Because we’re better than that?China does not care about US Companies patents in their country so why should we care about their patents here in the US.
Even if we didn’t care about their patents, they control the natural resources right now. Their labor is cheaper. And, they’ve been developing batteries for far longer and been able to test them within China as well as other countries.
Their quality and quality control isn’t actually terrible across the board. It’s more so that they are only willing to make a product that is as good as the money it’s sold for.
We can point to Tesla being forced to recall cars in China for quality but yet those same cars have been perfectly acceptable in the US. They can demand quality when they want. It’s just that they’re also willing to sell us the cheapest thing they can make because…well we want the $10 thing for $1 and they’re willing to make us a $1 thing that sort of..maybe..could pretend to be the $10 thing for the next 10 seconds.
