Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
If they don’t have the intelligence to ask for information on a foreign entity that will be coming in and impacting their local economy, they shouldn’t be surprised when they lose total control around this plant, the related energy use and their air quality. It starts with Manteno and spreads like a virus from there. Seems like money gets people to look the other way.
China builds the very best electric vehicles. Electric cars are the future, last thing Illinois cares about is the future (because Illinois has little future).
I wonder if Manteno trustees getting a kickback? From what I’ve read citizens don’t want a CCP company in their community.
When’s the next election? These Manteno trustees NEED TO GO!
