In the article “Democrats urge Trump to keep ban on Chinese cars in US as Xi meeting looms,” South China Morning Post reports on a letter signed by over 70 House Democrats, urging President Donald Trump not to cede on allowing Chinese automakers in the US market. The author interviewed Professor John Helveston for his insights, who called this an “unfortunate position” to take and shared deals that could be made that benefit the US while mitigating risks.
Here is an excerpt from the article: “Potential deals could include American carmakers licensing Chinese technology or forming joint ventures with Chinese firms, Helveston said, adding that security concerns could be mitigated if handled carefully. He noted that Tesla managed to secure the manufacturing and sale of its vehicles in China, and that this could be reversed for Chinese firms seeking to enter the US market.”
