I'm not able to turn on captions at my current location.
He said previously he has invested in Xpeng Nio and BYD.
Just crush the Japanese automakers first. That would be more pleasing.I'm actually not too comfortable with the idea of China just outright crushing German automakers. That will create a lot of anger toward Chinese automakers in Europe. We will see. I do think that Japanese automakers are in huge trouble. Toyota losing in international countries is a real concern for them.
Anyhow, more on BYD entering Netherlands.
Tang will be drivable in Netherlands by end of the year.
They are opening up physical stores there in September, starting with Amsterdam
Wang Chuanfu visiting Hefei 4S dealerships. Qin+ DM-i started production recently.
BYD selling more than Tesla is making news now in Western media. I think they are going to be shocked at how much BYD is going to sell in H2 of this year. I'm anticipating 1 to 1.2 million sales in the second half.
World’s Biggest Exporters of Cars by ValueI never thought I see the day when China export more car than Japan. But it happened now ! unbelievable but true. Automobile industry is the pillar industry of western nation supporting many ancillary industries like steel, glass, oil, plastic, machinery and service industry like auto repair, auto shop etc. With the coming revolution in BEV(Battery electric vehicle) which will be cheaper, less maintenance(less parts), no need for oil and gas. It will destroy the foundation of the prosperity of many western countries! Even now you can buy EV for les than $10,000. All it need is opening and they might have one with ever increasing gasoline price due to sanction, Chinese EV maker might have their once in hundred year opportunity to crack the western market. Just like the Japanese did after oil embargo of 1978. I witness the day of long gas line and lemon American car that change little other than chrome grille and leather interior. But gas guzzler and here come the nifty and thrifty sardine box made in Japan.
Western power didn't think strategically other than satisfying their hubris with all the sanction that they levy on Russia They in advertently destroying the foundation of their prosperity and provide opening for China to dominate one of the few pillar industry that they still have! that is what you got if you have more lawyer type running the country! They put lofty abstract ideal above practicality!
