At least cars from China are predominately electric, which is the lesser evil in the short term. And they are mostly smaller than the absurdly large trucks that dominate the US market.

A say in what? I don't care where the cars come from, fuck cars anyways.
Not only are there a lot of EVs, but they're mostly smaller cars, compared to everything the USA is pumping out. Less fuel / batteries. Less road space which gives more room for walking & biking.
The goal should never, ever be to eliminate the car. For those who have mobility issues for a start. We need less cars, smaller cars, shared cars and more public transport, yes. The vehicles out of China are filling a niche that North America seems to refuse to address.
Oh look there's a ton of new room with these smaller vehicles! Whatever should we do with that space left after adding three more lanes to all freeways??? It's like 3 inches left! Let's add a bike tire lane!
are you having a stroke? It looks like you might not be entirely literate or sane.
What?
But they are crapping out scrapping fields of unsold cars already,
