MOSCOW, Idaho -- Idaho Republicans are calling on Gov. Butch Otter to detail the state's economic ties with China.
The party's central committee passed a resolution Saturday urging the governor to highlight any involvement by China in his economic development plans.
The Lewiston Tribune reports that the resolution reads: "the stability of our form of government is being undermined by strategies used by the Chinese state-government-controlled entities through investments, corporate takeovers, intelligence operations and rare-Earth monopolization."
Otter led a trade mission to China last year, and a Chinese company has proposed developing a technology zone south of Boise Airport.
The governor has said Chinese investment is producing tax revenues and jobs, while being limited by state and federal laws.
