I know you're being facetious, but the goal is to protect the automotive industry which has higher costs and safety standards compared to Chinese factories and to encourage these manufacturers to set up local factories to create jobs.

as long as safety standards match, I don't think we should slap them with high tariffs. If we start protecting car industry, we all know the consequences. There is a reason why many people prefer toyota over American brand car.
