In China they have an oversupply of vehicles
In the Us we have more demand than supply.
Should be easy to solve these problems. Except wait, no, we won't buy chinese cars because we want to prop up the richest dude in the world and the cars he's trying to sell us, despite the cars being outdated, 3-5x more expensive than the chinese cars, and built on a heap of lies - like full self driving supposed to be available in like 2016.

No, the US does not have unmet demand. US production slowed due to low demand.
The main US market isn't fully convinced to go EV. The early adopter segment is happy, but that's a very different group of people than the main market. Totally different circumstances, different needs, different concerns, ...
Should be easy to solve these problems.
Actually transitioning from the early adopter market to the main market is notoriously difficult. A well known and well discussed topic.

These Chinese EVs are hitting the market at $8,000-10,000 new. The cheapest EVs in the US currently are about 3 times as much with the average EVs 5-6 times higher. At those prices, the Chinese EVs would be wildly popular. They'd arguably hurt the US automakers, which is why we're not allowing them into the market today.

US manufacturers just cannot compete with China on a level playing field and need the government to interfere in the market to protect them
America previously: China, communism bad. Be more capitalist.
America now: No!!!! Not like thaaaatttt!!!

China's EV prices are not sustainable. They were made possible by government funding and shell games, hence the impending implosion of the industry. It's not unlike their real estate bubble, it's just more threatening because this time they can export their overproduction.
Not to mention the reduced safety standards, both for production facilities and the vehicles themselves.
