China Goes Trump, Bans 553 Cars From Production Overnight

China will end the production of 553 passenger-car models that don’t meet fuel-consumption limits amid efforts by the nation to curb pollution.

The halt in production will begin Jan. 1, the China Vehicle Technology Service Center said in a statement Thursday. Models include FAW VW’s Audi FV7145LCDBG sedan, Beijing Benz’s Benz BJ7302ETAL2 sedan and Shanghai GM’s Chevrolet SGM7161DAA2 sedan.

Do not see how this action can be related to Trump. Maybe taking exec actions, though Obama was known to impose exec orders to presumably protect the environment.

So Trump is all in on climate now? Did I miss a Tweet or something?

Yes you did. Trump said some people needed some global warming. I'm actually someone hasn't written an essay on it yet...YET.

China bans production of excessively polluting vehicles. Trump cancels climate change research, starts dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency, and gives National Monuments lands to uranium mines.

Yeah, same thing :-/

One party rule. No corporate donations. Trying to keep 1.3B people from revolting in the streets because they can't see the hand in front of them due to smog. They make the rules, so play along if you want to sell cars in China.

China is dead set about cleaning up the air there. Too late for all the water bodies which is a shame as it is all contaminated and I am concerned about my girlfriends family in Shanghai with the air quality and lung cancer epedemic.

I was thinking about opening a factory down in Ningbo but I am too concerned that my place and every other industrial factory/parts suppliers could be permanently closed or for an extended period of time so I will seek other jurisdictions as I can't have disruptions in my output as that upon itself is a death sentence.

I am so tired of politics being injected into car magazines, sports, entertainment, this site and others! Give me a freak'n break and let us have some respite from the constant wailing, hatred and divisiveness please. Can't we car enthusiasts all get along and leave politics to the voting booth.
