Every car company in the world has to sell to China to survive because it's the largest car market in the world. That's why they have to follow "Chinese standards". You think Chinese are going to buy the American Big Three EVs? The all mighty problem the West has in general over all things is everything they do cost more for them to do every step of the way. American workers aren't going to voluntarily be paid less to get the price down. The only solution left to get past Western costs and politics is to have "every step of the way" done in China just like how Tesla nearly sells all its exported EVs made in China for the rest of the world and not for the US. And his Shanghai factory makes more money for him than any of his others.

In 1999, I was buying a small hammer in LA at Pic 'N' Save, and I overheard a father tell his son that China made quality goods. It made me very proud, and I still have the hammer.
I'm proud to see that it's now an American executive saying these words.

Back in High School our principle was debating me why US better than China, and he said at least in America we have cars. This was 2003. If he still alive today I wonder what he is thinking lol

Well, to be fair to your teacher, China today is not something even the wildest TV series writers could possibly dare to come up with. Nobody foresaw this happening, period. Sometimes I consider my generation as the luckiest one, because we first-hand experienced in historical changes from end of cultural revolution to reform era to cold war ending to WTO entry to Iraq war to 2008 Olympics to 2008 financial crises to SCO to BRICS to BRI to Trump to pandemic to Ukraine to Gaza. I mean we have seen it all in person in real-time digital images (thanks to DARPA). It is surreal. It's fair to say at the moment that we all under-estimated what "China" could accomplish in a peaceful environment. And that could partially explain why Tang was so advanced.

Most people in rural Netherlands talked about Chinese in the late 1990s and early 2000s like people do right now about Indians. Big difference is China moved on and developed, compared to India where all the following is caught in 4k...People said all sort of things like gutter oil, suicide nets, child labor making nikes, kids and adults pissing and shitting on the street in cities, they eat cats and dogs, Chinese cars that folded like paper the moment they would touched something etc.
