Sen. Slotkin and Congresswoman Stevens discuss the ban they’re seeking on Chinese vehicles
We’re taking a step to address the national security consideration with Chinese technologies and automobiles, and also the economic point of this.”
“We’re gonna be aggressive, here, because Michigan jobs are on the line, but also so is national security. So, close our border to Chinese vehicles and Chinese technology in the vehicles, even for day trips. That’s how aggressive we believe we need to be right now.”
“I’ve spoken to the Canadian Ambassador about the need for us to protect our borders, codify trade rules and laws so that we aren’t exploited. Because what China does is they exploit the free market at the expense of all of our jobs. They do not play by the rules; they never have.”
Senator Slotkin: “They can certainly come across the border, drive up to Selfridge Air Force base, take some video with the car. The car is a traveling surveillance package, right. And all of that data that the car is collecting is being sent straight back to Beijing.”
