Biden Administration Proposes Ban on Chinese Car Tech Over Security Concerns

The U.S. Commerce Department's proposed rules would prohibit Chinese software by 2027 and hardware by 2030, aiming to protect national security and American automakers.

The proposed ban targets Chinese software and hardware in internet-connected and autonomous vehicles, citing national security risks.
The rules would apply to all vehicles on U.S. public roads, including trucks and buses, but exclude agricultural and mining vehicles.
The Biden administration's move follows previous measures like 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs and denying subsidies for vehicles with Chinese components.
Canada is considering similar regulations, reflecting a coordinated North American stance against Chinese automotive technology.
Chinese officials have condemned the proposal as protectionist and warned of potential retaliatory measures impacting U.S. businesses in China.
