While China every day is making amazing progress, achieving real results in technology, country infrastructures, building a stronger nation for the people and improving the people lives. India jealous media is busy reporting negative reports of China and their boastful hype on their leadership and nation with not much real achievements. China has achieved incredible nation infrastructures developments, technologies, improving the life of their people and also assisting other third world poor countries. China continues to amaze everybody with their hard work and still be very humble. India it is always self-praise without much achievement but still very arrogance. In fact, it is so obvious to see these countries progressing and achievements for the last 30 or 40 years. In comparison it is like day and night. That is why many of India media channels are so jealous of China and keep mocking and bashing China with all the propaganda and fake news.

EU and other western countries cannot compete as they must apply to rules. As China gives a shit on rules (not yet starting talking about slavary or the entire human rights situation over there, but economically unfair restrications againt western companies) they easily can dump the price far below ours. This is not protectionism to the economy, butat the very end of the entire story it is protectionism against the freedom of speech! And this is hiiiighly welcome in my opinion. It's like our environmental problems. No one cares as no one really feels them (at least in the wealthy world). So currently no one cares about the huge issue speeking about china in respect to freedom of speech, as we don't feel it. We only see the low prices (which are not really much lower, but you know, you don't by for 4.98 if you get it for somewhere else for 4.97). However, this will back fire when we have empowered china with enough economical strength so they will tell us soon, how they want to set up the deals.

No it won't. It won't take long once EU Auto companies and Japanese auto companies start producing BEV in enough numbers to bump China mostly out of these markets because these citizens don't like Chinese companies or the CCP. A company like BYD will do well in Asia though. But here's the other part. You're saying "exporter". Japanese auto makers make vehicles all over the world. Those aren't exported vehicles. Toyota alone has 14 plants in the US. They have many more around the world. Those 14 plants in the US do different things, some build specific models, but they also manufacture the parts in the US. And you can look at all the popular Japanese auto makers that have high volume and they manufacture all over the world. Chinese auto makers have NOTHING like this. Also, most people in different countries still aren't buying BEV, especially the US. So regardless of the head start different Chinese companies have (except they have no advantage over Tesla), it doesn't matter. About 50% of BEV are on Chinese roads, so they are mostly for the Chinese market. Good for them. Go away troll and learn something.

[@pratahsinnetamby]

The real issue for Europe (and the US) is that they expect and feel entitled to a higher living standard than the Chinese but without the productivity superiority required to justify it. In basic terms, higher wages for the same or less output. Although the cost of production is increasing in China as it develops, it is still greatly cheaper than in Europe - hence the move of German auto makers to China. The challenge for Von der Liar is that continued subsidies for an inefficient manufacturing sector is not sustainable. The brand name advantage will only last a certain period, particularly as this is a new product category. In any case, there is little difference between production subsidies and tariffs - they both distort market forces. In addition, as mentioned, China has one of the fastest growing markets for EVs. Europe will be shut out of it. The gap between the size of "Western" markets and the rest of the world is diminishing even for products categories like EVs. As such, the West may be shooting themselves in the foot. Essentially this is a difference in governing systems. In a centrally planned model, governments will direct investment strategically and this is often labelled as "subsidies". In a capitalist system, the market drives investment. The West have successfully forced the world to adhere to their system for a century. But it is hard to see it compete against a strategic centrally planned governing system. Capitalism works when you are wealthy and can exploit colonies and the poorer nations - for every winner there are many losers, typically the colonies. The poorer nations can escape this trap through collaboration and strategic investments from governments - as is the story of China.

[@danstenis660]

The labor cost difference between China and Europe alone is more than 20% difference. Chinese labor cost is only one third of Europe. This alone would more than explain the 20% difference in cost between Chinese and European EVs. Lithium is the most expensive component in EVS and since China has access to more lithium than Europeans it is natural for the EVs to be cheaper. Since most raw materials are imported and finished in China the cost of raw materials would also be cheaper. Having all components of an EV manufactured in China also lowers the cost of supply acquisition. The cost of a finish EV in China is probably cheaper by more than 20% than European EVs. But the cost difference between Chinese and European EVs is marked up to 20% to make more money for Chinese EV manufacturers. When import tariffs are too high it becomes a sanction because no one is going to buy the product. The Europeans would be at a loss because most people wouldn't be able to afford their expensive European EVs. If the import tariff is lowered and not prohibitive then it's basically a tax that every EV buyer will have to pay the government. This is just an excuse to charge taxpayers more taxes. And again this will also still prohibit lower income people from buying EVs. With less EV sales and more ICE vehicles, Europe will have to lift in the polluted smog that is a result of their tariff policy. In the USA,, Chinese EVs are imposed such a high import tariff that it basically sanctions or bands them. This is a loss for Americans as they have to pay for the high cost of gasoline and I'll have to breathe in the toxic smog when they have to resort to ICE vehicles. The fact of the matter is the low cost of Labor in China and the high manufacturing capacity of China makes it virtually impossible to compete against Chinese products if the quality are all the same. In the past when Chinese products qualities are inferior to Western countries competing with China is not a problem. But China has advanced technologically and in today Chinese products are just as good as Western products so it is impossible to out compete with China. These are the reasons why the West are demonizing China because they know that they just can't compete with China on a fair playing field. So who's the real demon, China or the Wests?

Yes all along the American and European products in all fields been enjoying a big premium over the third world’s. It’s the quality and technology advantages they have had. They having good life for quite awhile. Now when technology and quality level up, the wests seem not knowing what to do. Remember the days when continental cars are one cut above the Japanese, the electrical appliances are one class above the rests. It’s just how life goes. If you can’t beat the other what makes you think you should enjoy better living standards.

in the real world, the West still has all the quality as china has none of that and all the technology as china can only do pale copies of yesterday tech. And keep hiding behind a Western nick, wumao @@osmanjerry3272

[@jkuang]

By the way, Chinese EV cars have very good price and quality ratio. Chinese realized that EV car is nothing but batteries with four wheels and a computer. And there are only 22 parts in an EV car. In comparison, there are 2200 parts in a combustion engine gas car. So it is very hard for a EV car to break other than batteries failure. And Chinese dominate the battery industry. Even Tesla is using Chinese batteries. Therefore, it is cost effective for Chinese to build EV cars, and load the cars with a lot of luxury features (yes, in case you have not noticed, all EU luxury items are actually manufactured in China too!). So you see, Chinese EV cars have all the conditions going their way to come up with a low price with high quality, even high luxury, EV car. And they did. They have DOEZENS of EV car makers now competing with even lower price and higher quality cars in Chinese domestic market. And these cars are exporting to EU and the rest of the world like a big wave.

EU and USA cannot compete with CHina on EVs. China is already the largest car exporter in the world and has the most EVs sold. EU is doubling the price of Chinese EVs and in the USA there might e a 25% tax to protect American car manufacturers. This is only the beginning. China in 2023 has just began to push EVs globally and China will dominate like they do in solar panels (75%). If EU and USA push too hard, China will nationalizie their car manufacturers and the EU and USA are toast for good. This means EU, USA, and Japanese car makers will be kicked out. BYD is already out selling Telsa in Chna 2 to 1 and many more Chinese EV companies are coming up too. Its over for Germany, USA, and Japan. They can share like 40% and China will get at least 60% in 5 years.

Countries like Japan are not selling EV in North America - because of profitability etc. In Japan and Asia - EVs are not uncommon. Palki is right - it is their protectionism - they are giving car makers sweet time to catch up. Based on some comments - countries in Europe may have Toyota EVs. Though market in these European countries is equivalent to one province or state as compared to US, Canada or India. Also subsidies are the norm there as governments controls (not known for free markets or another kind of protectionism) all aspects of lives for commoners and still have left over from colonial gains to distribute. North American options are Tesla, Chevy volt and Nissan Leaf. North American leadership only have added taxes and funds so far for climate change and greenhouse gases control e.g J Trudeau 's carbon tax. Funds do make sense because of large geographical area and recent environmental catastrophic events - wild fires and floods. We may be too late to correct the path and let the nature selection work!

I beg to differ on this point. Europe is way behind in EV program and their companies compete. Even though no subsidies are not provided, Chinese labour is cheaper than that in the West. Recently, USA introduced massive subsidies to their companies in all sectors but instead investigating EU put on table their own subsidies program. So Europe should blame itself, they wake up when it's too late.

[@mrslcom]

Of course China is subsidizing their EV automakers, it's even stated in their internal financial reports. Without government subsidies, most EV makers in China would be losing money. Sure, the subsidies may hurt European autoworkers, but all European consumers benefit by the much lower price of Chinese imports. Having them will allow the transition into EV sooner and less expensive, which in the end provides a positive impact on the environment.
