Hyundai’s top executive warns that Chinese cars could become a dominant presence in the United States as well, just as they have in Europe, if Washington does not introduce tougher limits. The concern, he says, is a fast expansion driven by aggressive pricing and a strong push into electric vehicles.
For Western manufacturers, the issue is not only commercial but strategic: tariffs, incentives and market-access rules are all part of a battle that could reshape the industry’s balance, including for European and Japanese brands.
