Michigan community stops Chinese company’s latest land grab: Fighting them ‘every step of the way’

Residents say the fight is still ‘far from over’ in Green Charter Township

A Michigan community has successfully blocked a Chinese energy company’s latest attempt to purchase two parcels of farmland in Green Charter Township, but despite the victory, residents say the fight is still far from over.

“We’ve got a small win here,” local Lori Brock, who helped lead the fight against the purchase, told “Fox & Friends First” Monday. “It was because we didn’t get any help from Michigan, but we called the federal EPA, and the federal EPA came up here and they and they got back some of the land for us.”

CCP-allied industrial company Gotion withdrew its purchase of the agricultural land after community outcry, but is moving forward with developing an EV battery factory on hundreds of acres previously purchased in Mecosta County. The Biden administration approved the project in June after a months-long national security review.
