A group representing nearly all major automakers on Monday, Nov. 2 urged U.S. lawmakers to pass a permanent ban on Chinese vehicles when they return next week for a quick session after the midterm congressional elections.
In September, the Senate sponsors of the bipartisan effort to ban Chinese vehicles agreed to delay an effort to fast-track the bill until November despite overwhelming support.
Some congressional aides and auto lobbyists think if Democrats win control of Congress there may not be enough time to approve the Chinese vehicle ban before this session ends in December.
They can’t make cars under $20000 and only Slate can potentially make an EV under $25000. They can’t handle higher fuel economy standards. They can’t figure out how to sell anything other than trucks.
So why do they need to ban cars that they have no appetite to build?
by assembling it from Chinese parts.
