Statement: The Detroit Regional Chamber and MichAuto Applaud the Bipartisan Bill to Ban Vehicles Made by Chinese Companies and Protect the American Automotive Industry

“Senators Slotkin and Moreno deserve credit for tackling this complicated issue in a bipartisan fashion that reflects the urgency of the situation. Taking action to protect our domestic automotive industry from vehicles made by Chinese companies is especially critical for Michigan as well as all those Americans whose livelihoods, companies, and communities depend on it. Certainly, at this early stage, many may find fault in some aspects of this legislation, but the Chamber and MichAuto applaud the direction and will support the effort as it weaves its way through the legislative process.” 

– Sandy K. Baruah, President and Chief Executive Officer, Detroit Regional Chamber; Glenn Stevens Jr., Executive Director of MichAuto, Chief Automotive and Innovation Officer, Detroit Regional Chamber
