evidence: We know the threat that China poses to our national security and our economy. The Chinese Communist Party steals trade secrets from our companies, buys up sensitive land around our military bases, and is always working to find new ways to gather information about us that they can leverage to get ahead. [...] If those vehicles are made by adversaries like China, they offer direct access to Americans’ sensitive personal data and information about critical U.S. infrastructure. China has already banned American-made connected vehicles from operating close to their military bases, government buildings, and sensitive infrastructure – making it clear how they intend to use Chinese connected vehicles in the U.S. Think about it: if one of these Chinese connected cars were to drive by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Glenn Research Center, Youngstown Air Reserve Station, or Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base, the Chinese Communist Party could use a connected car to listen into private conversations, transmit sensitive data, or gather intelligence – without the American driver ever realizing it.
