This was in my feed this morning relating to the shift in balance towards Chinese tech.

Clearly it's been more successful on the the road side so far. I assume that is because road geometry is more settled and there's not the rear suspension R&D issues.
The article only really touches on the possibility of low entry point leading to ultimate monopolisation or a shifting of dominance of the market from USA to China, which is maybe a problem/change for the future and other than tariffs it's hard to see how the USA can meaningfully respond in the short term when it's outsourced both the physical production and the expertise for 20+ years.
It's interesting looking at it alongside the Chinese EV and HEV market where the assumption is that vehicles are currently being priced at a loss for market share/brand recognition/dominance over margin (I can understand they will be cheaper but THAT much cheaper seems unlikely).
Despite the Temu Range Rover type tags they are becoming increasingly evident as a sector of the market prioritise tech and new vs brand and reputation.
