China has been playing the long game for 30+ years. When you have actual history and strategy(and unlimited exploitable labor( you'd be amazed what you can accomplish.

China is doing exactly what other countries and corporations do to establish and compete in markets.

Let me repeat it: China is doing exactly what other countries and corporations do to establish and compete in markets.

And because it doesn't ever seem to sink in: China is doing exactly what other countries and corporations do to establish and compete in markets.

Newsflash: Sinophobia is not an economic strategy.

Edit: ""All for competition and innovation" The United States barred China from buying the latest NVIDIA chips to keep it out of AI. Typical American racist scapegoating.

I guess it's just more enticing than "maximise profits for the few even if it means the planet dying". All western auto makers can get squeezed for all I care. I'd buy their products, but they spent a decade sabotaging it and making sure it keeps spewing poison.

I have no pity for toxic companies that fought tooth and nail against EV development. The tactic works because it's taking advantage of a broken system.

That‘s a reach, if I ever saw one. China lifted more than 800 million people out of poverty, and in fact eradicated poverty at all. Last I heard, their standard of living just closely missed being in the high income countries category. Their trajectory is in complete contrast to the declining Western empire.

China is better at capitalism, because it‘s their only play to stay sovereign and overcome this predatory system completely. They have to prove to the capitalist world, that their system and long term development is superior and it‘s only beneficial for the world to follow their transition towards socialism to enable prosperity for all humankind, not just the global north. Not gonna happen under capitalism, especially not under the US or the EU.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I love how criticizing the Chinese car industry leads people to asssume I love the American one.

The US hasn't produced a decent car since the 60s. I don't even factor them into the calculation.
