I just worry that, as always, we the customers will bear brunt of this. Cheap EVs flooding the market is what American car companies deserve but if it’s all garbage wish . Com versions of Teslas then American consumers don’t deserve to have yet another disposable commodity forced on them. If the course of action follows we’ll have shit overpriced EVs and almost no real selection.

China doesn’t make crap, that is very very outdated perspective on Chinese goods. Chinese corporations isn’t necessarily in the business of ensuring quality control all the way up the production chain, but more luxurious brands still make all their shit in China too, they just (sometimes) add an additional layer of quality control on top of the Chinese method of industrial production.
I am sure there are absolutely shit Chinese EVs, but I am absolutely sure that there are also extremely nice affordable economy Chinese EVs, because China is a massive country and has countless different industrial production chains. It is simply a matter of doing the work to figure out which ones are producing quality EVs and which ones aren’t, same as buying any other product directly from China instead of having a western brand do the work of finding the quality products being produced in China for you and relabeling it with their brand.
That’s all but one of the toothpastes tested *containing lead. Make of that what you will, but I personally wouldn’t put it past Chinese companies taking shortcuts with what they export.

There are absolutely still garbage products coming out of China, that hasn’t changed.
What has changed is that not all of their products are garbage. Companies there have absolutely stepped it up in recent years.
That being said: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3196259/tests-show-12-out-13-childrens-toothpastes

You phrased it backwards, 12 of 13 contained lead but you said 1 of 13.
Probably a typo!
Fuck, yeah I accidentallied that one. I even had to re-read it because I missed it when you corrected me too haha
