A Chinese-owned electric vehicle manufacturer has faced a security-related ban from a major U.S. military installation in Japan, raising concerns over potential risks associated with its vehicles. The decision follows an assessment that identified vulnerabilities in the company’s technology, prompting authorities to prohibit its cars from operating on the base. Officials have cited unspecified security protocols as the reason for the restriction, marking a rare instance of foreign-made EVs being excluded from U.S. military facilities. The move underscores growing scrutiny over the integration of Chinese technology in critical infrastructure.
