    In a statement, Canada’s big three automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis — said the entry of these EVs “undermines” the domestic auto industry and opens Canadians up to “cyber risks.”

    A hard cap of 49,000 Chinese E.V.s (roughly 3 percent of the market) doesn’t undermine the Canadian manufacturers, it just forces them to actually fucking do somehing to make their own EVs more appealing.

        No. Not wrong. But like everything else in this propogandized polarised world, I generally believe nothing is either as bad or as good as the loudest voices like to pretend.

        Cyber risks aren’t unimportant, of course, but our risks from China are certainly no worse or better than the Cyber risks from the American government or even our own.
