Let us be very clear
Chinese-made electric vehicles are, in effect, full-scale computers on wheels, powered by Chinese-made chips and integrated digital systems. These vehicles are designed to collect and transmit vast amounts of data, receive remote software updates from China, and remain continuously connected through Chinese satellite and communications infrastructure.
This represents yet another pathway through which the Chinese Communist Party can extend its influence and control—posing serious risks to Canada’s digital sovereignty, data security, and long-term national autonomy.
Any data we consent to provide to CCP-led China—an authoritarian state—will ultimately feed a hostile power and may come back to haunt us in the future.
