MEDIA PACKAGE: Moolenaar Hosts Community Roundtable on Gotion

Watch Congressman Moolenaar's Opening Remarks: "Finally, you should know the brave men and women of our military want nothing to do with Gotion, as the Department of Defense is prohibited from buying the company's batteries. So why would we allow this company to receive tax dollars, buy our land, and build a factory here?

This morning, Congressman John Moolenaar hosted a roundtable discussion in Green Charter Township to discuss Gotion's ties to the Chinese Communist Party, its reliance on forced labor used by China for its supply chain, and the CCP's growing hostility towards the United States. Moolenaar was joined by Congressman Darin LaHood (R-IL), and the following witnesses:

• Amanda Piker, Concerned Citizens of Manteno (Illinois)
• Emily de La Bruyère, Co-Founder, Horizon Advisory
• Mr. Brian Cavanaugh, Senior Vice President, American Global Strategies
• Ambassador Joseph Cella, Head of the Michigan-China Economic Security Review
