European auto makers have massive sales in the US as do Chinese manufacturers of all sorts of things.
Given the proclivity of China to use their IT skills for all sorts of shenanigans, noted in the news daily, it's beyond reasonable for Western nations to be concerned about having a government backed entity 'in between' all of the most important information in the country.
You don't understand. There are no "western nations" anymore. It's America First and everyone for themselves. Strong competitors are now a national security issue regardless if we are talking about Mercedes, Huawei or french cheese. Say good-bye to fair competition(if there was ever a such thing).
There is nothing conspirational. It's the new foreign policy.
China appers in the news b/c it's still the clumsy underdog. U.S has done the hacking and all the spy stuff for decades.

This is an issue that has to be worked out.
