Gotion Partners With University Tied To China’s Defense Machine – Daily Caller/MSN

Gotion High-Tech, which owns the U.S.-based battery company Gotion, entered into a research and development memorandum of understanding with Tsinghua University, a Beijing university with a “documented history” of advancing China’s military and security state with defense research and alleged involvement in cyberattacks. Gotion, which is tied to the Chinese state through its parent company, is seeking to build major taxpayer-subsidized facilities in Michigan and Illinois, but its China connections have complicated its plans to do so by inviting scrutiny from China hawks and elected Republicans.
