Lol, China doesn't "want to act like a bully like America" :) . I suppose that's why China has banned so many American companies from doing business there : KZread is blocked in China, i.e. *prevented from making any money* ; so is Facebook, GitHub, and countless other American tech firms. Now that the US is finally paying them back in kind, these people are losing their chopsticks. Hilarious.

who's voicing against this the most, there's your answer

US firms made $472 billion in revenue in China in 2022. Companies like Nike, Starbucks, Apple make billions of revenue every year. Its not just factories, many companies will lose big part of their revenue chain in a single strike. China is the only country where Apple had to lower prices, unheard of in rest of the world.

The government spend over 5 billion to build ev charging stations, and they only build less than 10 high power charging stations in 2 year. And I thought this was a joke or fake new.😅

exactly, so who paying these people to post this nonsense about consumers getting hurt?

Volvo is owned by Geely Automotive, thus Volvos built on Chinese platforms will be here. BYD already builds electric buses and trucks in California.

The US market is Sinophobic. You already have Tesla in the US. China should focus on the Global South and its allies where they can sell more inexpensive and high-tech NEVs and green-tech products. The Global South within the BRI deserves to enjoy Chinese products that are more high-end compared to the US. The US has one or three high-tech brands monopolizing the economy while China has more, which can give consumers in the Global South more choices and even lower prices because of competition.

Math: 100% on $0 car import from China is, ZERO!!! Might get reelection votes, though. If import one Chinese car, all of the 100% tariff will have to come out of that buyer’s pocket.
