The United States launched an investigation on China -connected cars on the grounds of

The United States is investigating whether the import of Internet cars constitutes a national security risk, and take action before Chinese car companies expand to the United States.

Comprehensive Reuters and Bloomberg reported that the White House on Thursday (February 29) said that these networking cars connect to mobile phones, navigation systems, key infrastructure, and companies that manufacture them.The data is passed to the Beijing government, which is necessary to conduct investigations.

U.S. President Biden said in a statement that China is determined to dominate the future of the automotive market and adopts unfair approach.Chinese policies may make Chinese cars full of US markets and risk the national security in the United States. This situation cannot be allowed during his tenure.

Bynden said that this move was "unprecedented action" to ensure that cars from China and other countries from China would not harm national security on the United States road, and instructed the Ministry of Commerce to "take action to deal with risks."

The US Minister of Commerce Raymond said that the government is evaluating the risks before Chinese -made cars enter the United States extensively and may constitute privacy and national security threats.

But the White House officials said that it is too early to say what actions may be taken. The US government has extensive power based on law, and government actions "may have a huge impact."

The anonymous U.S. government officials say that the official has not called for ban on Chinese electric vehicles, but it may impose certain restrictions on the import of vehicles or components.

The official said that these potential restrictions may affect a series of networking cars and autonomous cars, as well as related car parts of China and other foreign opponents.

Officials said that the survey was in line with the goal of Biden's government, that is, supporting the local automotive industry in the United States while paying attention to the investment model of Chinese car companies such as BYD.This investigation is not because of a special event or other discovery, but the continuous assessment result of a threat to China.

The United States set tariffs for Chinese automobile imports at 27.5%during the Trump's administration, and the market share of Chinese car companies in the United States is quite limited.Bloomberg previously reported that the Bayeng government considered further raising tariffs, but officials were worried that relying on tariffs alone was not enough to block Chinese cars outside the country, because companies can detour third countries and open stores in Mexico and other places to avoid high tariffs.

In addition, the U.S. Manufacturing Alliance has also urged the US government to take measures to prevent the import of low -cost Chinese cars from importing from Mexico because Chinese cars may threaten the survival of American auto companies.
