Well here I am currently watching the 2023 Guangzhou Autoshow on youtube and I am amazed at the quality of the evs at the show. I am also in awe how fast China is electrifying their auto fleet.

BYD surpassed Ford in total sales earlier this year and they only sold 500,000 car in 2019. BYD also said this: demolish the old legends

BYD, Xpeng, Nio, MG, Geely, GAC are all expanding rapidly into South America, Europe and South East Asia.

These companies are topping the sales charts in the South East Asian markets.

Kia Australia boss says Chinese car brands will be in top five shortly.

I’m kind of concerned for our current auto brands dragging their feet.

    Better to just say that the US is pretty staunchly anti-Chinese, due to the competition for hegemony. Europe, SA, etc do not care so much as they are more globalized so things are more quick to catch on.
