There's a saying "nature abhors a vacuum". As the US retreats from global involvement, China will be more than happy to fill the void. To our great detriment.
OH PLEASE! Show us how it will hurt us. Chinese make junk imitations of our cars, to be sold in... wait for it... CHINA

Watch some of the top gear shows, one episode in particular "the boys" went to China (c2013/14?) and tested some of the cars. They said that they "looked just like BRAND HERE" and were obviously poorly cloned imitations.

Perhaps that is what Mexican market can afford.
Remember that Japanese Cars were also cheap and regarded as poor performance cars...
This right here is the point that people are missing.
U.S. automakers could staff up every single factory in the Midwest, but if the cars and trucks don't sell, what then?
Is the U.S. government going to subsidize sales in the name of protectionism?
What does this have to do with Trump and his policies ? If China wants into an automotive market, all they have to do is what the Japanese did here when they started selling vehicles here in the 60's. The government will subsidize the Chinese automakers and sell their SUV's into what ever country they can for less then anyone, not just the US automakers.
Just like all the other Chinese products. This isn't anything new. Once again proving , that unless we in the US want to live like a third world country, we can't compete on a global level. Companies where getting along fine in the 50's, selling vehicles here , and producing them here. If another country want a US auto, they paid dearly for it. Then greed kicked in and the politicians worked hand in hand with the corporations and expanded globally, both for sales and for the cheap labor.
It was not, but it was accelrated by Trump speach. Remmember that The camaping started in 2015. and since then Not a single Word out of Trump's mouth has been conciliatory to Mexico, because Trump knows that Blue Collars and Hilly Billies hate mexico.
So The deal was set up on a hunch? because in 2015 that's all it was even every reputable Poll showed Hillary Clinton as winning the election but somehow they knew it would be Trump I don't buy it.

Clinto also talked about reviewing NAFTA, as well as Sanders, somehow whoever won, the populace in USA wanted to end NAFTA.

Now that makes more sense. Regardless of Trump, Bernie or the populace, no foreign automaker is going to open a factory in the US or in the Western Hemisphere when their currently is no market for Chinese cars in the US. They are opening that plant to get a foothold in the Latin American auto market primarily.
