In this one instance, yes.
I just found this post after scrolling down from an article about the PRC banning those stupid retractable car door handles that Tesla started, so that's at least two.
They also do much better than the USA at addressing homelessness and most provinces regularly raise their minimum wage tied to the cost of living. They also are the world leader in expansion of green energy and public transportation
Genuinely curious, is there something wrong with them, or are they just mad they can't replicate it as nicely?
You mean besides being a death trap?
Mostly because flush electronic door handles aren't as safe or reliable as non-retractable handles. They fail more often than their mechanical counterparts, especially in emergencies like crashes and fire.
You know how normal handles are a pain to open if they ice over, because you have to pull really hard to break the ice? What if you just couldn't open them at all because the tiny motor isn't strong enough to give you something to grip?
So we can start car engines with the push of a remote button, we can open car windows with remotes, but doors are an issue? Are we absolutely sure we're evolving in the right direction?
If your windows don't open, you don't burn to death when the stored energy equivalent of a couple hundred sticks of dynamite under you catches fire. Doors should ABSOLUTELY be obvious, direct, mechanical and reliable, and it's INSANE we even have to have this discussion in 2026. This is Engineering 101 stuff.
Chinese EVs have a lot of friction entering new markets like EU so they can't afford an obvious failure point that Pedon thinks he may get through with. They want to sell millions of cars and a possible scrutiny based on an arbitrary design decision is not a part they'd want in their plan. Being marked death traps, not by a model or manufacturer but as a producing country as a whole gonna hurt them a lot.
And in many others.
Sure buddy…
i just hate that is such a corrupt government, that people have no rights, that there's a credit score that says if you're allowed to own a home, that they can execute you in the streets, that they are trying to disappear ethnic minorities, no workers rights, no freedom of speech, their media is controlled by government cronnies, but enough talking about USA, what about big scary China?
Way too many libs are gonna read the first half of your comment and unironically agree with you 🤣
i don't have the right to leave my home or I might disappear
