There’s a difference between made by and controlled by though. Apple is not a Chinese company, although the phones are made there, they're not beholden to do what china wants. China can’t say “turn off every iPhone in North America” and have it happen.
With a Chinese owned and operated company that can absolutely happen. If they don’t do what the government wants they or their families are put in jail or killed. “Shut off every car in Canada and the US”!
Click.
You get to walk. Or maybe the order is to overload and blow up the battery packs.
Even the Chinese government is wary of US based manufactures having their cars near sensitive areas because of all the cameras. Tesla had to ensure that all the data was stored in and didn't leave a facility based in China before they allowed the cars to be in those areas.
It's a legit problem for every country. It's possible other countries might require the same.
Hun? What are you talking about sensitive areas? Where did that come from?
The conversation was concerns about what China can do to the cars, but China is also concerned about what other manufactures can do with their cars. The concern goes both ways, it's not just the west afraid of china. The concern about these highly connected cars is legitimate for everyone on both sides.

I believe now that Tesla stores the data in China that some of that has been relaxed.
