The Alliance for Automotive Innovation sent a letter to congressional leaders on Thursday requesting a permanent ban on Chinese vehicles in the United States before the current session ends. [^3]

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. [^4]

The push for a ban on Chinese vehicles is driven by concerns over national security and competition. [^5]

Bozzella warned that connected Chinese vehicles could collect and transmit sensitive information about vehicles and their users to Chinese authorities. [^6]

Bipartisan bills in the Senate and House would bar automakers with more than 15% Chinese ownership from selling vehicles in the US. [^7]

Bozzella addressed the letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), urging them to back the ban before the 119th Congress concludes in January. [^8]

John Bozzella, CEO and president of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, described in the letter China's manufacturing industry as 'rooted in a well-documented pattern of unfair trade, subsidies, intellectual property theft and surveillance.' [^9]

A 2025 Consumer Reports investigation found that nearly every automaker collects and shares data on driver behavior. [^10]
