Some republicans concerned about Ford's battery deal with Chinese.
www.foxnews.com
Quote:
A group of 26 Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee are probing billion-dollar U.S. automaker Ford Motor Company over its partnership with Chinese battery firm Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL).
The GOP lawmakers — led by Energy and Commerce Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., and Energy and Commerce Oversight Subcommittee Chair Morgan Griffith, R-Va. — expressed concern in a letter to Ford CEO Jim Farley on Friday that the company's recent deal with CATL may pose a national security risk.
"While Ford has labeled this project a 'commitment to American manufacturing' and asserts it will create 2,500 new American jobs, we are concerned that Ford’s partnership with a Chinese company could aid China’s efforts to expand its control over United States electric vehicle supply chains and jeopardize national security by furthering dependence on China," the Republicans stated in their letter.
"We seek to learn more about whether this partnership, and others like it, will potentially exacerbate our reliance on China. Should China gain control of domestic electric vehicle production, the United States would be exposed to serious national security risks at a time of escalating geopolitical tensions," they added.

In February, Ford announced it would invest $3.5 billion to build a lithium iron phosphate battery plant — to supply its growing electric vehicle manufacturing — in Marshall, Michigan, creating 2,500 new jobs. As part of the announcement, the U.S. automaker said it had reached an agreement with CATL to manufacture the battery cells at the plant using services provided by the Chinese company.

Xxxx, I grew up getting indoctrinated with that BS every day growing up behind the Iron Curtain, Radio Free Europe, BBC, and VOA on short wave every night helped our family keep our sanity. As young as 8yo parents would scare me never to talk about what we talk outside or Big Brother would take them away.
Although Fox News, if true, to hear this happening in the USA makes me want to travel and find the commie bastard who staged the above event on American soil and watch him die choking on his CCP party ticket (small passport type red clad document certifying membership in Marx/Engels/Lenin styled organizations).
