    Ford stopped making cars because they can’t compete with the current crop of cars coming from Japan/Korea and Europe regardless of how much money they throw at the problem. They have their niche with trucks and SUVs and are happy to stay there. China builds cars using massive government subsidies, slave labor, and local resources that aren’t available to anyone else in the world which is why I think it’s right to fight against them because it’s impossible to compete against them just like a small local grocery store can’t compete against Walmart.

      Why are Japanese and Korean cars also better/cheaper than American cars then?

      Slave labor

      Massive government subsidies

      The US doesn’t massively subsidise auto-makers?
