Labeling it "hype" is whitewashing and condoning China's behavior, as would be buying their vehicles. The Chinese form of governance imposes real human suffering on its population and in some cases, outright genocide. Too, their lack of regulations cause real harm to the environment. These are realities, not "hype."

Everyone has high moral standards until it comes to something they want then all of a sudden not so much.

How is it fair that they tax American imports 27.5% tariffs, when the US has no equivalent tariffs on Chinese imports.
To evade the 27.5% duty, the US import must be locally made in China, and the US manufacturer must hand over their technology and pair with a local Chinese company.
Shouldn’t the US also force the Chinese import to be locally made to waive a 27.5% import duty, and shouldn’t the Chinese manufacturer have to hand over their technology and pair with local US manufacturers?

Before reading the following post, please be aware that I'm 100% joking...
If Satan manufactured cars that met your needs, was priced right, was stylish and had kick-*** performance would you buy one? In other words, would you buy a Tesla?

There are many good points in this thread regarding pricing, tariffs, global competition, history, and such. However, I wouldn't buy a Chinese car for one simple reason...China's human rights abuses by their totalitarian military rulers. Why would we support this type of government? Why are we currently sending so much of our manufacturing to China? Corporations and billionaires are enjoying higher returns because of it, but it's at the expense of American blue collar workers. America's past success was largely due to the strength of its middle class and its manufacturing jobs. Do we really believe we can continue in dominating the world economically if we don't manufacture products and simply become a nation of consumers? Seems to me we will sink the ship if we can't correct course! Please don't buy Chinese cars.

We barely buy any from them anyway, 7% for petroleum and 8% for crude......and that's only on our import side that only comprises 37% of our total anyway so it's well under 3% of total. Not a real factor vs Canada or Mexico
