A Michigan Republican running for the U.S. House has previously worked to defend a Chinese Communist Party-tied company in court versus a Michigan-based company.

A lawyer and Republican candidate for a U.S. House seat in the swing state of Michigan has in the past defended a Chinese-owned firm linked to multiple espionage investigations. Michigan-based attorney Paul Hudson, who is running in the GOP primary for Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District, served as one of the attorneys defending Yubei Power Steering Sys. Co., in a 2015 lawsuit filed by Global Technology Inc., a Michigan company.

The Gotion case was top of mind for Hudson’s GOP primary opponent, Michigan financial adviser Michael Markey, who argued Michigan 'cannot afford to elect a congressman who is in the pocket of the Chinese Communist Party.' 'This is not just a concern for voters, it is a concern for national security,' Markey told Fox News Digital. 'His ties to the Chinese Communist Party should be an immediate disqualifier for running for Congress.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for Hudson’s campaign pointed to the candidate’s long history of 'opposing Chinese aggression and influence,' noting Hudson has been a strong advocate of rebuilding the Pacific Fleet and has supported increased defense spending to counter China, including support for the recent $8 billion aid package to Taiwan.
