>The Chinese are willing to work harder for less money to produce higher quality goods.
Perhaps individual Chinese are like that, but sadly they are rules by an autocratic regime that is an open enemy of freedom and democracy. Furthermore, the upper management of every important business has ties to the party and is corrupt to the bone.
Is it in our interest to allow the Chinese controlled EVs to be openly sold in the west? The benefit could be that a poor US family might afford this car easier, the disadvantage is essentially forfeiting our security and making gathering intelligence for an enemy a lot easier. Just look at what Chinese do. It is forbidden for higher up officials in the party to use iphones. When someone important visits they actually block people in western made EVs (mostly tesla) from entering anywhere near. Why? Because they are doing exact same thing they are afraid of.

By this measure, US would be saturated in Huawei phones like PRC is in iPhones. And US streets would be clogged with Chinese cars the same way western cars on PRC streets. Hell Ericsson and Nokia are still winning token 5G contracts in China. "Exact same thing" would be PRC/CCP allowing western brands to sell in PRC except in niche security circumstances. Question is whether US is more of a security state than PRC, or benefits more from protectionism of incumbant industries.
