Oh come on. The US has super conservative and protectionist policies.

The fact is that both CATL and BYD have the upper edge in battery technology. And that a lot of Chinese car manufacturers have very good and competitive products.

European car brands are really struggling to transition to the future and still can't figure out their software and technology. They are run by old guys who are still trying to save the ICEs as this technology is a gatekeeper of their businesses.
