I'm sorry but this argument doesn't make sense. Don't you have safety rules in the US? If the Chinese cars aren't safe to drive nobody should be authorized to drive them in the first place. If they are safe, no need for tariffs then.

This decision has absolutely nothing to do with alleged poor manufacturing quality. It's protectionism, pure and simple.
