The Chinese EV industry is overdue for consolidation. There are too many players chasing too few customers. This could be done in a relatively orderly fashion that leaves a few big players that are internationally competitive. Or they can keep kicking the can down the road and hope for the best, until the inevitable collapse. Gee, I wonder which option they’ll choose.
If it walks like fascism, quacks like fascism…
Yet another pointless conflict that only exists to stroke the egos of authoritarian leaders and distract from their own domestic failures.
It took me over a year too. I was using a mini PC with Mint but still kept my old Windows PC under my desk. When I built a new PC, it never got defiled, though.

I’m still waiting and I’m getting increasingly pessimistic I’ll live to see that.

This sort of thing has always been standard practice in the automotive industry. The point is, this won’t work to paper over the cracks in China with their massive oversupply.
