One reason is that for many years the other countries have higher tariffs on American made cars.
Meanwhile Washington straps America’s auto industry to an overwhelmingly lethal load of federal regulations.

You want to buy an exploding Chinese EV? Be my guest. Upholstered by Uighurs.
Don’t forget overreacting unions.
I don’t know anyone who owns a Chinese vehicle. Do you?

Plastic trinket cars.
Even worse than US cars.

Everything causes cancer in California.
During covid era, I was worried about popping plastic packing bubbles coz it contained air from China.
