Following the proposed move by the United States to ban Chinese software and hardware from cars on US roads, China has urged the United States to stop its ‘unreasonable suppression’ of its companies, reported Reuters.
“The [move by the United States] has no factual basis, violates the principles of market economy and fair competition, and is a typical protectionist approach,” a spokesperson for the Chinese commerce ministry said in a statement.
This action “seriously affects the normal cooperation between China and the United States in the field of connected vehicles, disrupts the global automotive industry supply chain, and harms the interests of United States consumers. The US should immediately revoke its restrictive moves,” the statement continued.
Earlier this week, the United States commerce department issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would “prohibit the sale or import of connected vehicles that incorporate certain technology and the import of particular components themselves from countries of concern, specifically the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Russia” if finalised, it said in a statement.
The latest restriction on Chinese software and hardware would effectively ban Chinese-made vehicles from the US market, due to concerns surrounding data collection by Chinese companies from US drivers and infrastructure, and the potential foreign manipulation of vehicles.
This is the latest escalation in restrictions by the United States against China after US president Joe Biden announced new tariffs on China goods, including duty for EVs which has jumped from 25% to 100%.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
US companies collect data to sell you more products. They collect data to push political propaganda.
Pretty sure after this they will claim they are keeping Malaysia safe with their ships at Sarawak waters.
Never seen US warships is Sarawak water, only communist thieve CCG vessel trespassing Sarawak waters.

US: China cars bad. China will spy on you

Like the case of the GR Corolla fire where Toyota deny warranty as they say the driver exceeded 85MPH.
US spy to get you to buy more.
China spy to grab more territory and spread propaganda.
How about Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, X, Youtube and etc application in China?
western apps are banned in China by ccp. which is totally different from usa sanctions where usa insist the whole world stop trading iran/russia/Venezuela and whoever else that they don’t like
Ya, make it illegal even thru vpns…
Wakaka. USA & China needs to calm down. The world is watching.
China claimed US as unreasonable suppression…. what a joke! How about China claiming the entire south china sea as their territory and forbids SEA countries to fish and oil mining. that’s also unreasonable suppression!
the usual US style. if they cant compete with china, etc, they spread fear and propaganda, then ban. But thanks to this, we have Huawei’s Harmony OS which will soon allow us to be free of US monopoly on software.
