This is the reason the US travel advisory board recently raised its warning level against any unnecessary travels to China. (They don't want people to see the real China)
@@jmichael259European cars like the recent Mercedes ev that caught fire and destroyed 150 other cars with it in an underground parking garage in south Korea? You want the link? LOL!!
All privately owned Chinese automotive companies are still run by founders who are more focused on the long-term benefits of the business than their own short-term interests, as opposed to professional managers who run legacy brands.
Chinese government officials in charge of science and technology, industry, and supply chain are also science and engineering talents with industrial and academic backgrounds, while Americans are all law school graduates.😂
@@LumenCache its the whole quality of life and cost of living and personal freedom. you say freedom and china and americans think your crazy. yes they have freedom to live a great life.
you mean there are people that still dont understand that China and the Gulf states are now far far ahead of the West? they have futuristic cities. We have humans living in tents and taking shits on the streets.
As an engineer, I visited China a few months ago to attend a convention and I was astounded. They are already ahead of us in many key technologies and the gap is widening very quickly. We Westerners need to get our act together RIGHT NOW, because the Chinese are not slowing down, in fact they are accelerating ahead. If this continues within 5 years China will be soo far ahead we will not be able to compete. After my trip, I finally realized why the media has to constantly lie to us about China. Because if they told us the truth, we'd see how much tax money our government and their corporate masters are wasting without any real benefits to the people. The Chinese government collects much less in tax revenue from their citizens and businesses, yet have to support a population of 1.4 Billion people, and is still able to provide at least 5x more benefits to their citizens than ours. I became REALLY angry at the government and it's lobbyists after I went to China, and that's when it clicked for me; THAT'S exactly why we are not allowed to be shown how well China is doing, it would foster way too much criticism and dislike for the ruling elites in the West. China's success is a major threat to our political establishment, and it doesn't matter what the Chinese do, their existence as a successful state will always be a threat our corrupt political systems.
You are very brave. Because all Western media are controlled by American NGOs. The US government is very politically hostile to Chinese socialism.BBC and CNN's reports on China are all negative.Western media always describe China as: "backward smoggy cities, where everyone still rides bicycles and wear grey old clothes because they are all poor and starving!The streets are full of police and soldiers, and people live in fear."Oh........All of my western friends who made visits to China came back with extremely high praises on China.All cities are modern.clean and very safety.There are no guns, drugs, homeless people, LGBT, delinquents, thieves, or violence in China. It is a very safe country.This the true.True you can not see it in Western media when they speak about china.
Last week I went on vacation from China to Phuket, Thailand. Feeling the intense car exhaust pollution and noise in high traffic areas such as Patong Beach, I suddenly realized that I rarely feel this way anymore in my hometown, a city of 20 million people in China. The EVs do reduce environmental pollution.
CCP is one of the most polluted regimes in history what with rampant over production, over building, cheap products mass produced… nowhere to put all this junk…now what….people are jobless and penniless and banks scam left and right…the great leap backwards. Give me free Thailand any day.
Thailand is also rapidly adopting Chinese EVs, so hopefully a lot of the pollution will be reduced soon. The main problem is that most vehicle in Thailand are trucks, and there aren’t any ev trucks for sale here.
Just back from a trip to China since they’re giving everyone visa free entries, and I’m astonished! 60-70% of the cars are EV in cities with 20M+ people. A 100% cashless society with everything integrated with smartphones. Self driving buses, robots delivering goods and food to hotel rooms that are fully “smart”(voice controlled lighting, TV, AC and curtains). And boy did I mention cleanness! Sparkle clean streets and huge malls without any trash, no homeless everywhere. We felt safe even at midnight walking outside. And hospitality of the locals was just mind boggling.
JUST so refreshing to see a bunch of normal western guys having a good time in a modern futuristic clean safe city enjoying the technology without racial biased political overtones. so many westerners doing this now to share the truth thank you. Very enjoyable video. Mainstream media is disappointing and ridiculous.
Nearly every thing the west accuse China of doing, they are doing. But those accusations have no evidence and whatever "evidence" there is, have been exposed as literally made up, or deliberately misrepresented. Forced labor is so absurd, when China is ramping up to be the most robotic and mechanizied manufacturing superpower. There is no way you can forced labor hundreds of millions of people to get this kind of efficiency in manufacturing. The only answer is China's manufacturing is that efficient, and their input that cheap because they have all the supply chains figured out. From ore to cars, everything can be made in China.
you know china is much more then just the cities and new companies tryna replace human labor right? outside the big cities people are still farming with animals and carriages and a lot of businesses still use fax machines with lots of paperwork, not to mention you can't do everything online on the government's site.
I saw one of this video in China where there is flooding in a multi storey car park. A car parked at one of the lower level of the car park detected the rising water alert the owner on his phone who is on a higher level within the building. All the owner did was 'informed' the car to drive to a higher level. The car self-drive to a higher level, 'looked' for an empty parking lot, parked itself and updated the owner of its new location! All this is done without any human interference!!! Think that is a BYD car. China's technology is just crazy!
Thanks for showing the reality! 25 years in China and counting. Every time a friend or family member visits, dazzling occurs because western media keep distorting reality! Fact is I worked in import/export and over 20 years ago, designs and ideas were coming from the customers. Nowadays most of the ideas and designs are ALSO made in China. I now work in IT and on this field too the local services are just impressive and competitive compared to the west. It is not just about factories and pure production anymore.
Yes, like they say China has no innovation, but that's the time when the market is in the west and the companies in the west were close to the customers in the leading edge and whatever they improve would be the innovation, now the market is in China!
The quality made in China is determined by price, and the highest quality products are often made in China. Of course, if you want to be cheap, you can only buy products of average quality
People associates Chinese products to junks and its hard to get them to pay up for a Chinese made product, so they always end up getting the cheap Chinese crap and they"ll say made in China is bad. So when someone makes fun of made in China next time, you know he's a cheap ass.
@@lemonles669I guess we just won't talk to talk about *Tesla panel gap and other quality and Design issues* - I mean there are thousands all you have to do is Google it SINCE DAY ONE, Tesla has been using Panasonic batteries, as a startup *Tesla has a ZERO battery technology* , in contrast Panasonic has been researching battery technology for 30 years, as it does with its production line with help of Toyota (still it's quality has nowhere near Toyota yet the panel Gaps are as big as somebody's thumb), Right now it tends to use Chinese battery maker also the largest in the world CATL. There are some models in China with batteries in China already has a range of exceeding 800 Mile, solid state and Ultra fast charging.
I'm an American who visited Shanghai/ Beijing for the first time in 2019. I couldn't believe my eyes. The robots, the contactless payment (credit cards were barely accepted), the restaurants, the HSR... there was even a horse stable on top of a 10 or 12 story mall in Shanghai. I tell everyone that China is the most technologically - advanced country that I've ever been to.
A chinese battery company wanted to open 3 plant in Michigan and employ americans. Everything was done then the local government said no because china is an enemy. While us companies invest in china daily.
No, I think it will actually revive the US car industry through fair competition. Sadly this is not going to happen because of "national security concerns."
Mostlikly will never happen our infrastructure definitely not possible to establish such convenient battey exchange stations. if so fortunately able to set up will be Smash-and-grab soon as set up before running.
China has established their dominance in EVs, they have entire supply chain inside China and if any country thinks they can manufacture EVs without using Chinese manufactured parts, and be competitive, they are absolutely wrong
But their is the only ones that Self combust!!!. If their EVs does that in the US market, it will be ORDERED for recall. Most likely the owners will skip the country!.....They cant fix bad battery chemistry and poor assemblng quality without doubling the investment!.
No, its just that this garbage is being exported to our countries, and its pretty much all junk. Good luck finding parts when China Collapses from its own hubris. Please, I dare you come to my country and drive a Great Wall SUV, or the latest Aisin. I guarantee you will find better quality elsewhere. I pray your new BYD does not torch your house or parking garage. Please come to my country and look at all the failed Chinese construction. Most of it was built with Chinese jail labor. its all falling apart. China has no real pride in anything it does.
Many people also think that electric cars are just the difference between gasoline cars and electric cars, and do not realize that this is the beginning of an era of smart cars and the Internet of Everything.
"socialism with Chinese characteristics" is superior to the fake dêmókrazy in the west and that's what they want to hide by the technique of bashing China...
Because people will start asking questions where did all those trillions of subsidies go if China has built that in 2 decades then why has legacy brands havent built better in decades with having 10 times more profits at least over the decades
@@albertcadgame8314 not really. we've shared lots with China and they've helped us too while we helped them and we're still doing that. only difference nowadays is that China is a danger for war rn as they don't disclose where captured footage of their surveillance goes through either. the US doesn't like that, but Chinese cars are still sold in The Netherlands where i live.
The US uses the Tanya Harding strategy to compete with the Chinese. Instead of performing better, we chose to hobble the competition with threats, bans, tariffs, and sanctions.
Well, Most of the Chinese would like Trump to be the president, So that he can ban more Chinese companies and push more sanctions. It seems like bad for China but actually it's not. Here is the reason: 5 yrs ago: - Engineer: Hey! Why don't we use Chinese chips on our product? It is better! - Leader: If it goes wrong, who can handle it? You? Now: - Engineer: Hey! Why don't we use foreign chips on our product? It is better! - Leader: If it banned by the US, who can handle it? You? So,China has become the world's largest producer of semiconductor circuits in this insane 5 yrs. Its chip export value even exceeds that of electric vehicles.
One of the govt official US govt said the bans and sanctions were not to punish China but to protect the US but how does banning Huawei's cell phone protect the US? The US cell phone industry consists only of Motorola and they've been bought out. All cell phones now are produced overseas.
As a Chinese, I assure you, while the Western media constantly seeks opportunities to smear China politically, fabricating Xinjiang concentration camps , Tibet issues, and creating chaos in Hong Kong, the Chinese government just quietly makes plans, improves plans, implements plans, gets feedback, revises plans, and continues to implement plans.All successes are not achieved overnight. They require a comprehensive plan, bold attempts, careful verification, and decades of consistent implementation. China's current success in the electric vehicle field comes from government planning in the 1990s. China has been devoted to research in this field for 30 years.
@@chynavirusakawuflu9961 Now, people from countries in the West can travel to any place in China, not just cities but small towns and villages. Visitors can see with their own eyes the truth about Tibet, Hong Kong, and Uighur, and they will know that the suppressions, as they say in Western media, do not exist.
We Africans love Chinese products. China is ahead in so many things and the west knows and doesn't want to talk about Chinese advancement. But I'm happy for the Chinese people. Their hard work and their government support has made them stand out. Amerika and her allies are thrilled
The comments.😂😂😂😂 I'm from Africa. If not for China, we won't have had access to so many technologies that we have today. Chinese affordable products made so many things that we previously above our finance that came from the West, suddenly available to acquire. Plus China inventing and manufacturing so many things, makes obtainable products more vast than what is in the West.
Why complain about affordable EVs? We all want good affordable products. Its good for the environment to drive EVs and use solar panels. Chinese subsidies is for all people. US subsidies are for the super wealthy and weapons manufacturers
Oh the irony of watching a video showing chinas domination on automotive technology while getting North American car commercials rammed in my face on RU-vid
I'm in China now, and I agree 💯 with everything they said in this video!! As an American, I feel so ashamed of how behind we're. My $107k Ford F150 lightning is already falling apart, and I see $20k Chinese EV has much better design, materials, and performance!!
I've been in China for close to a decade now. The country has made tremendous improvement in its air quality but it still has some way to go especially with interior cities. With all that said I love it here over Canada.
Thats true. The thing about China is, you can find both end of the spectrum here. Its not entirely accurate to say that China is years ahead but its definitely not accurate the media had us believed.
30yrs continous supplies of cheap product to the west, in trade of its own environment and health. You westerners should show more respect while enjoying the economy it provides, and stop calling for wars and hatred.😢
@@doobtom271yeah, iff they make products then their pollution will go up too. They are conveniently scapegoating China as the worst polluter. Half truths... Tell one half of the story but not the other half. And also another half where China is actively and continuously becoming green
Recently, many people in the auto industry have slowly seen this trend in the development of the auto industry. These cars are not cheap products. Their design, configuration, quality and price have been tested by the global market. As a person who has been traveling between the East and the West for a long time, when I saw that most people in the comment area of this video have no understanding of China's development and have serious misconceptions, I just think they are pitiful. Your video may awaken some people to take the initiative to explore and enhance their cognition, but in fact, most people are used to enjoying the spotlight from all over the world as Americans, and do not want to really understand what is happening in the world. After reading a few anti-China media articles, they closed the webpage contentedly and held a negative attitude towards everything from China. This is really funny, but it doesn't matter. To be honest, many ways to make money and profits come from information gaps. Smart guys should have started to figure out how to use these information gaps to make money after watching this video, while idiots are still using ideology to paralyze themselves
@@chynavirusakawuflu9961 What you proclaim shows your ignorance and has no clue of history. Very typical of a Hillbilly mentality. Free this and free that, communist this and communist that. They went to war in Vietnam to free the Vietnamese from Communism is just one of the many stupidities of the US and Vietnam is not the only example. Half the world is looking at the US with disgust.
4:09 wow... that hurts... felt really bad for American tax payers who are subsidizing the EV transition but ending up fatten up share holders/exacutives and also paying more for fat old gas guzzlers.
I am glad you mentioned upfront the actual problem. The auto makers whine and cry because the management isn't making double-digit returns on their investment. They tout things like legacy pensions and rising health care costs as the main drivers of the price of their products. Meanwhile, the labor hasn't enjoyed the same wage increase for nearly 60 years. Something stinks everyone can smell it. Nothing is being done about it.
Usually, money goes to the top management, not even the shareholders. Workers are totally replaceable, they are not the company's assets, they are just costs.
We just sold 2 1/2 acres of desert land there in Lancaster. $11,000 the main problem was no water not sure how deep the well would have to be to get water. They originally tested Air Force planes in Lancaster. Is that Edwards Air Force Base?
I’m living in a very small city in China, all of our public buses were converted to EV buses a few years ago. They are pretty quiet when running on the streets.
Just watching this video makes it seem like China today is what North America was in the 50's and 60's. Before a bunch of people in suits and a corporate office needed to justify their jobs sending occasional emails, holding meeting about topics they don't understand, and going on "work trips"
China will NEVER be like the west - China will never walk the path of hegemony or colonize another country ! That I am sure of becos that never happen in China history before.
The Western companies have long appreciated the manufacturing prowess of China. Those outsourced factories have been able to produce goods at the lowest cost, thereby maximizing profits for the Western brands. This has started to shift as Chinese companies have begun to climb up the value chain. They are now competing in high-profit sectors like design, branding, sales, and distribution. When you visit China and find out the true cost of goods manufacturing in China and the significant markup they have been applying when selling the same products made in those Chinese factories.
Thats right. And the shittiest part is that all the ridiculous mark up that went to those western companies, are then counted towards trade deficits against China. As Chinese I am furious about how we are portraited in the west, its just unfair.
Like the message gun? It costs less than 20 bucks out of factory. When it is sold in NA, the first time i saw in bestbuy, it was 500 dollars. After these many years, it is still priced around 100. When people says junk chinese product, do you know how much you REALLY paid for the product. Chinese factories complains that Amercian are cheap, they only want to buy cheap products, so we can only make cheap ones. Good quality products, we sell in China because US distributor would never import them. Just think about how much premium they put on even cheap products. Of course good qaulity things will be too expensive.
@@Z_Y89 As China's manufacturing evolves, it's expected to see a shift towards higher-quality products. This will move low-end production to Southeast Asia, similar to Japan's transition from volume to value-based exports.
@@winsonip4447 my point is that people in NA paid way more much than they should for the same product or service, because the market is controlled by couple big guys, they have the pricing power. The society is lack of competition and dynamics.
Some of these comments are so ignorant and hateful. I for one love that the guys are going into this with an open mind and at least asking the questions like “why can’t we be this efficient”
I can answer that as an European, we don't want to work 6 days a week 10 hours for 2K a month. We want 8 weeks of paid vacation, that is why a VW ID.3 cost €18K in China and €35K in Europe. The factories in China and Europe are exact copies, nothing more or less "efficient" just cheap labour, especially the parts that come from the Uyghur slave camps.
@@buddy1155 Exactly and the same twit talking about ignorant and hateful comments don't have a damn clue why China can undercut everybody else in the Western World where we live free. ALTHOUGH that might be changing considering the number of times i get censored by the woke lefties on MSN not to mention the suspension i got on here. No answers why and then after roughly 2 years i was told i had been "suspended in error". Yeah right. Maybe these guys have forgot about the extended stay 2 Canadians spent under arrest on trumped up charges in China.
It's really simple, china is taking our jobs and are a communist dictatorship trying to take over the world. They own western governments and are close to succeeding. Working with china in any way is treason
They are running circles around us when it comes to EV technology along with pricing. I’m tired of these North Americans prices on mediocre designs/rang vehicles.
2000: schools and media all touted Canada should shift from manufacturing economy to service oriented economy. 2024: manufacturing is gone, Canada ended up with worsening service.
It was nice to see the truck battery swapping. No bullshit, no talking, no politics, just do the thing and see if it works out in the long run. And everyone is so open to new tech and good ideas (even if from their competitors;).
To think that incredible van is 70k and a Cybertruck is 100k and the door panels rip off if you slam em too hard, and there's just nothing inside. Absolute garbage in comparison.
If subsidies benefit consumers, why not? Taxpayers are better off. Seeing China firsthand can be shocking contrary to the lies we hear. Thank you guys for sharing the truths.
In America we have been convinced to believe that government run projects always fail or are too expensive but here we see not only cheaper good quality products produced with some government direction and subsidies while on the other hand in North America our government cares more about shareholder profits than good affordable products for consumers.
Companies like NIO are making battery swapping EVs in addition to changing. How cool of an innovation is to make a car that swaps its battery in 3 minutes whilst the driver gets a coffee!🤯
inside china business is a great channel if you’re interested in that kind of thing. american business guy living in china does great analyses of tariffs and sanctions and chinese innovation etc.
You are just seeing the tide beginning to turn, a society that invested in science and engineering with the express goal of improving people’s lives. The west was happy to look the other way for years and enjoy a subsidized standard of living while people elsewhere in the world worked hard hours for crap pay and figured out how to mitigate the pollution of industry. The final nail in the coffin will be the reversing of the brain drain. True sustainable development is slow and takes time, a society based on gambling and a fundamentalist dogma of inherent superiority will have to sleep in the bed it made.
@@santostv. That is if the Chinese talent attracted to the US is not regarded as spies. It has even been touted that young Chinese coming to US should be studying Humanities.

True words typed. As I read that I was afraid I was gonna hear a blame game of political parties and who is or was president. In america, we have gone off the deep end so far in the culture of "cool" and "being dumb is cool" that we can't turn back. Idolizing the negative aspects of certain types of people instead of cherry picking the positive aspects. For example, in America, we idolize a hillbilly bearded fool for his religious words of wisdom and superstition instead of observing and highlighting his brilliance at agriculture or outdoor survival. When observing this hillbilly, we could point out why the hillbilly is in the situation he is in (as far as negative stuff) and then point out how he has made the best of his situation and innovated with his limited resources and education. But no.....the hillbilly becomes some sort of celebrity and people want the same overalls, with rips in jt, the same beard, the accent and dental appearance as if it's a "style" and aspiration. I remember as a kid of the 1980s...movies like "revenge of the nerds" really made a smart kid feel inferior. In school, girls didn't like the smart kid. She liked the bully, the bad boy, or the football star. We have set up this idea that ignorance is something to be glamorized. Kardashians? Kid Rock? Honey BooBoo. Wrestling? Here is the thing...there are different types of people in society. Some people can watch a Superman movie and realize you can't jump off a building and fly in real life. But there are some who don't know the reality and will try it. It seems that nowadays we have a large percentage of people who can't distinguish betwee n reality and make believe. So we end up having to protect everyone. In China (I assume), they put a high effort in to making kids be smart. Now...I'm sure it can be a little abusive too. I have visions of parents scolding kids, scaring them in to making straight a's, making them work long hours in sweat shops. Or, slapping them with rulers in the wrist if they don't play violin perfectly. But nonetheless, what we are seeing in this video is a lot of engineering and math and science coming to fruition in a society of motivated workers. In the USA? It's hit and miss. Long hours by farmers, but the son is in the basement playing video games and not learning from that dad.
The cameras on the driver wheel is to catch up if the driver's looking away or sleeping. It's not to send the image away for arrest, just to stop the car if that happen. A good safety measure for people inside and outside the car.
it's ignorant when you thought the cheapness comes from the forced labor, the core reason of their price becoz China has complete supply chain in EV industry, such as BYD, from tyres to battery, either they own a supplier or they are shareholders of the supply chain.
America has lost its way and it is all about profits anymore and how much they can squeeze out of us and all the money that we frivolously spend to all these corporations that never use it for the intended purposes is ridiculous.
As a regular visitor to China since 2008, I couldn't agree more with you guys. The change in air pollution is amazing, the solar-, wind energy-, and car development are mind-blowing. The West is so far behind that we are losing the race and stuck in our dinosaur thinking refusing any new development.
You haven't really experienced china until you bring your own bottle of whiskey to a spa and they all allow you to drink it there and even provides cups
And then refuse any tips as well. Although really the BYO (bring your own booze) and no tipping is not just common in China, but in many western nations as well. Just not in the good ol USA.
@@seanlee3863 BYO is literally part of the signage at most Australian restaurants when I lived there 20 years ago. I believe some countries in Europe also do the same.
One country is focusing on education (check world education scores, China and Cingapore dominate) and investing on engineers. The other is subsidizing businesschool frat boys while its population drowns in fentanyl.
BYD Dynasty series are not the high-technology EV in China, they are more like entrey level EVs. Many Taxi companies purchased them. BYD has its luxury series Yangwang, it is targeting high-income groups. Besides, you should visit the new brands of China's EVs' dealership, like Nio、Xpeng、 Zeeker and HUAWEI's Harmoney EV Alliance. They are advance and innovational players in EVs market. I believe you will get more shock from them.
Poor American "we are better attitude". Why not just admit that US cannot march-up to the Chnnese competition. If you don't want Chinese cars why you spending so much time in them. Your forcefully trying to look for faults but you cannot find any.
More than 70% buses were eletrical in Beijing since 20 years ago. From wire-charged to battery-powered, they've gone through a whole process of development in this industry for decades. It's not achieved all of a sudden
US and EU can not accept Chinese are smart in Manufacturing and Exports too. Global market needs china for sustainable development of countries, Not by providing IMF WB loans to countries.
our government and education system is infatuated with foolish social issues . our kids come out of school absolute idiots. getting anything done in Canada is nightmare, slow, and infuriating. we should be angry as a hornet at our governments
I study engineering in the EU but I want to do 1 year exchange either in Germany, Asia (China/Japan), or North America (McGill or Berkeley). This video kinda made my decision, I am going to China to see what is going on there, I want to be an industrialist, not a finance quant like half of my classmates.
Come on, man, China welcomes hard work to get rich. In fact, the competition between China and the United States is a microcosm of the competition between engineers and unearned financial practitioners in the world.
You can't compare Chinese prices with western prices, an VW ID.3 costs in China €18K and in Europe it is €35K, Building, logistics and sales are just a lot cheaper. As soon as you start shipping or building in a western country it becomes a lot more expensive.
@@justinlynch6691 Costs are still more expensive in the west, just think about the ground prices for the factory, or all the materials to build the factory but even electricity. You can replace "cheap" labour with automation but you have to hire more expensive engineers to maintain the robotics in the factory. Automation will help a bit but will not make the price difference go away.
@@buddy1155 I think that's a lot of speculation. Good automation doesn't need engineers to run it, just design it. It needs calibration, but those are tech jobs, and honestly the UAW wages would rival even some engineers salaries. There is no cheap labour in building cars. UAW has been milking us dry. I'd speculate they have blocked automation everywhere they've been able. I know businesses who maintain their own general contracting and building divisions even though that has nothing to do with their core business. The construction industry is so far out to lunch that it's more cost effective to do it that way. It was actually cheaper for them to buy a crane than rent. I agree, that industry needs a makeover as well. You may be right, but with the cost of labour I'm not so sure. I'd like to see the breakdown of factory overhead, electricity, labour, raw material, etc of the build cost
@@justinlynch6691 I don't disagree that automation is the way to go. Don't know about labour unions in the US but in Europe they are a very good thing.I never heard them fight against automation. The labour unions in Europe are fighting very hard to keep manufacturing for Europe in Europe. And that is the way it should be.
I tell people that all of the time. Start traveling within your own country first and you’ll find out real quick where your assumptions or things you’ve seen, read or heard may not be all what you believe.
We actually can’t have that level of efficiency and advancement in Canada. They have the “advantage” of dictating what is the priority. Our Canadian problem is we can’t make a decision that may benefit 80% of the population because 5% of that population makes the most noise and makes it impossible to complete that goal. We need ingenuity and genius leading the way. Instead we have people that barely have an arts degree making political policy based on the fringe group of radical ideas. We need to go back to common sense building and funding things that make Canada better, not sending money away to areas that don’t share our same collective values. We as Canadians have a broke system, that does not promote ingenuity and building greatness. We could have everything that this country seems to show off, we actually have everything they are using to build there economy with.
I agree, apparently common sense ain't that common in Canada. The best representation of Canadian efficiency is union station. Look at the line ups and the waiting you have to do for simple errands like in banks or service Ontario, or immigration office and just about anything. It's like we spent 80% of the resources and efforts on useless administrative bureaucracies, everyone's a talker and nobody's a doer. Shit like that will be our downfall
It is just absurd to think the the west would ever compete with China. They produce more engineers. They have a very integrated factory-production system. The gap will only wilden in term of innovation and technology. China has invested heavily in its youth education system. They have more competent politicians. They manage 3 time the west population in a more cohesive and progressive manners with less crime than the whole west. I graduated from an engineering university in the US and most of the students in my school were chinese or of chinese descent. The only thing the west have is the edge of what it had gained in the past but it will fade away really fast. I kind of enjoy western arrogance and sour attitude as it knows competition is futile and defeat is certain. It is just a matter of time.
Guys, EVs is not just reducing noise pollution on the road, you get none of the air pollution, cleaner, healthier air and lesser heat on the road. All in a much better environment.
It's all down to the greed of the people at the top. They could care less about our countries, our people, or the world. It's just a game to them. Who can pocket the most money and to hell with everyone and everything else. Protectionism is bullshit and it's dragging us down. If the executives won't accept a reasonable compensation package and put the money back into the company and the people then we need to let them fail.

Now get this, they are all equipped with GPS and record every flight in detail for the photographer's use. Who is to say what else happens with that data? How easy it would be for that to get into the hands of a foreign country. Something else to think about is the growing use of drones for crop spraying. Same GPS mapping features except in greater detail. Control a man's food, control the man.
The bulk materials are fixed costs. The only thing you can do is cut labor costs to keep prices lower. How can we compete, our standard of living too high?
Common Sense, we have lost it. Control, we do not have. Keeping(protect from war) our(every human) World(my home, your home, beliefs, peaceful wants... safe) free to travel and do trade with others is, OURS TO MAKE HAPPEN.
One of the countries whose government is consistently striving to impove the life of its people , actively pushing for a better tomorrow for them not by promising but just doing
China has gotten a bad rap in the past for pollution and labor laws,Don't believe the lies of the Western media. China is the best in the world in terms of environmental protection. If you search for videos related to desert management in China, you will be shocked! In addition, China is promoting EV vehicles across the country to protect the environment. This cannot happen in the United States because the United States wants to protect oil companies.
And I think it was fair to criticize them for it, but they've clearly taken strides to move forward and improve things. However, bcos things improve at such a slow rate in Western countries, they impose that standard into their belief about China's rate of improvement.
