CCP Gotion, CATL, four other Chinese battery companies banned from U.S. military bases – The Midwesterner

Gotion plans an E.V battery facility in Manteno, Illinois. “This ban is a step in the right direction, and we applaud it,” according to a statement from former U.S. ambassadors Peter Hoekstra and Joseph Cella. “Given the aggressive adversarial nature of the PRC and the CCP, we urge lawmakers give this procurement ban immediate effect, extend it to the entire federal government, and investigate why CATL and Gotion can receive tax credits through the [Inflation Reduction Act].... Why are Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Governor J.B. Pritzker handing billions of taxpayer dollars and other subsidies to these PRC-based and CCP-tied manufacturers that President Biden, Congress, and the Pentagon have designated as imperiling America’s supply chain and national security?” they asked.
