The US government is effectively banning Chinese-made cars from its roads. Some in Australia want the government to take notice

The federal government says it is in contact with the US about the new moves it has put up against Chinese car companies.

The federal government is facing calls to respond to an effective ban on Chinese carmakers in the US with moves of its own.

Auto industry experts say any moves would be complicated, and risk slowing the pace of Australia’s transition to electric vehicles.

The Albanese government says it is “closely monitoring” the moves in the US, and is in talks with the Biden administration about any local implications.

    you forgot one more option, penalties companies which force workers to commute on jobs which not requite personal presence. It will improve public transport and reduce car usage a lot. It will also make small business to move away from cities to places where people lives.

      You are right, but I did not forget. Walkable cities also includes decentralised workplaces. Whether that means WFH, or local satellite offices or colocated workspaces, they all decrease commute and increase worker satisfaction. The only businesses that still benefit from monolithic workplaces would be high security and vanity businesses.
