    Evidently you are not big on stats, mate:

    Here's the global car manufacturing countries in 2023:

    While many of our commercial vehicles come from Thailand including
    Toyotas & Mitsubishis , that's because the Japanese majors set up manufacturing there
    before China got on its feet in auto manufacturing (FYI that was because auto manufacturing
    featured in China's "Made in China 2025" & released in 2015).

    Due to US crippling import tariffs being imposed this year by both the USA & EU
    on Chinese EVs, China's leading EV manufacturers are now planning to manufacture in the EC
    (Hungary & France) and in the USA . The big question is what %age of Chinese parts will be allowed
    in these EVs? At present up to 20% of parts going into current US car manufacture is ex China
    (Trump discovered that by exempting these parts from Trump Tariffs)

    The chart below is for FY 2018. Chinese parts/components exports to the USA have increased since then
