    And that’s why pure capitalism will destroy us peons.

    It’s a run to the bottom, no exceptions.

    I am no communist or such, but anything left unregulated and uncontrolled will lead to destruction.

    That’s the trust I have on pure and uncontrolled human behaviour.

    Tariffs? Maybe export labour laws instead of exporting democracy? Maybe even better, export human rights so that the race to the bottom actually has a decent and ethnically acceptable bottom?

      Just to be devil’s advocate BYD will be subjected to the same regulations for safety with any other car that’s being sold in the US. It won’t be unregulated or uncontrolled. Why not let BYD stir the market so other car company won’t focus on maximum profit from monopoly.
