Bloomberg quoted people familiar with the matter on February 9 as revealing that Biden is considering going beyond traditional tariffs and imposing new restrictions on the import of Chinese smart cars and related components. These strategic moves will cover China-origin electric vehicles and their core components, which the United States plans to impose strict import restrictions on wherever in the world they are finally assembled. The move is aimed at blocking potential paths for Chinese manufacturers to use third countries such as Mexico as a springboard to circumvent restrictions and continue to penetrate the U.S. market.
According to insiders, the United States has expressed deep concerns about the data collection capabilities of smart cars. In today's era, both traditional gasoline and emerging electric vehicles are equipped with advanced systems that are closely connected to the Internet, making these highly intelligent vehicles a prey for hackers and cyber attackers. Once the security line of the vehicle is breached, it may not only pose a direct threat to the safety of the vehicle itself and the occupants, but also may lead to the leakage of user privacy and damage.
Against this backdrop, some people familiar with the matter noted that the U.S.** may try to activate the Commerce Department's existing regulatory powers to more closely monitor and manage some transactions involving sensitive information and communications technology. This initiative aims to fundamentally solve the problem of data security and ensure that national interests and public safety are not infringed. However, given that the United States** is still conducting comprehensive and in-depth policy research and risk assessments, no final decision has yet been made on specific restrictions.
In addition, there are reports that the United States** is intensively preparing a new executive order aimed at comprehensively improving the country's data security. The order is expected to be issued as early as next week. At the same time, they are also carefully considering whether they need to impose a $27 levy on Chinese electric vehicles during the Trump era5% tariff adjustment. This series of actions not only shows the firm determination of the United States** to maintain national data security, but also reflects its positive posture in responding to economic and technological challenges from China.
Analysts have pointed out that the United States' all-round encirclement and suppression of China is constantly escalating, and the variety of means, the strength of its strength, and the wide range of its methods, from the first war to the scientific and technological war, all show its firm will and resolute attitude to maintain global hegemony. In this seemingly endless contest, the United States seems to have reached the point where it will use unscrupulous means and undisguised means. However, history has long proven that any attempt to suppress the development of other countries through unilateralism and hegemonic acts will inevitably fail in the end.
