<![CDATA[Auto Companies Call For Ban On Chinese-Made Cars]]>

A group representing American automakers sent a letter (PDF) Thursday to congressional leaders asking for a "permanent ban" on Chinese-made cars in the U.S. John Bozzella, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation's CEO and president, described in the letter China's manufacturing industry as "rooted in a well-documented pattern of unfair trade, subsidies, intellectual property theft and surveillance." Bozzella addressed his request to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) -- urging them to back a "permanent ban on the sale, import and manufacture of Chinese connected vehicles," before the 119th Congress concludes in January.

Then if the Chinese ones pass, cool. If they don't then the "ban" is in place like they wanted.

My guess is they won't because the "big three domestic" manufacturers won't pass either.

Maybe they can move their production back at a loss if this ban is truly about the principle of the matter and not profit lol
