The governments of the State of Oregon and the City of Portland, OR is doing everything it can to try and win over the ChiComs and get them to put their North American HQ in their downtown Zip Code.
Oregonian politicians, including Governor Ted Kulongoski, have met with BYD Auto representatives in a bid to persuade the Chinese automaker to use Portland, Oregon as a home for its North American headquarters, distribution hub, and possibly even a site for vehicle manufacturing. Eventually. For now, BYD wants to sell its hybrid and electric cars in North America and is casting about for a place to set up shop to accomplish that.
As has been told here before, Chinese cars are death machines, seemingly only created to kill citizens of the west before an invasion at some future date leads to the People’s Army having to use projectile weapons on them.
