The US government is effectively banning Chinese-made cars from its roads. Some in Australia want the government to take notice

The federal government says it is in contact with the US about the new moves it has put up against Chinese car companies.

The federal government is facing calls to respond to an effective ban on Chinese carmakers in the US with moves of its own.

Auto industry experts say any moves would be complicated, and risk slowing the pace of Australia’s transition to electric vehicles.

The Albanese government says it is “closely monitoring” the moves in the US, and is in talks with the Biden administration about any local implications.

      This time they are right, but not just about China but all manudacturers. Mozilla released a security and privacy evaluation report on all the major manufacturers and it was appalling.
