You should worry a ton about the kind of spying which could be embedded in their cars, or terrible security like the UK found in Huawei phone masts.
Lol ok the U.S. is mandating cars have remote shutdown and cameras the watch you while you drive, and the ALPRs already track you everywhere. I'd rather the CCP have my data than any private U.S. company.
How much worse could it be than most cars already being sold? Will they also be selling my driving habits to insurance companies?
Isn’t every part of their auto industry heavily subsidized?
Yes, just like the auto industry in the United States. The only difference is that the state also directs their companies to do good things rather than just bailing them out.
They are doing something though, it's called long term planning.
It annoys me so much that the western world has stopped doing it and is just thinking short term.
They're actually doing everything.
