why is it racist to worry about a somewhat adversarial authoritarian nation state having the capability to disrupt life in the U.K.? I also cannot read the whole article, but you'll note that the article isn't about Taiwanese cars, or for that matter Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese cars.

Manufacturers of Chinese cars.
Those companies tend to be owned by the Chinese Communist Party. Or not, it doesn't really matter in China. The party calls the shots anyway.
