To be fair, Chinese EV's should have tariffs also because they use virtual slave labor.
Also they are mobile surveillance devices for the chinese government. Unlike american cars which are rolling surveillance devices for the lowest bidder.
I get this, but european Brands lobbied to not implement or stifle the supply chain transparency laws, soooo... none of them guarantee "no slave labor" either. Actually, given their opposition to the laws, it's reasonable to assume they indeed use slave labor too. So what does that leave the end buyer with?
