    Good! I‘m grateful that the CCP is stepping in where the West is ignorant. Thanks to heavy lobbying by fossil fuels and car industries we would never have affordable cars in Europe without China. Thank you Xi Jinping for saving the climate 🙏

      LOOOOOLOLOLOL have you looked at China’s greenhouse gas contributions lately? They don’t give a fuck about the climate, they’re just trying to drive other countries out of the market.

          That’s because they’re also heavily subsidizing that industry out of self-interest. That’s the “emerging markets” I mentioned above.

            Oh no, a country acts out of self-interest! A concept that is completely foreign to the West 😱 At least their “self-interest“ has cheaper EVs for the rest of the world as a result. What are the coeffects of the US defending their self-interests? Rise in facism? Another genocide?

              You’re moving the goalposts. You were literally thanking Xi for “saving the climate”.

              Once again, I am not having a pissing match about which country is better, I am discussing the success of electric vehicles from China.
