It’s not China, it’s Ford. They’re now building in Michigan instead.

"Ford was reported in December to be considering construction of a battery plant in partnership with Chinese company Contemporary Amperex Technology, with Michigan and Virginia mentioned as possible sites. The batteries are central to the car company’s push into electric vehicles."

It’s pretty stupid to turn down good jobs when you believe you’re heading into a recession.

So you’re saying Virginia will have plenty of jobs and Youngkin was wrong when he predicted an economic downturn?

It's pretty stupid to do business with the Chinese in any capacity - which is why governors across the country are banning TikTok on state-issued devices. If Youngkin was a Democratic governor, you'd be applauding exactly the same action.

Why don’t you explain to us in your own words what you think the risk is here?

Youngkin hasn't said anything that others aren't saying as well. Of course there's going to be an economic downturn. But he's doing his best to keep Virginians employed. It clearly pains you that Youngkin is doing a good job.

Youngkin said the state added thousands of jobs last year and is “somewhat cushioned” in downturns by its employment mix, which includes government jobs and the defense industry. He said the state plans to invest through any downturn, which could be more mild than expected because of a moderate rise in unemployment.

“The countervailing influence here is jobs,” the governor said. “We have never had a pending recession like this where we haven’t seen a massive dislocation in the employment market.”

I already have. Why don't you explain to us in your own words why you think giving China any leg up or leverage in the US is a good idea?

There is not a single post here where anyone has explained the actual risk posed but the proposed factory.

+1 it’s almost like Republicans have a knee-jerk response to fearmongering.

Yep. They don’t actually understand any of these issues, so they spout some meaningless rhetoric and think that counts as substance.
