According to a recent report by Reuters, a group representing nearly all major automakers has once again called on United States lawmakers to pass a permanent ban on Chinese vehicles when they return next week for a quick session after the midterm congressional elections. This comes after Senate sponsors of the bipartisan effort to ban Chinese vehicles agreed in September to delay expediting the bill until November despite overwhelming support.
“We need to protect the US market from a flood of Chinese imports that carry surveillance risk and disadvantage current manufacturers that have made generational investments in American communities,” said John Bozzella, who heads the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents General Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen and other automakers.
