Europe is next. The entire western empire will prevent chinese cars from taking hold on their country. Japan and sk will also do the same.

The Qing Dynasty also heavily restricted access to foreign trade, and tell me how it ended up for them.

You can't fight against the crushing waves of historic trends. You can only cope and count your days.

Then they will be uncompetitive. Qing China banning import of foreign goods didn’t make it more advanced or competitive. I look forward to the day that the average Ugandan drives more advanced vehicle than the average American.

Not saying its good for them. But I think China should not put too much hopes on having access to the west to sell its cars. And it should not invest too much to setup factories in places like Europe.

Because fundamentally Europe will find excuses to ban chinese cars on national security grounds. And setting factories to avoid tariff will be a waste of money if the cars get banned anyway.

Just treat Europe and other US allies as a optional bonus. Focus on rest of the world. Also avoid India like a plague.

To be fair, use of roman numerals is kind of an archaic baby boomer and gen X thing. Kind of like how the highly educated or elites from the Silent Generation and Greatest Generation would learn latin in their youth, treating proficiency with it as a form of status signaling. When gen Z and alpha take over, all communication will be purely in the form of memes.

From "what a precarious situation" to "yo dawg da fuk is dis whack ass sitch". Truly remarkable.
