Having manufacturing jobs for the working class is good actually. Also we never really outsourced car assembly outside of Europe, most European manufacturers just moved their cheap cars to be built in Eastern Europe

Its just assembly is the basest form of industrialization third world shitholes get cause they don't have anything for upstream production all they have is cheap labour and now Europe is getting assembly plants Its just a symbol of being totally economically subservient. I mean toyota etc have foreign plants but they genuinely build the whole car there they don't have an assembly line of coolies screwdriving together prefabricated parts. I don't think assembly even gets the tax exemption here, that's why all the foreign ICE makers set up India plants. It shouldn't, it'd be a minute part of value addition. If you're going to put up tariffs to your market don't bend the knee at assembly lmao.

I mean they'd be stupid to but they're welcome to only do assembly here if they want. The only Chinese manufacturers with presence here already are Geely and SAIC who do engineering and low volume production here. Reading the interview with the Omoda boss he talks about the links between the industry and universities here being a key factor so I don't think they're just after people to screw on doors.
Edit: losing assembly rather than engineering to cheaper economies has been the issue here anyway so even of it is only an assembly plant that would be fine tbh. If you're an automotive engineer you've got a huge selection of companies to work for here already
