The Chinese parent company of Gotion Inc., which intends to build two electric battery plants in Michigan, established a joint venture company with a “Communist Chinese Military Company (CCMC) Subsidiary” in 2016, according to the framework agreement. More recently, Gotion Inc. decided to build a “state-of-the-art $2 billion” EV battery plant in Manteno, Illinois Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”

This is part of Chinese military industrial complex and these large conglomerates answer to the government and it’s leadership. No one is in business without their blessing and watchful eye. All of this across the world serves the strategic interest of China first and foremost. Whether it be energy, semiconductors, technology, it’s all part of a strategy of dominance and influence. There will be a time when they try to collapse the dollar and that will be the first loss of our economic prestige and power. That will be done with coordination from inside the US with conspirators inside US… Read more »
China is practically bankrupt. This plant might never be built. Every other manufacturer turned down the state of Illinois but then suddenly some Chinese company shows up and claims they’re going to build a plant here? LOL We are decoupling from China rather quickly, just read the other day that Mexico just replaced China as our biggest trading partner. Just wait until China invades Taiwan to take control of their semiconductor industry (which they are almost certain to do, very soon) and sanctions on China prevent them from building this plant in the first place. This is very typical JB… Read more »
Of course they do! Another thing nobody is talking about: lithium batteries are extremely flammable. There is no way to put out a lithium fire! Car batteries are exponentially more dangerous than handheld devices and require 10 times the effort of traditional internal combustion engine fires. I can’t imagine how dangerous a battery plant could be and what kind of precautions would be needed to keep it safe. This is probably why China wants to do it here.

Not just autos but lawn equipment also including the commercial zero turns which are expensive have caught fire.
