> it would be great to be able to get one in the USA.

Allowing in Chinese EVs into markets where there are important domestic auto manufacturers will be very bad for those domestic manufacturers. (US, Germany, France, S.Korea, Japan, etc.) Outside of Tesla, none have EV brands competitive with the Chinese firms and if customers in those non China markets migrate to Chinese brands en masse, it would be tremendous disruption and the failure of many storied domestic brands.

It is important that the US have strong auto companies. Same is true for Germany, France, Japan, S. Korea, etc.

China should have strong car companies for their domestic market. The problem comes when they end up destroying other/outside markets.

Look at solar panels, drones, batteries, for similar comparisons.
