China’s $10,000 cars will demolish our companies- why not force them to partner up with our domestic companies like the way they did to us?

Sorry but I can’t find an AMA for electric vehicle subreddits. So, I am going to ask here.

I get it. Their technology is real good. And their products will be sold at an uncompetitive pricing here in the US. China’s electric cars will essentially demolish our companies starting 2025.

But instead of a straight trade tariff barrier, why don’t we just force them to partner up with our domestic companies (49%China-51%domestic) and manufacture some part of their vehicles here? We can have such policies at least until we have learned all their technological knowledge (just like what they did with our auto makers). Also, the domestic partners will jack up the prices from $10,000 to a more competitive pricing.

I mean, being able to build cars and trucks is a national security thing so I can understand the protectionism on that level. It just sucks for consumers.
