      China does not do altruism. Their car manufacturers are owned and subsidized by the government. They’re made to saturate and destroy markets with cheap goods, driving out the competition. Once there is no competition, they have the market to themselves and can manipulate as they see fit.

        Weird that you are confusing such discrete, almost antithetical concepts as altruism and capitalism.

        Yes, Chinese auto companies are trying to corner part of the auto market like every other car company in every country does.

        And now they’re doing it with inexpensive EVs receiving top marks in safety and manufacture, according to the top global standards.

        So you can whine about all car companies trying to sell a product(seems like a waste of time) or provide actual evidence that the safety ratings for Chinese EVs are false in some way.

        Right now you’re spewing irrelevant tangents that have nothing to do with the EV industry.

      A totalitarian government that allows slave labor, genocide and wants to invade Taiwan. Really?

          You don’t get why we shouldn’t be trading with China And instead should ge enabling our own EV manufactures ?

            So you’re pretending I’m making arguments I’m not because my comment makes you uncomfortable?

            Have at it, I’m sure you’ll come out on top by arguing with yourself.

              Your comments don’t make me uncomfortable. You just don’t seem to grasp why trading with China is bad.

                You have no basis for that accusation, you’re playing make-believe.

                It’s obviously difficult for you to engage in an honest discussion, though, so I can see why you make things up.

                  You asked why not when the answer is self evident. Have a good night.

                    You answering your own make-believe comments is as self-evident as you avoiding my question.
