On January 17, the U.S.-China Strategic Competition Task Force posted: "We oppose Canada's opening of its market to Chinese electric vehicles. This move may allow China to solidify its position in the North American automotive market, threaten local workers' jobs, and undermine the U.S. automotive industry's century-long leading position. We believe that the overcapacity of Chinese automakers has distorted the European automotive industry. Canada's decision may lead North America to repeat the same mistakes, and we call on Canada to reconsider. During the renewal negotiations of the USMCA, the U.S. and Mexico should cooperate to strengthen the North American industry."
[Witty] The U.S. task force is really acting like a drama queen, with all sorts of absurd words revealing their sense of power insecurity! A century-long leading position in the automotive industry is achieved through innovation, but now it's relying on suppressing Chinese automakers to survive. It imposes trade protectionism and builds walls, yet accuses China of overcapacity distorting the market. The transformation of the European automotive industry is a market choice, but the U.S. forcedly blames it on China. While pressuring Canada to take sides, it uses the USMCA to exert pressure. It has forgotten the old debts of imposing steel and aluminum tariffs to exploit its North American allies. Kaney is simply following the market to seek cooperation, but the U.S. jumps up to shout threats. In fact, it's afraid that Chinese electric vehicles will break its monopoly with their own strength. This desperate attitude clearly reveals the U.S. double standards and hegemony!
