Dealers face prospect of Chinese autos: ‘Eventually you’ll get them’

U.S. auto dealers are increasingly wary of a possible industry shakeup ahead: Chinese vehicles entering the American market.

They have seen the signs. Chinese automakers showed off their electric vehicles at a January tech gathering in Las Vegas, with one company saying it planned to announce a U.S. production expansion within a couple of years. Just days later, President Donald Trump came to Detroit and indicated he was open to letting Chinese manufacturers open factories here.
