U.S. Pushes to Ban Chinese Cars | Spokane News

The auto industry is rallying behind a push to ban Chinese-made cars from the U.S. market, citing national security risks tied to connected vehicle tech and alleged “dumping” of subsidized vehicles. Major automakers like GM, Ford, and Toyota are urging Congress to pass legislation before year’s end, targeting companies like BYD and SAIC Motor — while raising red flags about data privacy and foreign control over American roads.

As tensions rise, China’s embassy pushes back — all amid a high-stakes battle over trade, technology, and who controls the future of mobility.
