I mean the CEO of Ford said it was humbling when he traveled to China to see what they were doing. Then he imported a Xiaomi SU7 to Michigan apparently so they could “study” it. The U.S. called that reverse engineering anytime China did such when I was growing up.
IIRC, some executive at Ford imported a Chinese EV and prefers it over their own cars, says he won’t give it up.
That’s how captive the US is as an auto market. You think that guy is going to stop lobbying to prevent the cars he sees as cheaper and better from competing against his product?

It’s the same CEO, Jim Farley. He knows American manufacturing is smoked cause they can’t keep relying on F150s forever.
Especially when the current F150 isn’t desirable. Every truck guy I know of wants old trucks with less tech and longer beds.
How the tables have turned.
