The U.S. has used tariffs and security rules to keep Chinese cars off dealer lots. Alphabet’s robotaxi company appears to be buying them by the boatload.
Why would China want you to have a car that doesn’t send data back?
I mean neither would any other manufacturer, but with China you just know the government probably requires all that surveillance tech be added. Like voice control microphones on the OUTSIDE of some new Chinese cars. Why else would you have that?
Why don’t Chinese manufacturers do the same? Sell cars without connectivity, make updates or whatever available on a website.

Great question.
