FMVSS in the US would have required every single Chinese manufacturer to recall their products. Can you imagine what 600-700 arbitrary ignition events/yr taking place in your garage, airports, parking lots, recharging stations, grass lands etc., would look like in the US? Then there's this:

So to meet the mounting power demand, China approved the building of TWO new COAL powered power plants per week last year! EV's can be a useful addition to mobility if they can be made safe. Flipping the switch to go "all in" doesn't make sense in a lot of ways. Air quality might not be too spectacular in the near future.

China typically cultivates a national winner. A US domestic will never be the Chinese market leader. They pick the winners and they would never pick a US domestic, would we?
To be fair, china is the only reason Lincoln is still around
There will be over 7 million BEV sold in China, Ford maybe able to sell 1,200 units this year. It's time for Ford to get the he-l out of if you can't compete.
