In August of 2023 five Chinese students from the University of Michigan were discovered sneaking around after dark in the woods near Camp Grayling, Michigan, a national guard training site in the center of north central Michigan at the junction of Interstate Highway 75, US Rte. 127, M-72 and M-93. The students were not arrested but federal authorities have since kept tabs on them, discovering that they may have misled investigators by claiming to have made the trip from Ann Arbor to see shooting stars and later deleted photos of military equipment from their smart phones.
US authorities don't know the location of the five but intend to arrest them if possible.
A further consideration brought by the incident is that there is presently a plan to construct a battery plant only 88 miles from the base involving the presence of an entity with ties to the CCP. Michigan congressman Joe Moolenar said:
"This case shows once again that CCP espionage can happen anywhere in America and we must be vigilant. The CCP obviously has an interest in Camp Grayling and this is further evidence it would be a mistake for Michigan leaders to allow Gotion to build in our state. State funding for Gotion’s plan to bring Chinese nationals to Mecosta County is an open invitation for further spying on Camp Grayling.
For national security reasons, Governor Whitmer and the legislature must revoke state funding for Gotion immediately,” the Republican Congressman stated, linking the charges against the students to the battery plant.
The purpose of taking photos at night of a national guard camp in Michigan hasn't been speculated upon by federal authorities. Anyone else could come up with a few possibilities. First of all, is it illegal for anyone to take photos of Camp Grayling or just students from foreign countries? Are foreign students advised upon arrival in the land of the free and home of the brave that taking photos involving the military is illegal? And after the espionage mission is completed what will the spies, and their masters, do with the photos? Could they be useful in planning an attack on north central Michigan? Or could a midnight photo of Camp Grayling shed light on US National Guard training techniques that the godless Commies can adopt for their own evil purposes? Exactly how close can a Chinese be allowed to approach a US missile, howitzer, L-ATV or even enlisted infantryman? Or, did the college students concoct a plan to sell photos of the installation to the Chinese military itself?
