Oh the IP theft is happening anyway. But no, in their infinite wisdom, non-Chinese automakers oppose taxes and tariffs on Chinese dumping EVs because they fear retaliation against their China sales (such a big growing market!).

It will probably not be in the nature of obvious import tariffs, but it will happen.
