US media: Chinese car companies want to enter the US market, they may arrive soon!
On February 15, CNN in the US published an article.
Chinese-made cars may appear at US dealerships faster than you imagine, which is good news for American consumers.
China's automotive production and export volumes are both the highest in the world.
However, high tariffs and hostile Sino-US trade relations have kept them out of the US market.
Experts say this situation is likely to change, and Chinese-made cars are expected to enter US showrooms within the next 5 to 10 years.
Several Chinese automobile manufacturers have shown a willingness to "enter the US market and build factories in the US."
This will be beneficial for American car buyers.
More intense competition means more choices.
President Donald Trump criticized most Chinese products, but has recently shown a welcoming attitude toward Chinese brands, provided they build factories in the US.
"If they want to come in and hire you, hire your friends and neighbors, that's great. I like that," he said in a speech at the Detroit Economic Club last month:
"Let China in."
Last year, China produced one-third of the world's vehicles, with over 8 million exported to other global markets.
According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, this number increased by 30% compared to 2024.
In the field of electric vehicles, China is especially competitive.
Chinese automaker BYD surpassed Tesla last year to become the world's largest electric vehicle company.
Building a car factory in the US may take several years, but top experts agree that most Chinese automakers have long had their eyes on the US market.
Volkswagen, a company controlled by Chinese automaker Geely, established a factory in South Carolina in 2015.
Chinese car companies may find it difficult to break into the US market because American consumers may lack trust in an unfamiliar brand.
But this may change soon.
"As long as the car is good, do Americans really care who made it? I don't think so," analysts said: "They go to Walmart and often buy Chinese goods. I think ultimately, the market first values cost-effectiveness.
And anti-immigrant sentiment has its limits."
