Canada "absolutely" considering following US lead in banning Chinese auto software: Freela

On Tuesday, when asked if Canada was considering following the United States' lead on banning Chinese software from all vehicles, Freeland said, “The short answer is – absolutely.” "Our government has made very clear that we take really seriously intentional Chinese overcapacity and we take very seriously the security threat from China. That's why we acted decisively in imposing tariffs on Chinese EVs, on Chinese steel, on Chinese aluminum," Freeland said. This comes after the U.S. government's proposal to ban key Chinese software and hardware in connected vehicles on American roads over national security concerns, as announced by the White House on Monday. The move is part of the Biden administration's crackdown on China's automotive industry and is intended to effectively prevent Chinese cars from entering the U.S. market.
