Co-signed by a Republican and a Democrat from Michigan, the proposed legislation would expand existing federal restrictions on connected cars from China.
Not all subsidies are the same. US car subsidies are only about making the companies as happy and profitable as possible.
China doesn’t care about profits. Their subsides are explicitly about making the vehicles super cheep to undercut everyone else. Two entirely different motivations and results.

Then why do fancy Fords cost $80k and not $40k or less?
If the government is guaranteeing them money per-vehicle built, why aren’t there massive lots flooded with a millions of unsold Fords? That’s what’s happening in China.

The US was replaced a decade ago.

Everyone get upset when China acts like the US, but without the military invasions.
