[Chinese automaker] BYD, which recently debuted a sub-$10,000 EV called the Seagull, is reportedly looking for a factory in Mexico. That would allow it to build cars for the US market that aren't subject to the 27.5 percent tax.

Does Sweatshop Barbie own the trademark for these EVs?

I know the focus of the article is on Chinese subsidies and unfair competition. But I'm also wondering about the security of allowing any Chinese vehicles on our roads at all.

Seems like it wouldn't take much to signal every connected car to halt on our roads, thereby disabling much of our transportation infrastructure. Doesn't even have to be a Chinese car, can just be a Chinese-designed board in an American car.

Same reason Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States"have declared that the use of Huawei telecommunications equipment, particularly in 5G networks, poses "significant security risks".

Basically the Chinese cannot be trusted.

Concerns over Chinese involvement in 5G wireless networks stem from allegations that cellular network equipment sourced from Chinese vendors may contain backdoors enabling surveillance by the Chinese government (as part of its intelligence activity internationally) and Chinese laws, such as the Cybersecurity Law of the People's Republic of China, which compel companies and individuals to assist the state intelligence agency on the collection of information whenever requested.

No Comrade Dummy we do not.

While we do have laws requiring Americans to turn over national security related data to intelligence agencies (and not speak about it) they do have to have warrants signed by a judge to get it (due process). And in America you do not have to "assist".

"Untied States".

Unintentional but apparently true!

Must protect our jobs. Unless you think we can compete with workers who are borderline slave laborers who live in huts and breathe toxic pollution nonstop.
