The recent surge in fuel prices due to the war in Iran has spurred demand for electric vehicles around the world, and Chinese car makers are making the most of the opportunity.

Sure, but they’ll be spying on you too.
What’s better? To be spied by your government that can use your data against you or the foreign government who can’t.
In an ideal world there’d be no spying, but we don’t live in one.
even if china does have your data, probably going to run scams that likely wont affect you anyways.
I mean, I agree we don’t want spying, but: a foreign government absolutely can use your data against you. Whether its creating a profile on you that could later be used against you when you enter that country, using it for statistical or targeted data for influence campaigns…there are a lot of ways.
China in particular has repeatedly deployed extra-territorial “police service stations” in at least the UK, Canada and the US to punish or harass those it’s identified as “Chinese” dissidents or sympathizers in other countries.
On the other hand, it is very unlikely that I would willingly enter either China or US, so there is that.
Honestly, China is amazing, and well worth visiting (not just Shanghai though, which is far too westernized.) Fantastic people, too.
You wouldn’t get me in the US again at gunpoint, though.
