The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a group representing major automakers including Hyundai, urged the U.S. Congress on 2026-09-03 to pass legislation banning Chinese vehicles from the U.S. market before the end of the year. ^[1] The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, representing General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Honda, and Stellantis, called for quick action from Congress. ^[2] Bozzella stated in the same letter that this dumping has not yet occurred inside the U.S., but urged Congress to enact a ban before adjourning this year. ^[3] The push for a ban on Chinese vehicles is driven by concerns over national security and competition. ^[4] The Senate Commerce Committee approved a bill in July 2026 to strengthen the government ban on Chinese auto manufacturers entering the US market. ^[5] Bozzella claimed that China is capturing market share in Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia, Mexico, and South America with vehicles capable of collecting, processing, and transmitting sensitive vehicle and consumer data to the Chinese Communist Party. ^[6] John Bozzella argued for ending the sale, import, and manufacture of Chinese connected vehicles, hardware, and software due to a pattern of unfair trade, subsidies, and intellectual property theft. ^[7] The Chinese embassy opposed US efforts to ban Chinese vehicle exports but did not make immediate comments. ^[8] The bill approved by the Senate Commerce Committee still faces obstacles for final approval. ^[9]
