Republicans criticize Ford's Chinese links
The U.S. government has criticized Ford over its business ties with Chinese companies. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg issued strong warnings to the automaker, expressing concern about its reliance on Chinese firms such as CATL, Geely, and BYD. Buttigieg expressed worry that Ford's dealings with Chinese battery manufacturer CATL, which is listed among companies accused of connections to the Chinese military, pose security risks. He also criticized Ford's decision not to move the production of the Lincoln Nautilus from China to the United States before 2030, arguing that this prolongs the company's dependence on Chinese manufacturing for several more years. Although Ford responded by stating that it is investing in building battery plants within the U.S. and that it maintains control over its operations, the U.S. political pressure to tighten restrictions on Chinese cars remains high. This comes at a time when a meeting between American and Chinese leaders is expected later this month.
