It means that Polestar's ultimate owner is a state-aligned Chinese conglomerate.

The devs, in the UK or not, will do what it tells them to do.

Volvo's ultimate owner is the same state-aligned Chinese conglomerate.

The question isn't "why ban Polestar", it is "why ban Polestar without banning Volvo". They are both headquartered in Sweden, they are both owned by the same conglomerate, and they are often even both manufactured in the same factories. So what makes them different enough to warrant banning only one of them?
