Lol. I thought the USA was the champion of freedom and capitalism? What a joke

[alextube]

Go ahead, it will just hurt Americans even more, all these self harming tariffs.

[ianthesiow]

America calls it "Liberation" instead of "Invasion". That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on... Why the double standard? Confused... Please enlighten. Genuine question...

Biden needs to put tariffs on all his party's mouths

[KwaBenA_OfoRi]

The West - let's go green by making and patronizing EVs.
China - Ok, here are very affordable EVs for acceleration of the green environment agenda.
The west - how dare you surpass us China?! We're supposed to be leaders in that sector!

[manwingchi]

China doesn't not care, is the American pay more. Just don't do business all together, straight forward, I think China doesn't care a bit. 😂😂😂

[passby]

Inflation Reduction Bill should have been called Inflation Acceleration Bill.

[jackyee]

China was smart in investing in EVs battery technology, and EV charging infrastructure early on. Of course China will subsidize its industries. The same way Trump imposes protectionist tariffs and Biden imposes semiconductor technology export restrictions and battery import restrictions. The only difference is when China or any Asian nation leads, the elitist white Anglo centric Washington DC politicians love to act xenophobic. That is short term thinking and will not save them. The U.S, Japan, Germany are stuck in a gasoline internal combustion engine economy that will take decades to overcome and convert to an EV system.

[DanBurgaud]

LETS GO! impose 1000% tax.
There are no Chinese EV in USA.
But there are American auto in China....

[windsongwong]

No brainer that USA should imposed tariffs on Chinese products.
Let the Americans buy expensive products and let the rest of the world enjoys cheap chinese products.
The rest of the world would be stupid to buy the super expensive USA products.
The high wages in USA is becoming illusory as it would buy expensive products as well.
I pay $10 for a medical consultation with a doctor in Malaysia.
I pay $200 for a Huawei smart watch.

[Realone]

Let them build here . New jobs and more choices for US customers

[generector]

The public has been waiting four years for car prices to come down. The one thing that could bring down the greedy, other Gods, car prices is cheap china cars and now tariffs heaped on the poor and middle class’s only hope.

[partTosstato]

express my satisfaction with President Biden's sanctions on copyright abuse and exports of defective products.
The U.S. and the U.N. should further strengthen their checks on China against such scams of selling defective products at dirt cheap prices.

[jacksmith-muee]

Fun fact

There are no chinese evs in usa . So they imposed a tax on cars that are not even sold in usa

Luckily i bought mine over an year ago .

[SuperSynoptic]

Has any given thought as to who is going to repair the EV's and exactly where these techs can be found? And, the prices will be outrageous.

[danysl]

Good. China definitely will equally impose tariff on all US cars. Tesla, GM and Ford can say bye bye to China market.

[VenomSnakee]

China does practice loss leader tactics, so i can't say that tariffs are not warranted. Too bad that EVs in general are probably going to be put on ice because of this and the downfall of EV brands in general

[axe]

Lol how are we "electrifying" America 😅😅

[asoganmoodaly]

Are these the same EVs the Detroit 3 say that no one wants, to explain why US OEMs are pulling back on their own EV rollouts? Let the market decide!

[keungpang]

kishore mahbubani, "has china won" absolutely resounding yes.😂😂😂😂
