    Video never mentions that Tesla buys the LFP blade battery from BYD for some of the models in china. Very big development as it shows BYD is still a huge supplier for others not just themselves.

    In China, Tesla Model 3/Y are not consider as "luxury car", as their price range is targeted at regular middle-class families. Local Chinese brands like Nio, HiPhi and Li are the more accepted luxury EV brands in the Chinese market, with higher price range and better service than Model 3/Y.

    One thing the US definitely excels China is its act of cutting supplies of equipment to China. US does not try to win by upgrading itself, but by dragging others progresses. What a great country!

    Fun Fact : The first Boeing mass produced aircraft Model C, was designed by a Chinese aeronautical engineer named Wong Tzu (Wang Zhu). "The 1st... and the Best”, he helped put the company on a sound footing. In 1916-17, he led the fledgling airplane manufacturer's first military plane, first airmail plane and eventually designing Boeing’s first successful passenger plane, the Boeing Model C. The Model C was not only Boeing’s first production order, it was the first Boeing aircraft to be produced in large numbers and sold. Wang Zhu later returned to his motherland to help China in aircraft manufacturings.

    Remember how Toyota, Honda and Nissan were laughed at in the 1970s and 1980s and accused of all kinds of things. Remember how Hyundai, Samsung, Kia went through the same in the 1980s and 1990s.

    Some of the best looking cars on Dubai roads are Chinese EVs. I'm a happy Toyota owner. But when it's time to upgrade, I will most definitely be looking at BYD or NIO
  • @pakiethoko
    The Chinese cars are gaining momentum in South Africa too. Great value for money, after sales support and they seem to listen to critics and keep improving.

    If China can build a space station, its version of GPS, Beidou, the largest HSR and highway networks SINGLE-HANDEDLY, in such a short frame of time, the rest wouldn't be that hard, it's just a matter of time. So, if the U.S. wants to be the modern-day Tanya Harding, it's bound to fail. The writing is already on the wall.

    Forty years ago, China was still concerned with how to feed its people, but today, we do not find it strange to compare it with the most technologically powerful country in the world, which has dominated the world for 100 years. Regardless of the outcome, this in itself is a huge success for China.
  • @ezezcompany
    Putting the competition aside, it seems to me that in today’s world only the US and China are currently making comprehensive technological advances and economic development at the national level.
  • @kl9518
    China needs to design aircraft that looks like a bat, a car that looks like a panda and computers with bamboo, so others can't say they are copying.
  • @joseurena6549
    Given USA's overtly negative actions against China, it is appropriate and in China's national interest to become self-sufficient in air travel.
  • @raymonddon8875
    im mexican, 78 & living in mexico city. when china was poor, no one gave them any respect but only mocked and laughed at the chinese. today china is rich, smart & very powerful... the world listens to every world the chinese people say. i saw all this change took place in under 30 years. bottom line here, money talks and money is power. instead of us mexicans being jealous of china, lets copy, learn and follow in the chinos footsteps - viva powerful china!
  • @hillbillyangle
    How about 5Gs, commercial drones, solar pannels, AI applications...
  • @bakuschen8541
    Comparing the C919 to the B737 with the facs that both are single aisle aircraft and have aprox the same amount of seats and claiming its copying, is like comparing a VW Golf to a Renault Megane and telling people both have 4 wheels and 5 seats. So is the Airbus A320 also just an evil copy of the Boeing 737???

    The fin-Market;s have underperformed the U.S. economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stock;s and bonds. My portfoliio of $750k is down to $592k any recommendation;s to scale up my return;s during this crash will be highly appreciated.
