Sir I think you misunderstood, the reason why BYD and other Chinese company are able to escape the clutches of the American is because of Huawei, they haven't kill the beast yet. That is the reasoning why all Chinese company will work with Huawei cause using American tech is NOT An Option.
Says who? I'm a Huawei Phone user and I won't replace it even you gave me an Iphone.
You don't live in America, that's why you don't realize Huawei's reputation problem here. America for the past few years have created this narrative that Huawei is CCP's tool to spread influence around the world and to spy on them. None of the Chinese automakers or battery makers have that reputation at the moment. That's why BYD/NIO/Polestar/MG have been able to export abroad and get warm reception from Western EV enthusiastic and how CATL/Gotion/BYD have been able to lock down contracts with all the German automakers. Even Hyundai and Toyota are using Chinese battery suppliers.
The world is way too focused on chips. If you look at what has happened this year, China has effectively already won in the EV world. From what I can see, only automakers that rely on Chinese batteries will survive this upcoming transition to EVs. The car industry is the largest industry of all the major manufacturing powers.
Again Sir I respectfully disagree, right now EV is a booming industries the pie is large enough for everyone to partake, Huawei is not building EV Car they're more focus on providing support on OS systems, drive train and other critical EV components. EV is a consumer product so is Smartphone, they're leveraging their 5g expertise. So the question is how can BYD defeat Huawei on its CORE business.
5g is a very tiny part of EV/AV revolution. Think of BYD as apple and Huawei as Android. BYD might not have the best of component, but because it is fully integrated and plugged together, it could have the best car despite not having the best subsystems. And similarly, NIO and XPeng and Li Auto are not going to use Huawei.

They've done a lot of thoughts on what needs to be added to their cars to provide the API that software companies can use to enhance the driving experience. And more importantly, they are closing in on 40% of domestic NEV market this year. The combined NEV market share of domestic automakers that would be open to Huawei is less than that. So BYD's path to winning is by continuing to scale up production faster than everyone else, continue to increase control of all relevant technologies and make sure it moves fast enough in this EV/AV transition. BYD moves an order of magnitude faster than everyone else in this industry. over the space of 2 years, it will have a product covering every segment of the auto market. Its goal is to have a competitive car for everyone out there.
It wants to beat CATL in batteries
beat Wuling mini in minicar segment
beat Geely/Chery in the Dolphin segment
beat Tesla in sedan/SUV segment
beat Germans in the luxury sedan/SUV segment
beat Americans in pickup trucks
beat everyone in electric buses/trucks
Yes, it's USD 40K+.
Whatever retail price in China, when it comes to Cambodia, you just multiply it by two, you'd get retail price in Cambodia.
but why though? Is it because of import tax? The transportation from China to Cambodia via rail should be pretty cheap. Why is the price so high?
Looks like I'm wrong. China to Cambodia trade can't go through rail. That's a disappointment. I hope they fix that soon. That will increase trade between China and Cambodia.
