    A totalitarian government that allows slave labor, genocide and wants to invade Taiwan. Really?

        You don’t get why we shouldn’t be trading with China And instead should ge enabling our own EV manufactures ?

          So you’re pretending I’m making arguments I’m not because my comment makes you uncomfortable?

          Have at it, I’m sure you’ll come out on top by arguing with yourself.

            Your comments don’t make me uncomfortable. You just don’t seem to grasp why trading with China is bad.

              You have no basis for that accusation, you’re playing make-believe.

              It’s obviously difficult for you to engage in an honest discussion, though, so I can see why you make things up.

                  You answering your own make-believe comments is as self-evident as you avoiding my question.

                  This is specifically about independently tested high-scoring automobiles to European and Australian markets, not products released by American companies from untrustworthy manufacturers to Americans.

                  Your list has American companies choosing to sell dangerous and unregulated products to Americans until enough legal violations pile up, very different from China manufacturing and selling regulated and independently tested EVs to non-US markets.

                    Don’t get me wrong, this is just to show a history and why people may not trust Chinese products, EVs are a great stepping stone to our next less environmentally damaging inventions. IF Chinese EV makers meet safety etc regulations then they will start to repair their reputation, if they also stop their less honest companies from exporting crap that will hurt consumers regardless of who pays them.

                    Was just showing why there is distrust. Hopefully they follow regulations and force, through quality products, other car makers to make smaller, better, and more economical vehicles.
