Some thoughts to consider in that vein -
China can make these batteries far cheaper in China, using Chinese slave labor. So what is their incentive to set up the plant in Michigan instead?
The CCP NEVER does anything out fo the goodness of their black little hearts. Look at how they are bankrupting other countries and blackmailing them into giving up large swaths of territory with the "Roads and Belts" initiative, and with the overly lucrative "loans" they are spreading around - when the country can't repay the loan, which was designed to be too large to begin with, then the CCP just makes them an offer they can't refuse, almost always involving China taking ownership of part or all of their sovereign territory.
Even the CEO of the company admits they are going to bring in Chinese "experts", albeit in lower numbers than claimed. I think it'd be a good idea to watch and see whether those numbers of imports actually swell towards the larger figure...
So "who can say" indeed? What could possibly go wrong? Myself, I don't think it's a good idea to invite a rattlesnake into your sleeping bag and expect it not to bite you, but what do I know? I'm just another hillbilly.
