A state economic development board approved the plans for the factory. It was to be built in both Big Rapids and Green Charter Townships.<\/p>\n<p>After the unanimous vote of the Big Rapids town board to request a federal review in case of national security risks, construction was delayed in Big Rapids. According to The Detroit News the security concerns were caused by the Chinese ownership of the company.<\/p>\n<p>Residents expressed concerns about the presence the company in their area, citing national security being the most pressing issue due to China&#8217;s ongoing tensions.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;The thing that drives some the most crazy about this is that this is a Chinese-owned company. A Chinese-owned company is a communist company. Why would you bring a communist company to Big Rapids, Michigan, when we have troops mobilizing right now to fight China?&#8221; A resident said that he was an Iraq War vet at the meeting. &#8220;Why would we invite the enemy to come spy on us? All the things on here are bad, but the thing that drives me the most nuts is that it is our enemy, not the Chinese people. I have nothing against the Chinese people because they suffer under the same communism that you all are trying to bring here. It&#8217;s disgusting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Other residents voiced similar concerns and warned against China extending its reach into the United States. Opponents suggested that the plan should not be limited to Chinese owned factories. &#8220;American companies on American soil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tudor Dixon, a former Republican candidate for governor, is leading the effort to stop the Chinese company building their factory.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote data-service=\"twitter\" data-category=\"marketing\" data-placeholder-image=\"https:\/\/c3.oann.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/complianz-gdpr\/assets\/images\/placeholders\/twitter-minimal.jpg\" class=\"cmplz-placeholder-element twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Residents who protested the Big Rapids communist Chinese nuclear battery plant were focused, clear, and to the point.
