The Spin

There is no way for American manufacturers to compete on an equal playing field with subsidized Chinese EVs. Allowing these cars on US roads would be a major blow to the US auto industry, destroying the United Auto Workers and the union's ability to boost wages. These Chinese-made vehicles also represent a significant national security concern since the Chinese Communist Party will be able to collect a considerable amount of sensitive data from them. President Biden urgently needs to ban Chinese EVs.

Here we go again. Chinese EVs now pose national security risks. It's an accusation China is all too familiar with when the US attempts to shut down Chinese companies or industries without providing any evidence. The US is once again using protectionism to defend its hegemonic interests while limiting the competitiveness of others. It is not acceptable to use non-market measures to avoid market competition.
