All this sub is, is Chinese bootlicking in service of advancement in technology, without regard for Chinese infiltration. Blech.

you are wide off the mark.

this is what happens when you make one country produce most of the electronics in the world and then the world pivots to electric vehicles.

Chinese companies are making EVS that conform to global auto standards for far cheaper. they are taking over the EV Market.

that's a fact.

Interesting take. Are you of the opinion that posting an article about a company implies endorsement of the country where the company is based?

In the case of China it very much is.

Past a certain size all Chinese companies need a party representative to work for them full time and we know that Chinese electronic devices built by "private companies" - are used by the Chinese government to spy on people in other countries, which lead to a company like Huawei being banned from the 5g network infrastructure in many countries.

that is a ridiculous tangent and has nothing to do with the simple fact that China is producing cheaper EVS at the same or higher global auto standards and is taking over the EV Market.

that is a separate issue from the Chinese government spying on citizens abroad.

this article is specifically about the market in China, not even foreign markets.
