Would you apply the same logic if China banned Buicks, which are popular there?
They could just as easily raise all the prices, brick cars, refuse to repair, or worse.
You mean like John Deere, an American company?
Your broad, sweeping statement is just your opinion and applied as if it were fact.
No, this is demonstrable fact. There’s a reason Ford has gotten class action lawsuits (plural) about their horrendous vehicles.
What ‘school’ did you go to to become a mechanic?
I went to a local community college and technical school. Why is this relevant? Do you want a photo of my associate’s?
Whataboutism is a losing argument. I’d rather get targeted ads than death threats or secret police from the Chinese government.
This is just red scare 2.0 nonsense. It’s okay when your guys do it, just not the scary scary Chinese.
Consider how much IP they steal every year
Good.
None of your points have sufficient evidence or weight to even consider them. China cannot be trusted and would destroy the US if it could.
And the US wants to do the same to China, or every other country that doesn’t bend over for it. The US is not the good guy.

Valid concern
Most Chinese car manufacturers are subsidized by the Chinese government, meaning they have their hands directly in the process.
Yes, the state has a large part in the Chinese economy. Why is this an issue, when corporate control of production is also not good in the US?
The Chinese government would use the leverage of cheaper cars to destroy domestic US production with their cheap, garbage cars.
American cars, by and large, are terrible. Fords and FCA products especially are unreliable junk. If you want good, reliable, quality vehicles, you go Japanese, not American. I went to school to be a mechanic and work in the automotive industry. I seriously doubt China could make a worse transmission than the last gen focuses, or a worse engine than the 1.5l Ecoboost.
The Chinese government would load these cars with spyware and viruses to steal information from US companies, citizens, and US government employees.
American companies do the same stuff for advertising purposes.
Dude come on. Plenty of officials in West Germany after the war were Nazis. We took Nazis and used them in NASA. The US loves Nazis if they serve the ruling class or are the alternative to socialism.

You have no knowledge of the history and it’s painfully obvious.
Hamas exists because Israel killed secular resistance movements and funded Hamas’ rise.
More broken windows. More. More.
