Biden Calls Chinese Electric Vehicles a Security Threat::The president ordered an investigation into auto technology that could track U.S. drivers, part of a broader effort to stop E.V. and other smart-car imports from China.
The government can’t inspect 100% of every vehicle. Chinesium crap is notorious for swapping out parts. If the company is based in the US or has significant ownership/operations in the USA then you can take actions against the company…
A Chinese company has no care in the world about US operations. They’ll just change name and peddle it under a new name. (see dropshipping problems we have now on all the major e-tail platforms).
Curious, are planes manufactured by Boeing being considered in your comparison of Chinese made vs US made products?
Well that’s a good question… I would normally say no… But a little googling brings up results like

https://interestingengineering.com/culture/boeing-company-opens-new-chinese-factory-amid-us-chinese-trade-war
and
https://simpleflying.com/boeing-777x-parts-manufacture-site/
And then you look at the problems Boeing have recently faced… And you have to wonder… newer manufacturing facilities in China… and now we’re seeing an uptick in problems at Boeing. Definitely a hell of a coincidence, but ultimately hard to tie them together as a causal relationship.
