Japanese cars didn't originally just appeal in the US because they were cheaper than the domestic ones, but because they were of higher quality and more advanced than the crap GM or Ford were shoveling out the factory doors.
Chinese companies can also move production to cheap labor EU areas like Slovakia, Hungary and Romania to escape tariffs, and if Chinese players move the goal posts on quality and innovation in the EV sector, then the EU domestic players are screwed, since the quality on affordable EU cars is nothing to write home about, leaving them banking on the brand prestige and domestic history to attract customers, but that goes away over time as proven by the success of Japanese and Korean players in the west which were also initially ridiculed for being knockoffs.
Consumers vote with their wallets, and the appeal of inferior domestic brands just because they're local is very limited. Do you see Americans rushing to fly Boeing just because they're an American brand?
BMW, EV, and Seriously - that's something I can't agree. I see the opposit. They are lagging behind technologically. They put their stakes on conventional cars and didn't invest much in EV for a long time.
Russia asked for discussions on a new security infrastructure for Europe. The West refused out of hand because it expected Russia to collapse in the (then) coming war.
Russia did not collapse. It got stronger.
All this talk of the danger of Russia is self-fulfilling prophecy.
China will lead humanity into the future, while stupid US politicians desperately try to hold them back. Just wait and see how badly this will go for the West if we continue on the confrontational path!
"The sun in the Southern Hemisphere moves counterclockwise across the sky over the course of the day, rather than clockwise. Instead of coming up on the left and going down on the right, as it does in the Northern Hemisphere, it comes up on the right and goes down on the left."
What? So Australians always observe sunrise facing North ? This is an amazing behavioural observation, worthy of some sort of high profile international prize!
"the country’s global realignment with all the worst people in the world."
And who are the best people in the world? Oh, of course, the Yankees and Brits, who actively supported apartheid (and who continue to support it in Israel).
I have also read that achieving productive fusion will require temperatures above 100 million degrees.
Most of my sources are pop-sci, so correct me if I'm wrong.
