How a Chinese battery factory sparked a political meltdown in a small Michigan town. (restofworld.org)

The Gotion factory highlights the challenges Chinese companies face in the U.S., particularly during a climate of deep political polarization, nationalism, and growing suspicion toward China.

A grassroots “No Go” movement, fueled by fears of communism and environmental concerns, successfully stalled the project in Michigan, leading to the ouster of local officials who supported the factory.

The Gotion case shows the disconnect between national economic goals and local concerns, especially in communities wary of globalization and foreign investment.

To be fair, we have not seen one succesful example of communism. They all either quickly turn into authoritarism with little sprinkles of communism, or are not communism at all

I was referring to the locals thinking a Chinese company had something to do with communism.
