they had DECADES to develop decent EVs, it's the whole fucking reason for progressively tightening emission standards. they also built their nation atop of the car industry and oil and shit.
yet they refused to even make consistently good combustion cars. they dug their own grave and i'm not sad for them at all.

Our politicians are soul-whores so I'm certain once the bribe is good enough we'll all have access to these new Chinese cars. 🤷

Remember when competition was good for the consumer?
It still is, but it used to be too.

I agree that Cara shouldn't be collecting personal data; it's a shame that they only care if China is collecting that personal data.
