China banning Teslas cars

[Oliver Hardy]

What is being said in the video is that some parts of China are banning Tesla cars

What I don't get is why are Ford cars not banned for example or GM, I presume they are sold there?

perhaps watch the article you posted? They are suggesting it’s because of the high level of audio and video surveillance built it to them being potentially used for espionage. So they are being banned from certain areas.

This is possibly the fastest self-own I've ever seen on PH. Two messages - brilliant.

I used to love his channel when he lived in China (it was ADVChina back then) as it showed the good and bad of life in China, not just in the big cities. But now his channel (along with the other guy from ADVChina, laowhy86) is just clickbait "China bad".
I'm no fan of the way China acts around the world but this alarmist nonsense isn't helping anyone.

But don't other car manufactures use the same type of technology?

So what is click bait nonsense about this video, you saying it is not true about Taslas being banned from some places?

That is how pretty much all media works though.

The US and other countries are restricting Chinese tech because it sends data home.

Seems entirely logical China would do the same in reverse
