The regulatory environment in the US makes it much harder to sell vehicles in the US than in Europe.
But, if Chinese manufacturers are willing to put in the effort, they can satisfy the regulations.
I have almost zero faith in the willingness of domestic automakers to make the kind of vehicles people need. Perhaps an existential crisis will force them to.

In the end, the Japanese manufacturers found that building factories in the US and filling them with US workers was way better than shipping cars from Japan. You have to wonder if the Chinese manufacturers would come to the same conclusion.
