I'd be surprised if they really try to push the BYD brand in the US. I think Geely is probably taking the right approach in using brands with varying degrees of establishment (Volvo, Lotus, Polestar).

They are currently dumping their cars in the UK market and I think Parliament is considering increasing their tariffs. If they try and enter the US, best believe they will tax the shit out of them.
