Isolationism and tribalism.
Make your people believe the rest of the world are against them and they'll look to you for leadership. It's not just the US - Europe and the UK have also had a rise in jingoism, fuelled by inflated reports of immigrants.

Exactly - and the new EU safety standards will be limiting the size of screens in cars because of this.
Tesla spies on you as much if not more, and is famous for locking out features. I'm not sure there's much difference.
Nissan, BMW, Citroen all have a bunch of other lock-in too, but perhaps less than Chinese and American cars.

And America isn't?
They've been on sale in Europe for years and Tesla kept market share. Many everyday E-cars are chinese (MG, BYD etc), with Nissan and Citroen too.
But that was before the past couple of months and Tesla is now suffering hugely from reduced sales (70% in some countries) - but that has absolutely nothing to do with the Chinese ecars.
Sadly true. We actively searched for alternatives when we realised other channels were getting too manipulative and full of hate. Those who stayed haven't even realised it.
