Why They Don’t Want You Driving a Chinese Car

I took my first ride in a Chinese car recently. Not in the U.S., of course, since sky-high tariffs have made them almost impossible to import.

It was elegantly designed, incredibly comfortable, and a smooth ride.

      It’s mainly a question of proximity. The United States is right next door, China is across the Pacific. And I’m not really in a business where I’d need to travel there for professional reasons either.
