I'm with Trump, on this. Higher tariffs all around.
The cars and other products they produce are substandard. Look beyond the top line figures. On EVs, you will find claims of eight per week catching fire. There is lots of video evidence that gets out. Some of the situations result in a horrendous loss of life. On the other hand, there is a video of a Tesla Model 3 hitting six cars, flying through the air and finally landing. The air bags deployed, no fatalities and NO battery fire. There are other videos of a new model from one of the manufacturers where the engineering and production are so bad on the EV that the real axle detaches from the vehicle while traveling. This is amateur time.
I have lots of other examples, some of which I have been brought in to try to resolve, of products being produced to poor quality standards or where the manufacturer in China substituted components without telling the customer resulting in massive losses if not outright business failure.
What really irks me is that the environmentalists are not all over this. The reality is that in moving manufacturing to China we have just exported our pollution. They are killing their own people and the planet.
It would actually be a good thing for the Chinese if they changed course. With the real estate bubble popped, there is less employment for the millions of migrant workers.
The CCP is moving China in the wrong direction. In the end it all comes down to corruption. Kind of like Russia. Wait, who trained the Chinese commies? Oh, yes, the Soviets.
