China is technically a communist country but okay.

China calls itself a communist country. But it has a leader for life, ethnic purges, and plenty of well documented prison/slave/child labor.

The US has plenty of problems too, and even a vehicle made here is full of Chinese parts made by the same laborers as the Chinese cars. Tesla specifically has terrible labor violations, especially since covid, but racism before that too.

I’d rather have small simple cars made by union workers and robots, with supported rights to repair and components that won’t total a vehicle if they break. I’m not sure late stage capitalism can support that, but China certainly isn’t any more interested in that future either.
