In Brazil, we don't have a national car brand; instead, our market is dominated by American, European, Japanese, and Korean brands. Chinese automakers entered the scene in the early 2000s, but their cars were of such poor quality at the time that they were widely ridiculed. In 2020, Ford closed its factory in Brazil and shifted to importing cars from Mexico and the U.S. However, things took a turn when BYD entered the market. The Brazilian government requires car manufacturers to establish local factories if they want to sell vehicles here. Seizing this opportunity, BYD purchased the Ford factory that had been closed and began selling their cars, which are packed with advanced technology, at very competitive prices. This move caused other car companies to start lowering their prices as well. For us, this has been a great development. BYD offers a wide range of models that are not only affordable but also of high quality. The increased competition has led to better prices and more choices for Brazilian consumers.

That sounds great until people start doing research on how poorly the cars are made. They are not just poorly made. They are dangerous. On average eight of them a day burst into flames due to faulty batteries. Truck loads of them burn before even being delivered. Entire dealerships have gone up in flames due to these cars. The mfg can also do things like lock the owners out of their cars and worse. They also collect all personal data including video and audio. After doing a lot of research I can say with confidence that anyone who buys these cheap cars will not get what they paid for. I am very disappointed by this because their cars look really cool and have a lot of features. Unfortunately those features are often not quality made. Everything else from there is synonymous with cheap junk that does not last or is not as offered. So why would it be any different with their cars. Their own people are waking up to the fact that they are not worth owning. Why buy a car that puts the owners personal safety at great risk. Driving is dangerous enough.

And, if the Chinese come to dominate the market one day, the American workers may end up working for Chinese plants here in the U.S. That is all very possible. Come on, GM is like a bloated cow dieing in a field, waiting for the vultures to fly in. Stellantis is crap and broke. Ford is struggling to find a strategy that makes $$$. They clearly cannot stand up a wave of Chinese competition... So, consumers may get cheaper cars with better tech for a while. But, the American standard of living will decline. Anyway.... I beileve the U.S. goverment's bigger concern is that the Chinese are getting ahead in the EV and AV spaces to a point at which the American OEs may never catch up...

The other issue are the union costs for American car companies ironically who have to overpay and coddle their employees w/ 4 day work weeks thanks to union laws. China doesn't have to deal with that. There's a reason why China can sell a reliable $10k electric car that rivals Teslas. The main reason US lawmakers place those tariffs and are reluctant to allow Chinese cars into the US is they'd put American auto manufacturers out of business. It's sad that we have to pay 3x's the costs for vehicles and everything else thanks to union costs for subpar overpriced EV's and oftentimes American cars that have a reputation for not being very reliable. i'm not even a Republican but one of the issues i agree with them on is that union workers should be able to be fired and replaced.

Lack of domestic demand? CNBC, do you have to be this low? EVs and Hybrids oversold CE cars the 1st time in history in July in China. It's not lack of demand, it's cutting-throat competition that drove these companies to explore overseas markets.

Congratulations Mexico for choosing what is good for your people, economy and climate.

[@tren133]

Actually Mexico is being strongarmed by the US to discourage the Chinese from opening factories. They better grow a back bone quick because there is a free trade agreement across most of Latin America, and the Chinese can go build cars in Brazil to compete against the cars made in Mexico.

Funny there's zero mention of over capacity on other Japanese, Korean and other brands except Chinese brands. Why?

Lacking demands in China for EVs? 60% of all EVs were sold in China last year. And now more than 50% new cars sold in China are EVs. And the streets in Chinese cities are so quiet now because of the numbers of EVs. And the EVs that China exports are still in single digit in percentage of those produced in China. Go check yourself!

[@penghenry7586]

The comments are much better than this video itself! Good job CNBC! The real problem is not Chinese car companies, it’s the big 3 in the U.S. are too comfortable to sell their unreliable and overpriced vehicles to the general public. Let the public buy whatever they want and make some extra tariffs off your own tax payers🎉

[@escargotiskuhol]

And those big 3 ask for more subsidies and tax breaks but still continue increasing prices

[@MGZetta]

It feels like China has infinite money to subsidize everything that has ever existed if you hear Americans complaining. I thought America owns the world reserve currency and owns literal money printers with their unlimited debt-ceiling. How is China out subsidizing and out competing the US. Lol.

if subsidy can save american manufacture, I would like to see the 35 trillion USD used on subsidies instead of funding warmachines

It seems like China knows what industries(solar, EVs, batteries, chips) to subsidize decades in advance while America is subsidizing industries(oil, gas) of the past.

[@nobodynever7884]

They also install illegal devices on their cars to record their customer's driving habits so they can sell that data to insurance companies to make your insurance rates go up. Literally milking every last penny out of their customer. And I'm supposed to be patriotic and buy American cause 80 years ago Chevy's used to be made here.

[@ziqiangyuan234]

The whole report is incoherent. “China is building a factory in Mexico to solve the problem of overcapacity.“ What does selling cars produced in Mexico have to do with China's production capacity? “The main target of Chinese car companies is developing countries because of low safety and emission requirements. “What is the difference between these models and those sold in Europe? Are European standards lower? In addition, what are the emission problems of EVs? Do your editors and repoters lack even basic logic and common sense?

That sounds great until people start doing research on how poorly the cars are made. They are not just poorly made. They are dangerous. On average eight of them a day burst into flames due to faulty batteries. Truck loads of them burn before even being delivered. Entire dealerships have gone up in flames due to these cars. The mfg can also do things like lock the owners out of their cars and worse. They also collect all personal data including video and audio. After doing a lot of research I can say with confidence that anyone who buys these cheap cars will not get what they paid for. I am very disappointed by this because their cars look really cool and have a lot of features. Unfortunately those features are often not quality made. Everything else from there is synonymous with cheap junk that does not last or is not as offered. So why would it be any different with their cars. Their own people are waking up to the fact that they are not worth owning. Why buy a car that puts the owners personal safety at great risk. Driving is dangerous enough.

[@yuema2078]

It keeps talking about "over-capacity" of Chinese cars by the definition of China producing more cars it can sell in China. Would any auto exporting country be "over-capacity" - US, Germany, Japan, France, Sweden, Korea - far more over-capacity, some with over 70% of cars made there sold elsewhere? Why is this "over-capacity" vocabulary only used on China? Why aren't we adding the tariff on Japanese, German, Korean, French and Swedish cars?

[@stefanboster5728]

This will all hash out in 5 years, when Chinese manufacturing is up & running in Mexico.. US cars/pickups will be unsellable, at the current prices..
