China Tampering with American Auto Industry
Carlos Velazquez
I'm a free market, free trade advocate with one exception, China, because they are not friends or allies or just a "country with a different system." China is our declared enemy. With democratic allies, I favor free trade.
I fully support all export bans and import tariffs on Chinese goods. Especially bans on anything electronic having to do with I.T. or with communications technology. Including soul sapping, addictive, spy apps like TikTok. Or any Chinese app like TEMU which is used to spy on US markets and consumer choices.
Almost as serious as security concerns is the fact that China is currently positioning itself to qualify for US government EV incentives by expanding EV manufacturing into Mexico and Brazil. As Elon Musk warns, if we allow cheap Chinese cars to be imported, it will be worse than Japan's takeover of the US's car market of the 70s. Cheap Chinese EVs and hybrids will bankrupt most if not all US car makers.
Elon Musk relied on China to fuel Tesla's rise. Now Beijing is turning on him.

Sorry, you cannot be a "free trade advocate with one exception." If you have one exception, then you must, to be intellectually honest, apply the same exception to any other nation doing the same thing, and that means you are not a free trade advocate at all.

If the "free trade" is only on one side it isn't free trade. That is our current circumstance with China.
