The U.S. government should block the import of low-cost Chinese autos and parts from Mexico, a U.S. manufacturing advocacy group said on Friday, warning they could threaten the viability of American car companies.

    Interesting that you chose to use ‘capitalism’ as a pejorative while simultaneously trying to defend negative aspects of it.

      I’m pointing out that your problem with this is the problem you should have with the entire wildly destructive and corrupt US auto industry, which is doing the thing you’re afraid chinese car makers might one day do. I know it’s a hard thing for people poisoned by nationalism to apply a standard uniformly, but do try.

        I think one of us has been poisoned by nationalism and it definitely isn’t me. You and your buddies entire chain of comments here is laughably hypocritical, but I understand you all have a job to do with regards to pushing CCP propaganda.

            Sure thing, buddy. You’re the only one bringing up communism and trying to act like this is some east versus west dick measuring contest. You can’t even make a coherent argument about why you think this is a good thing and instead go straight for whataboutism and ad hominem attacks.

              Byd cars are better and cheaper and I’d like to buy one like many people in Europe have chosen to do but the nationalist freaks that run this country and the rubes that eat up their propaganda are preventing me from doing that. Honda dominated in the 70s and 80s because they made something people wanted, liberals are terrified that China will do the same thing.

                How can you claim they’re better and cheaper if you have zero access to them because of whatever “nationalist freak” that’s running your country? What specifically makes them better and how to they make them better than every other manufacturer while still being able to sell them cheaper?

                Japanese cars still dominate because people still want them more than any other car. 8 of the 10 best selling cars in the world are from Japanese manufacturers.
