To reverse the trend, Snyder and his team are relying on formidable Michigan players -- General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co., Dow Chemical Co. and top law firms, the University of Michigan and Michigan State University -- to open doors with Chinese business leaders, politicians and bureaucrats.

Yep, can't do anything without approval from the ambulance chasers.  And, why put the spoils of a failed governorship on the back-burner when the costly GreenTard movement is actively entrenched at Dow?

The goal: To market Michigan as ripe for jobs-creating capital, be it through acquisition (see Pacific Century Motors' purchase from GM of Saginaw-based Nexteer Automotive Corp.) or direct investment by Chinese players looking for footholds (and credibility) in the rich U.S. market.

Nexteer?  Now there's a Frilliant example.  Allow me to recall what that ChiCom and goonion labor fellating scheme cost taxpayers in Michigan.

A year ago, the Michigan Economic Development Corp.'s Michigan Economic Growth Authority approved a state tax credit valued at $70.7 million over 10 years to encourage Nexteer to expand in Michigan over competing sites in Europe and China...

In turn, Buena Vista Township approved a 20-year, 100 percent tax abatement, meaning the company will not pay township taxes for 20 years on any equipment it brings in starting this year.

Yep, crony capitalist ruling class and those living in denial that elect them keep chasing after scraps while crapping on the home team.

The governor says he also wants to showcase potential Michigan products for exports to the vast Chinese market. Agricultural candidates include blueberries, corn and soybeans from across the Lower Peninsula; commodities from the Upper Peninsula include timber and mining materials; and manufactured goods include auto parts and materials to produce solar panels.

Ah yes, the GoverNerds Big Agri illegals.  Swell, just swell.  Auto part exports?  BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA.  Sorry, wrong way on that one.  Materials to produce solar panels?  That must mean coerced gummint monies will be sent to the ChiComs just like it was sent to India.
