You could do the same thing to any car thats hooked up to your phone through bluetooth, its not like OEMs are known for their security of their vehicle electrical networks.
Wait until you learn how vulnerable industrial electrical platform SCADA is to an over the air attack through the internet and you'll shit bricks when you realise how much of our critical infrastructure like water/sewer/power uses these systems and is hooked up to the internet for remote control purposes.
Forget about bricking your Chinese EV, wait until they dump all the chemicals from the chemical treatment plant into the local water supply once the control side of it is compromised over the internet.
It happened in the US last year in Texas, they compromised SCADA at water infrastructure plant and made tanks overflow, Ukraine did it to a Russian power plant, as well as Russia doing it to Ukraine in the opening days of their invasion to shut off critical infrastructure right before they carried out strikes on Ukrainian critical infrastructure.
You could open the weir gates on a dam, dump chemicals from the chemical treatment into the water supply, cause sewerage overflows and all sorts of dramas.
