Canada wants to look at joint ventures and investments with Chinese companies within the next three years to build a Canadian electric vehicle with Chinese knowledge, according to a senior Canadian official.
The official, who spoke on the condition they not be named, said the goal is for Canada to become the first country in North America to build this type of EV.
It’s a fundamental error, the official said, to think that U.S. President Donald Trump will not allow Chinese electric vehicles into the United States.
Will that include OEM surveillance tech?
I love my friends in Canada, but they will live to regret the day they let the Chinese Communist Party flood the market with their EVs! https://t.co/IW1FBl3DUh
