What makes BYD different from, say, Volvo, which sells EVs freely in the US?

    Headquarters Gothenburg, Sweden

    Parent Geely Holding (78.7%)
and if you see the parent starting to replace Volvo engineers with Chinese nationals you will witness sudden change of heart by US officials; until then it really is just a financial fiction
How exactly does the fact that this goes through a subsidiary in Sweden change the things you mentioned?
Apparently, whether or not the engineers are Chinese is the deciding factor. as long as Nicklas Backstrom is designing the EV, its all good. Or in other words, Chinese scary!
