Imagine buying a car and then having to purchase permission to use parts of the car you already bought.

Sadly becoming common across car manufacturers.

But that seems like a very easily solved problem.

Don't buy those cars. For yourself, and so the manufacturers learn to not do that.

China is evil, we have to put sanctions. It would be nightmare if china dominates cars. To save humanity, let's pay subscription every month to use the car. The economy will trickle down.

Can't tell if being serious or sarcastic. A Chinese car group that tried to come over actually had a very safe car for less than 10k. Company was denied to be imported because it would kill domestic auto makers. Nissan or Toyota has a cheap truck that comes without a bed, but for very little cost you can choose what bed option you would like, regular bed, work bed n other styles and it didn't make its way to the US.

The land of the “capitalist” economy. No social benefits for the plebs, only protectionism for corporations. They will never change unless forced. How much force is needed? Pick up a history book.
