Washington views Beijing as its biggest geopolitical rival, and the legislation is touted as ensuring the U.S. prevails in the competition
Can't have Americans getting cheap EVs or cancer screening tests.
Not if it’s sending DNA data to another country. Does it have regulatory or FDA approval?
And cars. Not if the EV is undercutting economies and has suspect standards as well as potential issues with lack of long term support or even repair.
I’m not trying to be a jerk, but my whole life those ‘Made in China’ things are often not the best quality. Economically it’s a lot less expensive, perhaps but quality speaks volumes. I mean, look at Tesla, I’ll never buy one now.
Add to the fact that it’s technologically decked out to some degree too, and the cybersecurity there is also suspect.
Across the board: No thanks.
Made in China can be crap and often is but they do make good stuff.
If the cars are unsafe then do not allow them to be sold in the US. The solution is not to ban China from exporting to the United States it's to just increase safety standards of cars in general in the United States. Which of course they already know but don't want to do because car manufacturers in the US want to keep making cars at the current standards. They just don't want to have to compete with China.
And if you think cars are safe in the US think about why the cyber truck is only sold in the US and not in Europe. Safety or lack thereof.
For a very long time "made in Japan" held the same connotations of inferiority. Look at those manufacturers now.
sending DNA data to another country
This is a cop-out.
All companies handing US medical data have to comply with HIPA.
suspect standards
This is also a cop-out.
All cars sold in the US have to meet US regulations.

You're grasping at straws trying to excuse our representatives representing capital over us. Can't sell $60,000 SUVs when a $20,000 EV is higher quality.
Hmm this reads like propaganda. Hey wait a minute, VOA?!
Of course this is basically "socialism" - Nations protecting their economy from cheap goods so that they can build up and maintain their own vehicle and drone manufacturing. And seeing how efficient the drones proved in Ukraine this is smart.
This is how imperialism always worked. This is just protectionism couched in "china bad".
Quite a reasonable choice considering china’s actions…
oh yes. nothing more important to do. like funding our own government!!!
Leavemy fucking cheap betaflight controllers alone.
Better yet, stop fucking with the group of people that can throw a piece of carbon through your car window at 40mph using nothing but a pair of sticks.
There's probably members of the community more unhinged than I am, and its probably not a good idea to taunt them lmao.
Edit:nvm its just more dji shit, granted some of photodrone "pilots" are dipshits with them, but that's less dji and more the people voting them.
