"In February, the White House said the US was opening an investigation into whether Chinese cars pose a national security risk."

Again, a claim for "national security risk".

Reality: it's blatant protectionism.

China is Tesla's 2nd largest market.

That's the direct comparison here, in the same industry. More broadly, China is a massive market for American companies, especially in the tech sector.
