The conclusion in your 2000 word copy and paste summary looks exactly like a Chinese built procduct that I described in my 1st post.

Negotiating leverage with China. Giving China more options for increasing their market share in other countries decreases our leverage in current Negotiations with China. It's not that complicated

If there is such a huge market opportunity from a US standpoint why hasn’t a US manufacturer targeted that market?
1. Cost 2. Manufacturing 3. No domestic interest. It would cost more than its MSRP to export. Another cost is manufacturing to build right side driving and assembly lines then ran by union employees. None of these cars would be of interest to the US consumer due to small size and basic functionality. Same reason of what I’ve always told you that these cars (China EV’s) will never penetrate our market because they are gremlins and won’t meet our safety standards and premium components , which also costs money. It’s also ridiculous to target a market where a product won’t even sell in the domestic market.

Are you even reading my post? This has nothing to do with US manufacturers selling cars in Japan. It has to do with Japan giving China the opportunity to sell their Mini Cars in Japan which weakens our negotiating leverage with China on a new trade deal. When China has other options to sell their products in new markets it decreases America's leverage in negotiations. This is the worst possible time to be giving China access to new markets when we our trying to negotiate a trade deal with them. Hopefully you actually read my post this time

I have read your posts. What’s the alternative? You really expect Japan not to sell Chinese cars? Come on man.

The Mini-Car market in Japan accounts for 40% of Japan auto sales and China did not have access before. Why give them access now when we are trying to negotiate a new trade deal with China? The timing makes no sense and hurts our leverage in negotiations with China. If I was Pro China like some of you falsely accuse me of then I would not be complaining about this. Seems like some of you guys are Ok with China winning this Trade War and are already folding to these Chinese Commies

This is a head in the same post. Where we actually wish your head was in the sand and your dumb life would finally end.

BYD/China doesn’t care about intellectual property. Anything Tesla does they will steal and make it cheaper. Right now they have a cheaper and faster charging EV. It takes 5 minutes to add 250 miles for a BYD. It takes around 15 minutes to add 170 miles for a Tesla

Why would you be dumb enough to believe this?
