from here. I’m not going to get into it from here. We’re going to move on,” Jean-Pierre replied.

According to a recent Yahoo News/YouGov survey, 73 percent of voters believe Hunter Biden did something illegal, while only ten percent say he did not. Seventeen percent are undecided.

Moreover, 45 percent say Joe Biden received millions from the family business, while just 31 percent of voters do not believe the elaborate payments occurred, a 14-point difference. Twenty-four percent are not sure.

A plurality of voters, 47 percent, also say Joe Biden did something illegal with Hunter Biden. Only 37 percent of voters say he did not. Just 15 percent are unsure.

Peter Schweizer: Biden Criminality a ‘Clear-Cut Case’

The mainstream media reporters are still missing the real story—bribery likely took place during Joe and Hunter Biden’s involvement with Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

Investigative journalist Peter Schweizer is joined by Seamus Bruner on the latest Drill Down podcast, and together they lay out the case, based on their research, that bribery clearly took place: The Biden family was paid in exchange for explicit favors done by then Vice President Joe Biden for a foreign entity.

“This is a clear violation of the law. This is criminal conduct that’s occurring. This is a direct bribe. It’s a quid pro quo,” Schweizer says. “The bottom line is, it doesn’t matter if you ever demonstrate that a single penny went to Joe Biden, because bribery can mean paying off your family. If a politician’s family gets paid and the politician performs a service for that, it’s a bribe in the same way. So, to me, this is now a clear-cut case.”

That assertion comes after Seamus Bruner found yet more evidence on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, has been on the Hunter Biden story since 2017 and “may have spent more time on the Hunter Biden laptop computer than Hunter Biden has,” Schweizer quips.

Bruner just unearthed evidence that further establishes the direct connection between Hunter Biden’s being named to the board of directors of Burisma and his father the Vice President threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid to the Ukrainian government unless it fired the prosecutor who was then investigating Burisma for corruption.

That prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, was indeed fired right before Biden handed over the aid money to Ukraine, as Biden himself bragged about doing at a 2018 foreign policy conference.

This allegation, which amounts to a direct quid pro quo between Joe Biden and the executives of Burisma, has been made before. But the emails found by Bruner establish a direct timeline connection between Burisma pressuring Hunter Biden to earn his $1 million dollar salary to get his father to force the Ukrainian government to call off the investigation of the company’s founder, Mykola Zlochevsky.

In 2014, a revolution in Ukraine deposed its Moscow-serving president Yanukovich. That same year, then President Barack Obama made Joe Biden his “point man” on U.S.-Ukraine policy. At about that time, Biden’s son Hunter gets his deal with Burisma. The company’s founder, Zlochevsky, has been under international investigation and his assets have even been frozen in London.

But an email uncovered by Bruner on Hunter Biden’s laptop now makes it clear that by November 2015, Burisma executives were not happy with Hunter’s work. Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi wrote to Hunter Biden, “…the suggested scope of work is largely lacking concrete tangible results that we set out to achieve in the first place.”

Burisma wanted one key “deliverable,” according to the email. They wanted the pressure to be taken off their company and their founder’s frozen assets released.

Vadim Pozharskyi closed the email by stating in no uncertain terms that the “ultimate purpose” was to “close down any cases pursuits against Zlochevsky in Ukraine.”

The message got through., The next month — December 2015 — Hunter Biden, along with business associate and fellow Burisma board member Devon Archer, met with Burisma in Kyiv. As Archer testified this month, Hunter, Zlochevsky, and Pozharskyi “stepped away for a bit” and “called Washington,” when they made their case to Joe Biden that Shokin needed to be fired.

Three months later, Vice President Joe Biden went to Kyiv and demanded the government agree to fire Shokin as a precondition of receiving $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees. Shokin was fired in April 2016 and the case was closed by the prosecutor who replaced him, Yuriy Lutsenko. In 2018, Joe Biden famously boasted on camera about having done so.

“He did what his son’s benefactors told him to do,” said Schweizer. “We even have independent confirmation of this, from a State Department official named George Kent who dealt with Ukraine. Kent told the Senate Oversight committee that in Dec 2015, he was advised by Biden’s staff to avoid mentioning Zlochevsky, and instead recommended to say, “I’m not going to get into naming names or accusing individuals.”

Revelations over the weekend about the collapse of Hunter Biden’s plea deal, in Politico and the New York Times, are not the main story here. The main story remains that Joe Biden and his staff knew of Hunter’s relationship with Burisma and offered official help to them.
