Gotion has well-documented ties to the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP) and JB Pritzker supports their agenda that imposes security risks. Despite red flags and warnings from top officials, the State of Illinois used taxpayer funds to subsidize $536 million to help Gotion acquire land and build a lithium battery factory in Manteno, Illinois. Now, more details have emerged that shed light on how Chinese companies are creating a real threat to our national security. Gotion has no place in Illinois, period.
According to Mark Glennon from Wirepoints, some Chinese-made electrical products have now been found to contain “kill switches,” which are backdoor, unauthorized components that would allow somebody to remotely disable or turn off the device. This is a national security risk to our power grids as progressive Democrats continue to support Chinese solar projects.
“This Chinese company poses a national security threat and Pritzker supports their agenda to displace U.S. and other competitors. Our state has no place in helping a foreign company who hates us and seeks to takeover American land and opportunities. I’m calling on Pritzker to stand up for the people of Illinois and to immediately rescind his agreement with Gotion.”
