Moolenaar: Ford Should Work With Our Allies, Not Our Adversaries

Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar made the following statement on media reports that Ford is pursuing a partnership with Chinese automaker BYD:

"If reports that Ford is in discussions to potentially partner with a second Chinese battery company were to come true, it would diminish Ford’s status as an iconic American company. China has already shown in recent months that it will weaponize the auto supply chain. This is a serious vulnerability and it would only get worse if Ford enters into a new partnership with BYD. Ford should work with our nation’s allies, not our adversaries."
