Of course, they're in Tijuana, BC and I'm south of the 8 in San Diego. Actually, my Hyundai Dealer started in TJ, and one of the 3 dealers in TJ belongs to his cross border Auto sales and Electronics group.
I'll keep an eye out for one. Lots of Americans live in TJ (because it's cheaper,) and I see a lot of Baja plates on some really nice cars around here, and unless they're going to be really, really specific about no totally Chinese cars in the US (fat chance, that - there's a couple Aussie car brands that are joint venture with China that are "hecho y vente" - made and sold in Mexico...

Are they going to buy Chinese built Teslas? The ones they sell in TJ are most likely not US made.
BYD has a really nice looking Hybrid, too. Stylistically, the brand looks rather like Mitsubishis.

Crowdstrike
VMWare

I'd list Lockheed, Raytheon, etc... but those are no brainers.

Any materials, media and film critical of the Chinese Communist Party.

Just a handful of companies with products banned from sale or import into China over national security concerns related to all types of electronics and software, and products containing them.

It happens when you plug everything into the internet because "Cool!" You can make everything a potential weapon, snitch or distraction. Tech cuts both ways, I guess.

Of course, economically, I wouldn't risk a theoretical 15% of domestic auto sales trying to be the bigger man. We'd do better to build "the future of electric vehicles" here since Ford and everyone already built the plants.

I'd rather kick Trump out and get US production going again than let China in to fill the void.

so car industry. And I haven't read the proposed legislation - but if it is as purported, banning cars driving across the border for temporary stays seems a bit extreme.

There's little reason to not be tough on trade with China. They are not good faith partners. The dumb thing is being tough on trade with everyone and driving countries to trade with China instead.
