  1. As the CEO of a large automotive company he witnessed the rise of this situation firsthand and if he didn’t do anything about it back then, he’s not going to do anything about it now.

  2. It is a shame for our policy makers to not foresee the potential risk of transfering critical industries to a non-democratic country.

  3. This is why Elon has vested interest in China and his teslas since he knows the US has lost this battle. He wants to be positioned with China.

  4. china went for it and subsidized it, now they do it well.

    ford made bigger and bigger child-mowers (suvs) running on gas and now complain they can’t compete

    cry me a fookin river.

  5. They did not take it, we gave it to them. China is using corporations as fronts for a civilian-led take-over of ports and harbors in the Canal Zone. It also has a strong foothold in Africa. Imagine what the world would think if the USA made those moves. Get ready for the squeezed similar to what people think tariffs will do. You havent seen anything yet!

  6. I’ve been posting this kind of stuff for over a year and get accused of being a Sino-simp.

  7. Farley is that guy who starts repeating what his kids told him 5 years ago like it’s brand new information lol 😂

  9. Regretting lobbying for oil whilst they captured battery manufacturing. At the end of the day no one cares about your idelogies in business. Looking like a lot of western car companies like VW were caught resting on their laurels.

  11. Originally all that came out of China was poor quality products, but as they always say, practice makes perfect.

    They’re going to be the home of innovation for stuff like this for a long time coming because they’re the ones who have give through the process of making the mistakes and ironing out the kinks in the production and now have the experience no one else in the world really has.

  12. Fake! Photoshopped! We have the world’s best technology & batteries right here in America!

  13. The funny thing is: All experts in the field, professors, even journalists, shouted from the rooftops this was gonna happen for around 10 years now.

    The western industry had plenty of time to prepare but little have they done.
