Zhang Yazhou was sitting in the passenger seat of her Tesla Model 3 when she said she heard her father's panicked voice: The brakes don't work! Approaching a red light, her father swerved around two cars before plowing into an SUV and a sedan and crashing into a large concrete barrier.
Stunned, Zhang gazed at the deflating airbag in front of her. She could never have imagined what was to come: Tesla sued her for defamation for complaining publicly about the car's brakes — and won. A Chinese court ordered Zhang to pay more than $23,000 in damages and publicly apologize to the $1.1 trillion company.

This is what is waiting for you guys in the USA too. The Chinese say that North Korea is their future. Let's face it, China is USA's future.

Not China as a country saying it, the Chinese doing it, the normal people, that was especially a topic after Covid, but they also compare it to the personality cult around Kim and Xi, and I can see the same happening around Trump. I guess you can read about it on Chinese social media if you speak the language.
I heard it from my wife and her Chinese relatives in private conversations.
