“A Slap in the Face”: Ford CEO Under Fire for Driving a Chinese Car
Story by Camilla Jessen • 6h

Ford CEO Jim Farley has drawn criticism for driving an electric vehicle from the Chinese tech company Xiaomi.

He has openly praised Xiaomi’s latest model, the SU7, calling it “fantastic” and admitting on a recent podcast that after six months of driving it, he would “rather not return it.”
 
But his endorsement has sparked controversy and opposition from various quarters.

Jason Isaac of the American Energy Institute is one of the most vocal critics, arguing that it’s problematic for the CEO of an American automaker to drive a Chinese electric car, especially given the substantial tax-funded subsidies Ford receives.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
