    That’s the point. This is nothing more than protectionism so you continue to buy western made cars. Now you don’t even have a choice.

      That’s…overstepping a bit here. They aren’t banning all foreign cars. They’re banning cars from a state enemy that aims to enrich said enemy. They are banning Hyundai, Honda, Kia…etc. China has been straight up bragging about destroying the US economy and car industry with the BYD slave labor built cars. It would be stupid if they didn’t do something about that.

        When China has the only affordable EVs currently and the US government prevents Americans from buying them, then that means the US government made a decision to slow the global adoption of EVs.

          They don’t have the only affordable EVs, they have the CHEAPEST. There’s a big difference.
