More than half of all new electric cars sold worldwide are from China and it can make them cheaper and faster than its competitors.
Europe is investigating putting tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and the US have called them an 'existential threat' to America's auto industry.

There is nothing competitive about the CCP. Cheap slave labour, stolen IP, heavily discounted export costs and more all lead to a predatory form of sales. For example Temu is designed to destroy small businesses in the West by flooding the market with extremely cheap goods that they have no hope of competing with. This isn't the early 2000's where the CCP could take advantage of the West, whilst painting them as the chief enemy to a domestic audience.

After two years, that program has only delivered seven open charging stations with a total of 38 spots where drivers can charge their vehicles, according to a spokesperson for the Federal Highway Administration. (The funding should be enough to build up to 20,000 charging spots or around 5,000 stations, according to analysis from the EV policy analyst group Atlas Public Policy.)
