        That doesn’t stop them from existing, or being highly competitive. It’s up to western and Japanese car makers to compete rather than pretend it’s not happening.

        The cars also pass NCAP/ANCAP testing with 5 stars.

            You don’t have to like them, but explain to me how it’s a ‘deathtrap’ if it passes the same safety standards as a car produced anywhere else. A 5 star NCAP car doesn’t become less safe just because it’s Chinese.

            6 of the top 10 safest cars tested in 2023 are from Chinese automakers.

            They are producing and exporting safe and affordable electric vehicles and they’re seeing great success in Europe and Oceania. Tarrifs are the only thing protecting the US auto market from similar inroads.
