They have never considered actually competing have they?
They’ve actually done the exact opposite. The lobbying, the import laws, the absence of a foreign export market, and the manufacturing of cars that would never pass safety laws anywhere else, all resulted in the kind of dogshit that Americans have to experience now. Why improve if you’re the only player
They have an export market, its the handful of douchebags in Australia that want compensator trucks instead of a ute
They do. For example here. Just not in your country.
They don’t compete here either.
They’ve stopped producing passenger cars, and the Chicken Tax means they don’t have to compete on trucks.
Big corporations know very well how competition works and would like to avoid it at all costs.

Yeah, them and Datsun. Super reliable cars when US manufacturers were ugly slow tanks that wouldn't make it 80,000 miles.
Michael Dunne has been competing the entire time, for the Chinese. His statements here aren't fear, they're shillery.
