I've talked about it in this thread already. BYD already use it on U8. Geely also use it on at least 1 model
You have no idea what you are talking about here. Germans get 1/3 of their sales in China. Getting banned from China would be a disaster for Euroope
US chip companies probably got 30-40% of their sales from chinese companies. That didn't stop US from banning exports to China.
Huawei was significantly better and cheaper than its competitors, Ericksson also sold a lot of equipment in China. That didn't stop Europeans from banning Huawei. They didn't care about any of those.
We need to understand that we are in a new cold war with one side being europeans and their settler colonies such as US, a group of countries who have dominated the world for the last 3 centuries and do not know anything else other than domination. These people are scared shitless about the rise of China. This is a totally new experience for them. They will stop at nothing to stop China's growth.
German branded cars made in China and also sold in China? Its simply nothing compared to Chinese cars being sold in Europe or US. They will sacrifice in a heart bit. Moreover, China has shown many times, that it simply does not retalite to western sanctions and bans. They might do one or two symbolic actions but they have never taken any substantial actions against them.
Why? Cause China wants to get rich and wants to use US and European markets to make money for as long as possible. They also want US and European investments in China to fuel their growth. China is a rising power, it has less to lose. While US and Europe feel they are losing their way of life of dominating the world. They are desperate and willing to do anything to stop it.
Old ways of thinking using cost and benefit doesn't work when one of the opponents are scared. Europeans and Americans are scared. They will do anything to stop China. No matter the cost.
I have one rule when thinking about the new cold war. Whatever extreme moves anti-China hawks in US and Europe think about, no matter how outlandish or costly it might be, it will happen, guaranteed. Cause there is no one pushing back those ideas. Every single year, more politicians get even more anti-China, the public in the west also get more anti-China. Its just not going to stop. Even Iron Curtain 2.0 is most likely in the future.
Think about how China and Japan blocked contact with all foreigners just to preserve their way of life 3 centuries ago. This is what a dominant culture does when it faces something new that it does not understand. US and EU will completely close themselves off if necessary just to stop Chinese influence.
