The global rise of China’s electric vehicles raises concerns in the United States: national security risks become the focus
The rise of China’s electric vehicles prompts national security concerns in the U.S., with fears of espionage risks and potential cyberattacks. The White House orders an investigation into the security risks posed by “connected vehicles” made in China, viewing them as potential spy tools due to their constant connectivity. Analysts see this as part of the broader U.S.-China technological confrontation. While the U.S. considers imposing higher tariffs on Chinese cars, concerns persist about Chinese technology penetrating Western markets. However, experts caution against overreaction, advocating for precise countermeasures to avoid harming American companies.
