We have to have a dependable supply chain. We found out during Covid we couldn't obtain the goods we needed. It doesn't matter how cheap goods are if they can't be purchased. China is a predatory, mercantilist economy. That cares more about providing its citizens with jobs than profit. They can ship goods under cost and drive competitors out of business. When it comes to cars I'll bet our tariffs haven't been anything like for example European tariffs on US cars. It's not a fair game with China. They'll supply us with hardware for our grid, but won't use our hardware in their grid. China blocks our internet.
