    Yeah how do you think it’s the cheapest? They have the most clever engineering methods or something?

    No. It’s cheap material, cheap labor, concessions on everything.

      Actually the materials and quality are comparable to what you get from Western automakers, the difference in labor price is because Western countries keep their currencies strong in order to import things from countries like China where the currency is weak. Changing that dynamic would threaten the entire system of unequal exchange that benefits Western nations.

      Your comment reads super racist, implying that for some reason China can’t possibly have more clever engineering methods. As a matter of fact it does have said methods. The latest technology in battery manufacturing comes from china, and they have the most mature EV industry in the world.

          How is this not racistly dismissive of the possibilities of Chinese manufacturing (China being the most industrially productive country in the planet)
