Climate advocates & Trump supporters here, would you support or against what Trump is considering:

Allow China to build limited EV in U.S. through joint ventures? The cheapest Chinese EV can be as low as $8000 ( 2022 price).

Just answer yes/no or support/against.

Let China open to US businesses, stop their incessant cyberattacks and IP theft, and then we can consider it. Ford is reported to have recently had talks with some Chinese EV manufacturers.

Was recently in Australia and BYD was everywhere, along with other Chinese brands that I am less familiar with. I know BYD is highly regarded. A WSJ reporter was able to arrange the use of one recently and was very impressed.

While I am sure that I already have several Chinese made products in my home (this MacBook Air I am typing on, for example), I don't think I could bring myself to buy a Chinese car.

People felt the same way about Japanese cars for years

When I worked in China the most popular cars were Buicks. I’ve heard that has changed. But they used to let lots of American cars in.

Absolutely

It would bring down the price of cars for everyone.

I know some people fear that the Chinese would then be able to press a button and shut these cars off…but I won’t be driving one, so who cares.

You love autocracies, so this makes perfect sense.

Thank you for the honest answers. My answer is Yes. 1. It’s Reagan’s playbook.

But not because the name of Reagan, it’s because it worked and has been working well. Today we have US-made Toyota such as Camry, Thundra, Highlander. We also have US-made Honda, Mazda, Hyundai…

2. It creates jobs, obviously. Auto industry is one of biggest job creators.

3. It boosts US manufacturing which is what we badly need.

4. China allows Tesla to build factory there. Why we, labeling ourselves to represent free market capitalism, fear they build factories here? We against outsourcing our jobs and manufacturing overseas. Why we also against insourcing, capital inflow and job creation?

As for how good or successful US-made Chinese EV is, let market decide it.

Hell no. You get what you pay for and Chinese quality is very low.

Chicanery is always a part of any Chinese endeavor in the US.
