But restricting competition is?

To benefit price gouging US companies?

They aren't price gouging, they have to pay actual living wages, have higher energy costs (China uses almost entirely cheap coal) and can't as easily use slave labor as Chinese automakers.

yeah they are pricing gouging on trucks and SUVs while designing shiti products that's expensive/hard to repair.

also tesla seems to be doing fine. GM should git gud.

If you think the repairability of American cars is bad, you're in for a rough awakening with Chinese cars.
