Thats a good attitude, try it when they are evaluating you for reeducation or just execution.

You mean like the reeducation in the USA during the last administration

... men can have babies

... must use these pronouns, or fail in school or get fired from job

... must have experimental drugs injected into your body to continue working your job or attending school / Uni

And improve on. 
 

BYD has surpassed Tesla in global electric vehicle sales, becoming the world's top seller in 2024 and holding that position for four consecutive quarters, largely due to pricing and better quality.

 

Motor vehicles were invented in Europe.

 

The yanks copied us also.

 

All good as long as we have cheaper and better.

 

 

 

 

Chinese have a great business model ...... kinda like termites .

 

You don't really pay any attention or suspect anything ..... then one day you wake up and ask 

"Honey,   did you see where the floor went ?"

Reading comprehension ... 'providing affordable'.   Our solar system would cost 3X in the USA, and our very affordable BEV isn't even available in the USA.  If they were, without silly tariffs, the USA auto market would crash, as they simply can't compete.   Still selling their overpriced and underperforming crap to ignorant drivers that simply don't know any better.

 

MG S5 sells for 700k THB / <$22K USD here, w/ 1 yr ins, 5 yr free road service & lifetime battery warranty.   What underperforming POS do you get in the USA for $22k.   TH even has a countrywide CS network when O&A.

 

Here's the POS available in USA, and probably don't include taxes & dealer prep fees.  Mitsubishi Mirage sells in TH for 509k THB / $15,565, all in, w/ 1 yr free ins.

 

Mitsubishi mirage was phased out in Australia 5 years ago. Couldn't meet side impact standards.

No, tell me which foreign country the Chinese have been killing people in?

They have been building up their military over the last few years, probably because they don’t want to end up like Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza, Ukraine or Syria.

 

Cant blame them for that.

Tibet?

Was that before or after Australia killed their own automotive industry?

Well before, in the 1990's I think.
