Why They Don’t Want You Driving a Chinese Car

I took my first ride in a Chinese car recently. Not in the U.S., of course, since sky-high tariffs have made them almost impossible to import. I was visiting family in the U.K., and we rented a BYD Sealion SUV. And let me tell you: I saw immediately why American car companies are desperate to have these things kept out of this country. It was elegantly designed, incredibly comfortable, and a smooth ride.

Chinese wages are expensive enough that Western companies are preferring outsourcing labor elsewhere.

    Chinese wages for western companies, sure. BYD's not a western company, they get twice as many hours per week from their employees and nothing will be done to them because it's all sponsored by the government.
