Translation: I (as CEO of Ford) failed to address this market and my poor decisions are threatening to come back and bite me. Please save me by blocking my competitors from entering this market.

Not, this is the same CEO that has used a Xiaomi SU7 sedan as his daily driver since 2024 and famously has said 'I don't want to give it up'.

That's far beyond just testing the competition. He knows they're fucked, and he's taking advantage of his position to drive a better product basically no one else can in the US.

    Republican Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno, who claims the Chinese auto industry is “a cancer” that “was built to destroy American manufacturing, gut the middle class, and undermine our national security.”

    I thought that was the goal of the GOP? Why are they complaining? They're already OK with insurrectionists smearing shit on walls inside the capital, literally. Trump trusting Putin over the FBI. And on and on.
