so... how much did does the us government give its auto industry?

They gave us auto companies 81 billion between 2008 and 2014, and continue to subsidize the industry to this day.

Yet we don’t try to sell into the Chinese market for the express purpose of undercutting their domestic product. It’s common sense to not allow that to happen.

They don’t because no one would pay double the price for a worse vehicle dude…. To undercut them, they would need to tank their profit, which obviously for good reason, no company would do, it’s also hella illegal to boot regardless. So to answer why? It’s fucking illegal dude lmfao. You clearly have a axe to grind, and aren’t even looking at the actual data, just the bias in front of you regarding “China”.

People are free to import and buy them, what don you think is stopping them…? Its because it’s a more expensive inferior product. There’s no hidden thing here, there’s no conspiracy. You just can’t understand that China makes cheaper stuff, fullstop.
