We export $55B in automotive cars and parts annually. If China gets a foothold in Mexico or starts dominating markets in Europe or Indonesia or India, the Americans are in for a lot of pain long term.

There's also a demoralizing effect of foreign countries having better cars than the states. Japan really fucked the American psyche with Toyota's global dominance.
