The U.S. government should block the import of low-cost Chinese autos and parts from Mexico, a U.S. manufacturing advocacy group said on Friday, warning they could threaten the viability of American car companies.

Sure thing, buddy. You're the only one bringing up communism and trying to act like this is some east versus west dick measuring contest. You can't even make a coherent argument about why you think this is a good thing and instead go straight for whataboutism and ad hominem attacks.

Byd cars are better and cheaper and I'd like to buy one like many people in Europe have chosen to do but the nationalist freaks that run this country and the rubes that eat up their propaganda are preventing me from doing that. Honda dominated in the 70s and 80s because they made something people wanted, liberals are terrified that China will do the same thing.

How can you claim they're better and cheaper if you have zero access to them because of whatever "nationalist freak" that's running your country? What specifically makes them better and how to they make them better than every other manufacturer while still being able to sell them cheaper?

Japanese cars still dominate because people still want them more than any other car. 8 of the 10 best selling cars in the world are from Japanese manufacturers.

I'm sure explaining how the internet works and the manufacturing and financials of a Chinese car company will get you to take off your blinders and won't be a total waste of time, weird though how the 2022 bolt new was 15000 dollars cheaper than the 2020 model new, I guess it just got real cheap to build a bigger car with a bigger battery and a better infotainment system.
