Female Chinese diaspora reporter: China's EV industry developed because of Tesla. Just ignore.
I didn’t ignore it. It’s actually quite funny. The article talks about Motorola as some champion of industry and the CCP and Huawei killed them. Talking about work in the early 2000’s, like come on, early 2000’s China killed your company? Sounds like the Canadians who say Huawei hacked and stole Nortel IP and killed them. What about the Execs who actually stole from the pension fund?? Motorola was already in a bad direction by then, they already started chopping divisions by then (ie Semiconductors was spun off into Freescale).
This line is especially good
But fundamentally, they appear to have misunderstood the transaction. They thought they were hiring a contractor; Beijing knew it was running an apprenticeship.
Yes, all the western CEOs who are in charge of billion dollar companies were all so stupid and naive to think China was not trying to learn. The whole point of the JV system was to learn, all sides knew this. It wasn’t a secret!
