The economics and quality of Chinese EVs are remarkable and it is only through massive tariffs and protectionism that US & EU consumers are “protected” against better cars at a cheaper price.

I do appreciate the fact that letting China control domestic car markets completely is not in geopolitical interests of governments, especially since US and EU can’t beat the Chinese in a free market. Plus it’s likely these highly advanced vehicles have atleast some intentional vulnerabilities and backdoors.
