The news that Chinese electric-car company BYD had overtaken Tesla as the world’s top EV maker came, appropriately enough, just as the Year of the Dragon got underway.

Yet as BYD gobbles up global market share, America should beware the three heads of this dragon—spying on Americans, potentially disabling U.S. vehicles on the road, and undercutting the domestic EV industry.

The Chinese Communist Party controls all major Chinese companies, and America should not join the global rush to give the CCP power over a vital economic sector. Indeed, America should ban the sale of Chinese EVs—both those made in China and those made in other countries such as Mexico.
