If trade barriers were removed, Chinese automakers could capture as much as 11% of the U.S. car market, according to an industry expert. The argument rests on China’s manufacturing scale, aggressive pricing and strong push into electric vehicles.

For Europe, the warning is relevant too: Chinese brands are already reshaping pricing, competition and investment plans. In Italy, where EV adoption is still uneven, the pressure on list prices and profit margins could rise even without a direct U.S. breakthrough.
