U.S. Congressmen Call for Complete Exclusion of Chinese Cars from the Market
According to Reuters, U.S. Republican Senator Bernie Moreno stated on March 31 that he would introduce a bill aimed at strengthening Washington's ban on Chinese automakers entering the U.S. market and encouraging other countries to follow suit.
The Biden administration has already implemented regulations prohibiting all Chinese automakers from selling passenger vehicles in the United States before January 2025, citing concerns that vehicles might collect sensitive driver data, thus posing national security risks. This ban has received support from U.S. automakers and other automotive groups.
Speaking at an automotive forum event, Senator Moreno said the proposed new bill would go further than the import ban, completely shutting off the U.S. market to ensure "Chinese cars will never enter our market—neither hardware, software nor partnerships." "There will be no Chinese cars here. I hope Latin America, Mexico, Canada, and Europe can follow suit."
However, former President Trump has taken a more open stance toward Chinese automakers. In January this year, he said: "If they (Chinese automakers) want to build factories in the U.S., hire you, your friends, and your neighbors, that’s great—I’d be very happy."
