Which of the two is banning chinese cars out of fear again?

It's not out of fear, it's economic protectionism and every country on earth does it for something.

Its not fear, its just anxiety over being utterly defeated

You mean VW, even Renault is growing my guy

Also, very easy to not be "decimated" when you ban competition

Both EU and USA have huge tariffs on chinese cars. Iirc in EU is 50% and they are competitive for their price still. England doesnt and Chinese autos are selling in record numbers
