America’s auto industry has grown concerned that Chinese carmakers may be preparing to set up shop in Mexico to exploit North American trade rules.

It’s a scenario that terrifies America’s auto industry.

Chinese carmakers set up shop in Mexico to exploit North American trade rules. Once in place, they send ultra-low-priced electric vehicles streaming into the United States.

As the Chinese EVs go on sale across the country, America’s homegrown EVs — costing an average of $55,000, roughly double the price of their Chinese counterparts — struggle to compete. Factories close. Workers lose jobs across America’s industrial heartland.

    As for read and replied to on a Chinese made phone…I’ll gladly bash Chinese stuff when it’s made of pure lead and toxic but this is an American manufacturing issue not a Chinese one… same thing happened in the 70/80 with Japanese automotive manufacturing due to the US not making what people want…
