Elissa Slotkin&#8217;s alleged \u200cconnections to\u2064 China. This accusation has been a recurring \u2063theme throughout their electoral battle. With the election\u200c approaching, the Rogers campaign has launched \u2062a \u2063new website aimed at persuading voters that Slotkin&#8217;s congressional actions have negatively \u200bimpacted Michigan residents. The site claims \u2062that\u2062 voters &#8220;can\u2019t trust\u200b Slotkin to stand up to China&#8221; because she allegedly signed a nondisclosure agreement with Gotion, a Chinese-owned electric vehicle battery manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>Slotkin&#8217;s campaign has firmly denied these claims,\u200d insisting they are unfounded attacks from national Republicans. Her spokesperson\u200b emphasized Slotkin&#8217;s commitment to national security and her efforts \u2062to\u2064 combat Chinese influence,\u2062 stating that she did not sign any \u2064agreement related \u200bto the Gotion project. While\u200d some\u200b reports indicate there is no evidence supporting the NDA \u200cclaim concerning Gotion,\u2064 it is noted\u200b that Slotkin did sign an NDA\u200d related to different economic development\u200d projects within her district. \u200cCurrent\u2063 polling shows \u200dSlotkin slightly leading Rogers \u2064as they both vie for the U.S. Senate \u200cseat vacated by retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Mike Rogers seeks to tie Slotkin to China in final campaign push<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1219611\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Michigan Senate candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-rogers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Mike Rogers&rsquo;s<\/a> campaign team is making a final warning to voters of Rep.

Slotkin has dedicated her career to protecting the U.S. from foreign threats and in Congress,&nbsp;she has been leading the charge to combat Chinese influence in critical supply chains and the auto industry. Rep. Slotkin never signed any agreement related to the Gotion project or the Chinese government.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Multiple news outlets, including the <em>Detroit News<\/em> and <em>Detroit Free Press<\/em>, have reported there being no evidence of Slotkin signing a NDA related to the Gotion project.<\/p>\n<p>Slotkin did <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1f3vHOlwWT8pEHWXlXbdYgy-R6du2tUGV\/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">sign<\/a> an NDA, along with dozens of lawmakers on both signs of the political aisle, with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation during the time that the state was in negotiations for the Gotion battery plant. However, the NDA Slotkin signed was regarding two different economic development projects in her district.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dating back to December of last year, the Rogers campaign has run advertisements that Slotkin signed an NDA related to the development of a Gotion plant.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The proposed plant is wildly unpopular with Michiganders;
