China should be using this argument in the media.
China should just point at the /r/antiwork subreddit on reddit and say "thats what actual forced labor looks like." and just keep doing that over and over until the point is hit home.

Literally Amazon workers died in the Tornado in Kansas and the mid-west because they weren't allowed to go home even though the Tornado warning sirens were going off. Workers literally died because they were forced to stay at work.

  • Researchers say a new manufacturing method will allow them to produce high-quality, ultra-modern weapons at a low cost
  • The team adapted a process that has been used to make conventional military equipment for decades, but many doubted it would work for more complex technology

So which German car companies are getting displaced by Chinese EV companies?
Wouldn't be surprised many are on the chopping block, when China is over half of their revenue it means they have already made the debts to create the productive forces to supply demand.

What if that demand gets eroded you still have the debts to pay off but not the revenue to pay off those debts kind of like the Evergrand situation. They will have to sell their chinese factories to chinese brands and their western factories to Tesla.

A lot of them. China's overall car demand remains stable while EV's demand is growing tremendously. Thats means that EV demandI is eating into ICE's sales which is where Germany is dominant.

We are still at relatively low numbers to make a big impact but 2022 and 2023 will inflict a lot of damage to German car manufacturers.

Yes they have their own EV models, but Chinese EV manufacturers are wiping the floor on them. This is going to be bad for Germany
There is also the matter of the EV supply chain being China dominant. ICE supply chain which Germany-dominant is getting thrown out of the window with the EV sector growing.

All in all, German automakers are going to have a low of pressure in the coming years
