US military bans BYD vehicles at Japan's Kadena airbase

The US military has banned all vehicles made by Chinese EV maker BYD from Kadena airbase in Okinawa, calling them an 'unacceptable and unmitigable risk' to personnel and the mission. The ban covers private cars, taxis and delivery vehicles, with gate guards told to turn drivers away. It has fuelled speculation that other US bases could follow.
