Since September 26, 2022, Gotion has secured over $715 million in tax incentives from the state of Michigan, and officials signed non-disclosure agreements to keep details secret from the public. Congressman John Moolenaar, who represents Mecosta County in the U.S. House of Representatives and serves on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, is opposed to the project.\n\n\u201cOver the past year, we have learned about the very concerning ties Gotion has with the Chinese Communist Party, including its parent company making products for the Chinese military, and the son of a CCP official leading Gotion\u2019s American operations. The CCP will use any form of leverage it has to pursue its agenda and further its goals against the United States,\u201d said Moolenaar. \u201cThe Gotion project is still not in the best interest of Michigan and should be stopped.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:37:48Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://moolenaar.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/moolenaar-one-year-later-gotion-still-bad-business-partner-michigan"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6750959437340498, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
