50 years of the US outsourcing everything they can to cheap labor countries and now they wake up and realize that this was a problem. You don’t fix 50 years of stupidity quickly.

Isn’t China already making most technology products we buy (phones, computers, TVs etc) ? Sounds like political nonsense.

US legacy automakers are 10-15 years behind, baring Chinese parts will only keep the US in the Stone Age car-wise.

America should focus on making better and more affordable batteries/EV instead of limiting others.

So America will exclude its manufacturers from buying the best tech? That sounds great for competitiveness.

Most battery tech is in Chinese hands, including the LFP batteries that make affordable EVs possible. The BYD Blade battery is already in the Tesla M3 highland and Y sold in Europe and other markets.

It’s funny how they give American car manufacturers a $7500 leg up, and GM STILL can’t fucking deliver EVs

Actually US aims to eliminate US dependence on China (and Russia, North Korea) for strategic minerals and technology.

As long as US industry is independent and can’t be shutdown by China trade restrictions such as China’s current restriction on graphite exports.

So much for free competition/ marketplace…
