It was okay for China to sell America cheap goods that didn't compete on quality, but not okay for China to sell us anything that is better quality. Japan went through this too. Eventually, the better product prevails.

The tariffs, ironically, only make matters worse for American manufacturers because they believe they have time to catch up when they don't. In 10 years, I bet almost all desirable EVs are mostly made in China or with Chinese parts. Of course, there will almost be market for American schlock. As there is today.
