But they sell cheap EVs, aren’t threatening to invade, and Musk’s Swasticars can’t compete. It’s just economic pragmatism.
Use the Chinese EVs while building up local infrastructure. If Canada wants native production it won’t happen overnight, but if it doesn’t make a deliberate and significant push for it it’s simply never going to happen at all and you’ll always be importing from, and therefore dependent on, someone.
I think you’re unaware of the Chinese interference in Canada. By Chinese, I mean CCP. Assassinations, interference in elections, you name it. Just because they’re not vocally hostile like Trump and Musk doesn’t mean they’re not doing significant damage.
As far as I’m aware only India is assassinating people on Canadian soil, pretty weird to get those mixed up ngl, but you’re right that they’re not a friend.
Fortunately, you don’t need to be friends with someone to buy cheap cars from them.
Personally I find pointing to the slave labor a more compelling argument but that still leaves them in a better position than America who is literally threatening to invade and annex Canada how do you not get this.
I think having your production chain run through corrupt entities is just asking for future problems. CCP having backdoor access to EVs would be an amazing leverage tool for them, even if not directly referred to. “Hey, remember all those fully automatable, internet connected vehicles we sold you?”
Canada has literally participated in the invasion of multiple other nations in living memory. Frankly the CPC should refuse to engage with Canada on moral principal.
That would be like replacing evil with another evil. CCP are not angels.
