US demand grows for Chinese cars despite privacy and security fears

Yeah when doorbells sell your facial recognition to the USG just because you walked by someone's house, when your wifi password is stored by Google or Microsoft or Apple and sold for profit, when every company under the sun has been breached with no financial or legal repercussion, when everyone is complicit at selling your information while censoring your speech based on Trump's whims, who cares about privacy? China privacy fears? If China wanted your information, they would just buy it from the American companies you "trust" who are selling it on the open market.

When American cars are being recalled because the engines are dying under 20k miles (Chevy V8) and $50k "rugged" vehicles come with plastic oil pans (Ford Bronco), and nobody domestic makes reasonably sized sedans any more, and our only good electric vehicle maker turned out to be run by a fascist, why would you ever buy an American vehicle?

Sounds like the pragmatic thing is to buy a Chinese electric vehicle at half the price of an American vehicle and it will last twice as long. So now the narrative begins to keep them banned, just like they did to Tiktok and Huawei phones.

people are easily swayed by money regardless sof how rich they are.
