BIG RAPIDS, Mich.—Vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), in a western Michigan rally on Aug. 27, criticized a controversial proposal to subsidize the construction of a Chinese-owned manufacturing plant in the region with U.S. tax dollars.
Vance told approximately 1,000 attendees that the plan, supported by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), was a threat to national security.
