Voters in rural Michigan who oppose the construction of a big Chinese-owned electric vehicle (EV) battery plant in their township have ousted from office five members of the Green Charter Township’s governing board who backed the multibillion-dollar factory, despite objections on the grounds of national security.
In a special election held last week, voters removed from office five Republican members of the Green Charter Township’s governing board in a recall after the board’s earlier approval of the $2.36 billion EV battery factory planned by Gotion Inc., which is owned by Chinese company Gotion High-tech Co.
