If America bans them from the U.S or applies sanctions and/or looks to draw U.S auto companies back to America to avoid risk, it is going to hurt us significantly.
The nation of Japan, one of two nations I have reached out extensive too, understand the human right record and police state abuses. Honda almost certainly without $15B in investment and thousands of good paying jobs as they do not wish to be exposed to a security threat or the underpriced slave labour EVs from China.
I must say that some are pointing to Trumps trip to China and his nice words as a sign that Canada should increase significantly Chinas role in Canada.
The Commies are going to win eventually. Just as was warned about 70 years ago. The MSS are brilliant in their efforts regardless of ones opinion of Chinas system.
Chinese EVs are coming to Canada, and some dealers can't wait to sell them
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia — Michael MacGillivray sees the arrival of Chinese electric vehicles in Canada as a potential game changer.
“I think it is going to a be a huge eye-opener,” said MacGillivray, who oversees 10 dealerships in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada.
As the CEO of Century Auto Group and Sigma Auto Group, MacGillivray is working to become one of the dealers in the country who will sell imported Chinese EVs. In April, he went to the Beijing Auto Show with other dealers from Canada to establish relationships with Chinese automakers and get a feel for the cars and SUVs they could eventually export to his country.
“When I was in China, I was very impressed by the Chinese vehicles,” he said. “They have materials that are second to none. Their styling is impressive. The ride is very impressive.”
Not everyone likes the idea of Canada allowing the sale of EVs imported from China.
The Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association said the decision to allow the sale of Chinese-made EVs was deeply concerning.
President Donald Trump is even more harsh, calling the move “a disaster.” U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted on X, “Canada will live to regret the day they let the Chinese Communist Party flood North America with their EVs.”
Officially, Canada is allowing just 49,000 Chinese-made EVs to be imported for retail sales annually at a tariff rate of 6.1%, a fraction of the 100% tariff that is in place for all other vehicles China would export to Canada.
That lower tariff for EVs has convinced Chinese automakers it’s time to set up dealerships.
“We received nearly 400 inquiries from different dealers across Canada who are very interested and excited to represent any of these Chinese brands,” said Farid Ahmad, CEO of DSMA, an auto dealership broker in suburban Toronto
