Last week I was in Costa Rica. My taxi we took was a Chinese Electric Vehicle. It had 200 kilometers, brand new. It was amazing a very SMART car, with all kinds of sensors, almost no need of a driver, and for sure collecting all sorts of data, and who knows how they could use this data to send back to their leader in China.

They would most certainly be a threat if one parked in your garage or underneath your hotel.

Who needs a balloon when we can drive right into classified areas with cameras all around? Why is this only EV autos?

My goodness! With all of that data, the Chinese might figure out that the Biden Administration is a bunch of evil dolts! We cannot have foreign powers figuring that out, to the extent they don’t already know it.

Right now, our biggest security threat is the Brandon administration.

I suppose a law requiring that cars NOT collect data and store it or send it to the mothership is out of the question.

Oh, the ChiComs would NEVER implement an “IGNITE” command in the car’s software. Nope, never.

Like Biden really cares. All he cares about are his union buddies.

I don’t dispute China collecting the information, but, at least for the short term, I am MUCH MORE INTERESTED in what DC is doing with all of the information now being sent to them from today’s newer cars.

(and don’t fool yourself, any industry as highly regulated by the feds will not have any issue ratting out every bit of data they can get from you)

Meanwhile he continues to leave the border wide open allowing thousands of male Chinese nationals of military age into the country.

It’s definitely out of the question. The Feds don’t want to stop the data collection. They want to get in on the action.

One of President Biden's first executive orders was removing President Trump's ban on TikTok.

They bribed heavily for that.

A few hundred million dollars to control the most powerful country in the world, and an economic policy over dozens of trillions of dollars, is a very cheap bribe.
