Politicians in the US are deathly afraid that Americans might ever see a Chinese EV.
This is just priceless.
Free market economy. Capitalism and the mass propaganda about being superior in everything has come to this level of fearful protectionism.

* The U.S., China, and the Remaking of the World Economic Order
"After unprecedented economic growth during the 20th century, is the U.S. losing its place as a world power? How have China’s economic rise and its growing class of uber-wealthy elites shaken up its society? How are the seismic changes to both countries reshuffling the global economic order?" >>

From the essential chronicler of the world economy, a portrait of the Great Powers in transition. The world’s two great economic powers are on opposite trajectories. In the United States, decades of neoliberal policies produced a small class of rich elites and gutted the middle class. In China, the same global forces have created a massive new upper class. The result is the greatest reshuffling of global incomes since the Industrial Revolution—a dramatic shakeup of each country’s political order. As the two powers retreat from one another, the implications for their futures, and for the world economy, are uncertain. In The Great Global Transformation, acclaimed economist Branko Milanovic draws on original research to chart how these seismic shifts will shape the next century of the global economy. As both the US and China retreat into protectionism, Milanovic shows how a new and multipolar world order will follow—and how rising nationalism will have dramatically different effects on the two countries. And he shows us the fight ahead: as plutocracy returns, global war threatens, and a new system silently shapes our nations, driving populist discontent to the breaking point. A worthy successor to Capitalism, Alone and his other landmark works, Milanovic’s new book announces the arrival of a new era he terms “national market liberalism,” in which liberalism survives in domestic economies, but not necessarily in the social arena. The Great Global Transformation is Milanovic’s indispensable account of the new twenty-first century now underway.
Remember, cars are still the worst product the Mozilla Foundation as ever reviewed for privacy. This doubling down on pushing Chinese tech out of America over concerns of malware in their product is two-faced when one considers that America's own cars violate their drivers' privacy every day on the road.
