It’s an election year, and that means politicians are putting in extra work to pander to special interest groups they think will help them cross the finish line. If you’re looking to be elected in Michigan, there aren’t many interests more special than the automotive industry, and a good way to get the industry on your side is by going after the thing it fears the most: China.
Now, if a pair of lawmakers get their way, Chinese-badged vehicles wouldn’t just be restricted from sale or import in the US, they’d also be banned from entering the country, even for a simple day trip from Canada or Mexico.
Moves to protect the US auto industry are nothing new, and they’re popular across party lines. Former President Biden added an additional 100 percent import tariff on all Chinese-made cars during his term and then had the Department of Commerce draw up new rules—later implemented by the Trump administration—that banned the import of connected cars manufactured by companies owned by or with links to the Chinese government, starting in 2027.
