The transition

I hate videos like this.
They take stock footage and overlay their narrative to appear as the video is authentic.
Though mentioned... The government subsidy/support of BYD is an enormous advantage for any company and the fact that that's how the PRC operates in all markets makes the entire revelation pretty much moot.


A wake up call was/is needed... but it's been known for decades.
Mentioned several times now. China is playing the long game. Period.

2025 was Tesla's best California sales year. Now they are down to about 14,000 per month. I recall the Detroit bailout of 2009. Another thing, Billionaires here are more foreign to me than people in China. I talk to people in China about two or three times a week. I have never spoken to a 'domestic' Billionaire.

darn straight,most forget the bailouts the gov't did for the two companies(Ford apparently didn't need the bailout money,going by that we should as taxpayers get a consideration when we want to buy Ram and gm junk.

A bailout is not the same as continuous government support, influence and investment. Often scale is forgotten when making correlations.

Additionally over 85% of the automakers bailouts were paid back with some portions at a government profit.

I will say this at inception,FoMoCo (Henry) had this vertical intregration to a large degree.
Darwin found a butterfly with a certain long tongue. He said, there is surely a corresponding flower. The flower was discovered much later. The system as with the sample car is not found in isolation. It is part of an ecosystem that produced it. One can copy the butterfly, but without the entire tropical ecosystem that produced it, it will not fly forward.
