@manimalworks7424 Год назад

@@benwlee so whenever we can’t compete, we resort to this tactic. We will say we lost the solar panel battle because of their subsidies. We never look at our cost structure and see where we can improve. Back in 2010, I was really curious how the Chinese can make lighters so cheap, wholesale price is like 15 cents, yet it has 32 parts. They all say it’s government subsidies. I was not convinced, who in their right minds would subsidize lighter manufacturing? I went to Yiwu to find out. It turned out they had perfected the process and they were still making reasonable money. They had a truck that drove through the village, where they threw out the materials to the part makers, and the people who were making the parts threw onto the truck the finished parts. So they were making the components in the villager’s home, basically no overhead. They were making these parts in their spare time just to make some extra money. Also look at how they built their high speed rails, buildings, it’s not something you can explain with subsides. I lived there for about 10 years from 2000 to 2010. I witnessed how a 27 story building was built in a month: day 1, bulldozers demolished the old houses and everything cleared, day 2,3: a big hole was dug, day 4: some strange machinery hammering down many concrete columns in the hole, day 5: underground floor complete, day 6: nothing was happening, from day 7: every day, 2 stories built, constant shipment of steel bars and concrete, before I could finish counting, roof was there with a strange antenna. Then the whole building was wrapped in green fabric top down, I couldn’t see anything anymore. Fast forward to day 26, green fabric wrap was took down, a 27 story building was standing there, windows and granite panels decorated, the next couple of days, sites cleared, heck, huge trees were shipped in and planted, with bags of water and tubing hanging on the trees, shockingly they were treating the trees with infusion! I don’t think any subsidy can do this. It’s time for us to admit that they are doing it better and learn from them. They didn’t shy away learning from us, why is it so hard for us to learn from them? After all, they have a population base of 1.4 Billion, if there’s one smart genius in 10000 people, they have more than 140,000 genius minds. Do the same math and count how many you have? Maybe that will make you humble?

@benwlee Год назад

@@manimalworks7424 Yes, I come from a country that started the green screen thingy and the way how a skyscraper is put together quickly. And you know what, for a lot of things that went up quickly, there's a lot of things buried and counted as cost of doing business. I am not saying one way is necessarily better than the other, but simply stating that you won't know details until you look into it. As far as argument goes, we know how Cobalt is mined for example. Now I don't disagree that legacy automakers are dragging their feet on their collective jobs. But that alone is simply one facet of the whole matter and should be assigned precisely. Now, comes to your lighter example. I am sure there are certain governmental involvement to make sure it sets up a noncompeting infrastructure for lighter manufacturing. It is a necessity for them to squeeze the last ounce of everything so to meet the demand of the buyers. Democracy/free market always proves it is messy and not efficient. But I thought we established this a long time ago that it is by design, the purpose is to create competitions and so whatever we are dealing can revolve/evolve. Once you created the 'best' machinery, you tend to fixated on it and will stop right there. It's simply a manifestation of different stages of an industry. As much as I would hold in awe of Chinese scientific advancements, I tend to think that is not how we, as human beings like to live our lives! You know, been told to 'where to go next'. At least for myself, I like to goof around and hope to trip on something interesting in the process. This is, by definition, not efficient. I think this west vs China boils down to how you like to live your lives. Because you should know, if Chinese CCP gets the chance to order you to do their marching, its going to be merciless. You do understand the difference between been a Chinese vis-a-vis Chinese CCP, right? The cost of sustaining into future should also be considered.

@@benwlee True, then in turn, one can argue VW is being subsidized by the German government because it's selling at a low price. 😀And in order to compete, Chinese EV brands were forced to lower price as well. So the culprit is definitely the German government.

@manimalworks7424 Год назад

@@benwlee In fact, the subsidy is given to all EV makers in China. It comes in 3 forms: 1. government installed millions of charging stations and written down requirements that all new developments: residential or commercial, have to provide certain amount of charging station per project size. Every rest area of expressway installed charging station. 2. 10% of the sale tax is waived for EVs (any EV, doesn't matter which brand or where it's made) 3. Tag special treatment, in big cities, especially Shanghai and Beijing, tags for ICE cars are limited, there's a lottery system. For EVs, no tag limit. Well, that's why Tesla is selling so well in China. You're incentivized to buy one. Based on these information, I can confidently say there's no subsidy to EV makers. There're only incentives for EV consumers. Do you get tax credit in your country when you buy an EV? Is the credit given to all EVs.? In America, we only gave tax credit to Tesla and the big 3. As for German or SK made EVs, no credit. and Chinese EVs? Forget it, banned.

@mazdarx7887 Год назад

The EU has mandated(because of carbon emissions) that by 2035 all new vehicles sold there will be EV's. The Chinese have started producing and selling EV's to the EU market relativity cheap(much cheaper than the EU manufacturers can. Now the EU wants to put tariffs on these planet saving vehicles. I guess that means that the carbon thing is only a problem if the EU can produce EV's to help solve it. It's like carbon credits, it's ok to pollute as long as you pay a tax.

Sadly the protection policy only made the national car uncompetitive to compete globally against global car brands - economic of scale to produce and development cost spiral , the national car lost billions and sadly taxpayers were burdened to pay and spoon feed a titanic. The government did the right thing to offload a loss making business and Geeley purchased a major share offering technology and retraining of people , launching new models that fits the current market demand from consumers.

While China being able to drive down costs faster might have hurt some European solar manufacturers who couldn't compete, it also drove down prices to be a fraction of what they were and a fraction what we pay in the US. It made solar the least expensive way to generate electricity in Europe. That has led to much faster adoption of renewable energy in Europe at a lower cost than in the US. Stopping lower-cost EV's will have a similar effect in slowing EV adoption and extending reliance on fossil fuels.

Labor costs are a small fraction of the overall panel cost now. If a Chinese company were to set up shop there, it would still get hit with sanctions (as they were in Southeast Asia). However, there is a lot of sunny, barren land there that could import energy into the US (potentially even using Chinese panels to do it), if we would allow that. Remember that by using the lower-cost panels, they become less than half of the system cost. If I were giving charity away, I think Mexico could use it more.

If the EU imposes tarrifs the EU ins transfering wealth from its citizens to its domestic automakers. Make everyone poorer to prop up the big auto companies that can't compete. If the intent is give companies like BMW time to recover and become competitive, this might make sense. But one of the reasons they're not competitive is high energy costs, which may be permanent with the bombing of Nord Stream. The other part of the story is that Europe had a huge chunk of the Chinese car market and that will be lost in a few years, again permanently. And if the EU imposes huge tarriffs on Tesla, Mercedes, VW etc importing their cars from China they are hurting their own companies.

3:29 there is a difference between subsidies or tax breaks to create jobs, or to save an ailing company to save jobs (and not in the startup phase of an industry when there is a shakeout, which is to be expected), and dumping - or subsidies that encourage dumping. There are laws on the national and international levels, that have provisions for dumping practices. We've seen it in semi-conductors in the nineties I believe, and in other industries as well. Such practices amount to war on another country by economic means. There's a huge difference, and you need to educate yourself on that.

When an external manufacturer brings in a car at a lower price they demand government intervention. Why should a "basic" car cost more than a 1/4 year's salary?. If the government wants to go full electric, they should allow "one" basic "low cost" commuter car. Allow trade in of older gas powered for electric with a large credit. The only real issue with Chinese cars is repair, when something happens. Don't see any dealers, or part stores. GM had the right idea at one time. Build a basic inexpensive base, then the buyer adds what he wants above that. We need the 10k, 20k euro cars. At 10k it could be a trade it in every 4 year's. Just when .... starts happening.

Both U.S. and the E.U. auto industries have manufacturing facilities in China. At those facilities Chinese manufacturing employees make a good salaryand have good benefits relative to other manfacturing jobs in China and the safety and working conditions due to U.S. and EU demands are better. But those salaries that have raised the standard of living for the Chinese workers are far below the wages of the U.S. snd EU workers. Left unimpeded wages, benefits, and working condition between the countries would in theory reach parity. However that parity would likely be detrimental to the U.S. and EU workers. Their wages and benefits would decrease in the effort to be competitive with their Chinese counterparts. The cost of living is much higher in the U.S. and European countries. So it is either cede manufacturing to China for the sake of cheaper vehicles or levy tariffs and other protections to keep manufacturing jobs.
