I'm not aware that China can arbitrarily shut down any EVs, let alone non-Chinese EVs. Nor have I heard of the cases you mentioned of dealerships remotely locking people in their cars. That sounds like kidnapping to me.

Do you have any evidence to back either of these fairly remarkable claims?

I'm no fan of Paxton's, AT ALL. But AGs regularly bring suits against companies that have acted badly against the citizens of their state, but have not directly harmed the state. The oxycontin suit against Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, for instance.

Submission + - NSA Metadata Program Has Stopped Zero Attacks (nbcnews.com)

Submitted by Antipater on Friday December 20, 2013 @11:42AM

Antipater writes: According to a member of the White House panel that recently called for the NSA's metadata-collection program to be curtailed, that program has not stopped any terrorist actions at all. This runs counter to the stories we've heard for months, which claimed as many as fifty prevented attacks.

"Stone declined to comment on the accuracy of public statements by U.S. intelligence officials about the telephone collection program, but said that when they referred to successes they seemed to be mixing the results of domestic metadata collection with the intelligence derived from the separate, and less controversial, NSA program, known as 702, to intercept communications overseas."
