## Resource

Big auto giants are sounding the alarm, pushing for a permanent ban on Chinese cars in the U.S. to protect national security and the economy, especially as EVs from BYD and Geely gain global traction. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation is lobbying lawmakers with urgency, warning that connected vehicles with Chinese tech pose an immediate threat—and they’re racing to lock in protections before Congress adjourns in January. With tariffs already in place and Chinese automakers eyeing new markets like Canada and Mexico, U.S. executives fear a flood of subsidized, tech-heavy EVs could soon hit American shores.
