German cars are not fighting against Chinese cars, they’re fighting against EVs, including Tesla. And the fight is not in German manufacturer‘s favor.
They even lose to Tesla in their home country.
EVs are a red herring. They only shift the hydrocarbon problem, to an environmental problem you don't see as readily. But they still rely on finite resources and create a far bigger environmental problem not to mention running cost e.g. replacing batteries every 5-8yrs. Hydrogen while maybe inefficient to produce now at least had the door open for further technological advancement with an infinite resource
@@alexlo7708 Tesla No.1
German Era is over for ever
The press media usually bark up the wrong tree.
Don't blame China for German carmakers' slow transition to electric vehicles
When DW posts vids about China, you know the content already 🤣🤣🤣
The piece didn't blame China. The piece questioned the strategy of German industry and government.
Agreed. But there's more to it. German manufacturers have lost their way entirely. There was a time they built solid machines, but now I can only see them concentrating on adding technology for the sake of technology, which really just makes things worse - climate controls on a touchscreen being a common example of the same.
It is a German state media.. expect NATO propaganda only.

@tobyli52 What was your issue with the piece?
With price-cutting strategies of the EV producers right now, from Tesla, to Chinese ones, German cars producers are put at disadvantage. They simply can't produce cars cost-efficiently in Europe due to losing cheap energy source (you-know-from-whom).

This story made it sounds like without the Germans, China will still be in the stone age. The reality is that China will forge a path forward even if Germany was not there in the first place. Given long enough peace, China will prosper and thrive like so many times in history, this time is no different.
Sorry, but this is absolutly not true. China has always been, and always will be, an opportunistic country. The Chinese economy is only so strong because they stole Western technologies and completely dominate the market with their strict access regulations. Without the West, China would not be where they are now. This has been an ongoing process for decades and not just since yesterday.
Why china started Only 30 yeras ago?
@@andreig475any nation has up and down period. Look at China 500 years ago
@@andreig475 Because the west gangsters robbered a lot of wealth from China in the past 200 years. You can find the same problem from Afraca, Latin America, India, Mideast, and Southeast asia. But China is lucky, they are too brave and diligent....
@@tpndtbk Not just 500 years but more than 2000 years ago. Written history itself shows CHINA was always a powerful and leading nation. Since its first unified as one nation way back 221 BC it has become the birthplace of eastern civilization and center of trade.
WHY demonise them? EV + solar = planet saved!!! their GOV was smart to support the future tech and this should be celebrated. I really despise seeing subjective reporting from DW!
Also i have seen that DW has increasingly subjective and anti-China reporting. This world needs peace
China wasn't demonized. DW had simply highlighted issues German industry was facing.
DW is gocernment funded. You tell me the rest.
I struggled to understand this hatred towards China... The world was okay when German cars were dominating the Chinese market but it is now a problem when China is now leading
@@gabrielamponsah2612 The hatred is in your imagination. You didn't understand the video.
Such a hawkish documentary. Showing so much army and cannons as though there is an active war going on.
DW REV totally ignored what makes German products competitive in the world market. Aside from quality of products, it's cheap Russian energy. the destructions of NS1 & NS2 and the Inflation Act changed all that. German funds and manufacturing headed to US and China to survive.
German products manufactured in Germany with high priced LNG won't be competitive anytime soon.
Yes , and its household appliance such Bosch electric tools are losing to many US and Japanese brands such Makita , Milwaukee , DeWalt, etc.
Very intelligent person
Germany knows but they have to ignore, or what you expect? investigate USA?
DW along with many Germany now days think “democracy” will solve all problems
The reports ignore all that , they're now blaming china not been democracy, money business don't care if you're a democracy or not, money is a universal language the businesses understand.
Go China🇨🇳💪
From your Brother, Indonesia🇮🇩
thank you
👌🏻好的，我的印度尼西亚朋友！
Thanks brother 👍
This is the Asian century! All Asian nations will be successful
China will win this out because they control the battery production.
I think one of the reasons German car manufacturers fleeing to China is the lack of cheap energy from NS1 and NS2. Tbh, It surprised me how ready Germany is to fall.

@@SeattleFSD
If USA treating China as biggest enemy , China is USA’s biggest enemy .
Elon ，Cook ….USA’s business men are China’s best friends,so they all are enemies against USA government‘s China policy.
Tesla price in China has decreased a lot, which is not regarded as a premium car anymore, and it’s dethroned by BYD.
Btw Tesla buy battery from BYD for its fanciest model.
It was a smart and bold decision that China gov brought Tesla in 2019 to build gigafactory in Shanghai, which extremely pushed local Chinese EV brands to work&innovate harder to compete.
The Germans always mistakenly think that it is the Chinese and they learned the car manufacturing technology. This is German narcissism. In fact, China's own development of automobiles began in 1950. In 1958, China began to produce its own brand of "Hongqi" cars.
这是不对的，
>> In fact, China's own development of automobiles began in 1950
I heard that story, 1950's hongqi, but I also heard they are just the old Buicks bought from GM.
As a native of China, I want to correct you. China's automobile industry has learned a lot from Germany. In 2015, my first car was Volkswagen Magotan. It has been eight years.There is no problem.but it will eventually be eliminated like Nokia's mobile phone. The future belongs to new energy vehicles, just like smart phones replace old-fashioned mobile phones. China is far ahead in new energy vehicles, so my next car should be a China car.

what is Tawian have to do with your automotive supremacy?...why can't DW just do topic without mentioning china treat,Tawian invasion?
DW thinks Taiwan is Ukraine, but actually Taiwan is Crimea...
The topic is on cars and the first thing they show is military. The G7 are masters of economic coercions themselves.
It was the daily flag-raising ceremony in China, as well as the ceremony held to welcome foreign heads of state. In DW's view it was a sign of dictatorship.
its literally in every video about china, doesnt matter which topic it is.
What a dump take at the end. Any investment in any country for a critical sector you are dealing with that country's government rules and regulations whether you like it or not. Also, why would any country not use their economy to get up in the chain of production and self-reliance.
furthermore this is written in WTO rules, if developing countries are not allowed to develop their industry, no one will join the WTO. this is why you always see US threatening to leave and not China. because US knows its in the WTO rules. and now they are pretending that the rules they setup are "unfair", what a joke.
Growing up, my family had multiple cars from the VW group including VW, Skoda, and Audi. But since my mom had an Accord, the only car we buy now is Japanese.
Japanese are exactly like the Germans, lagging behind in their past success.
@Yee Tian Not for EVs. The Japanese are very late to the Ev market and are losing even more market share than the Germans in China. They're actually in more danger than VW and the others. Koreans are trying tho
But honestly, the Japanese do not even have a car like VW ID series.
@Yee Tian EV sales in Europe overtake fuel cars for first time - 05/06/2023
@Yee Tian but in China ev market would surpass feul car this year
in previous years, german car companies earn tens of billions dollars every year in china, German media said that these companies are too dependent on chinese market, if i can get so much money from others, i would be glad to be dependent on these persons, today, German car OEMs face great challenges due to your own slow movement and now you can it threat, so either way, China is bad per your narrative, interesting...
Any Indian watching this, our competition should be with China, not Pakistan. The Chinese have improved leaps and bounds in almost everything even though we both started our journey together as dirt poor nations. We should observe and learn from them. Anyway congrats to the Chinese, you guys deserve this success.
Yes india’s one-sided competition and obessesion with China that China doesn’t even notice.
Nice bro. India and China should work together against the US
india should continue competing with pakistan, china is way above india's league. India and China are not compareable
China, a friend of India, is totally dismissive of competing with India. There are too many problems in your country, and you don't have any strength to compete with China.
和中国竞争，印度配吗😂
Where would German Companies go? India? lol. Indians can even barely fund basic Infrastructures and average purchasing power of Indian is still very minuscule compared to CHINA. Besides, India has its own domestic car companies and they prefer those cheap affordable cars. Southeast asia, same case with India and not that huge market actually vs CHINA. Africa and Latin America? They prefer affordable cars. The future of german companies is very dark. And this goes to blame their govt for blinding the side eye and still following US hegemony despite the fact that US is constantly trying to de industrialize Europe itself. LOL...
This comment deserves more Likes!
You seem to live in age old delusional world
Lol Tesla setting up plants in India, Musk to visit in APRIL keep living in delulu.
German automobile sector will now use DW to say that German is no.1🤣
China is 1.4 billion ppl, I belive it is still in the beginning if China gets a bit bigger it will be as big as Jpana S Korea and USA and Germany and France and Britain and Canada and Australia and Netherlands and Italy combined, I achtuly think China is very underrated and it has a bright future just like elon musk said China will be at least 2 times economically bigger than USA or 3 times at most, so let them invest more in Scince and let the competition be more fierce they are very strong and we should challenge them even more.
BRICS is already bigger by GDP than the G7... the G7 really can't change the trajectory of the world anymore, it isn't just "China rising"... the entire world has changed...
It's so odd every piece DW makes about China has to include its military parade.
لماذا دوماً القناة تحاول شيطنة الصين لم تعد هذة القناة محايدة
No
They never had been neutral , it was the Germans who mastered propaganda 80 years ago after all.
Progress comes from competition just like in sports competition, the winner can be from any country. All the sports participants learn from one and other. Europeans learnt from China in early centuries about metal casting, printing and navigation and paper making. Now China can run faster than Germany , then Germany has to learn from China to compete. Germany cannot afford to stay still not to innovate and improve.
Tesla even beats German in their home turf 😂😂😂😂😂
Ikr HAHAHQ
Watching DW is like listening to any American news outlet who emphasise mainly one risks and threats without acknowledge their own shortcoming. Just like other countries, Chinese work very hard to improve life and strive to success. If China does things better these is because they have invested and learned a lot from others.
dw is manipulation, they want you hate china.
Unbelievable biases and Hypocrisy ; BYD Have struggled in the market More then 20 years ; Nowadays they take the lead by constantly investing and spend more then 20 years in R&D ,and
They dare to take the risk to bet on EVS . and finally it paid off .
Currently The war ignite right now , Competition is good for customers . We hope all company embrace for Competition .
German auto companies have increased their investment in China and have in-depth cooperation with Chinese auto-related companies. Now the biggest decline in sales in China is Japanese cars, not German cars.
I thought that Germany lost that battle to Japan long time ago.
Not in China because the Chinese have a thing about the Japanese something to do with killing 30 million people in China and still don't acknowledge it to this day.
Have you seen net profit margins of BMW and Mercedes compared to Japanese carmakers? You must be joking
@@lozkko Tofaş Türk Otomobil Fabrikası have higher net profit margins than Tesla (and all behind Tesla) what's your point ?

@@byhyew true. So did China saved the German auto industry like it saved Buick?
Thank you China for making nice car more affordable. here in DW all are double standard and racism
😂😂Germans used to laugh at Tesla and China electric cars.
China uses economic influence as a weapon? Say that about yourself first and we can have a conversation
If you have competitive product, you will survive the competition. But without the Chinese market, it is impossible to roll out competitive products, especially for EV cars.
Mainland China and Taiwan are not neighboring countries. As a serious media, please don't make mistakes on common sense issues. Mainland China and Taiwan are two regions in a state of civil war, and both regions are regions of China.
I bet most of the western audience being brainwashed by the media like DW don't know Taiwan's official name is Republic Of China 😂

Chinese will not leave Mercedes-Benz behind because BAIC and Geely own almost 20% in Mercedes-Benz
没人在乎

German companies had a long time to start seriously inovate and transition to electric cars, but they preferred to stay ( and some still prefer) to keep on their old polluting and high maintenance cars. Their lack of investment and interest in programming and electronics didn't help at all. I dislike chinese politics but on this one they were right and their companies were amazing in moving forward without excuses

Don't GO to china if you want talk about democracy , not every country most practice democracy and why bring Taiwan issues Into auto businesses?
Your comment is a non sequitur (true statement from which it doesn't follow a logical conclusion). Regardless of what one takes on democracy is, Taiwan produces the majority of semiconductors. With Covid, there were chip shortages everywhere, and you couldn't get lots of goods, with massive waiting lists. Cars need lots of chips. How can you not think about Taiwan if you are in the business of making cars😂😂😂
@@lozkko they're talking about china aggressiveness towards Taiwan this is not business
@@questionmore4675 you are a company making cars. Let's suppose China invades Taiwan. Let's suppose you don't care as a country, and want to remain neutral. You still care about semiconductors. Taiwan's production of chips is disrupted, down say 70% and the Chinese obviously redirect the chips to local production. You should care for this reason, even if you don't give a fig 🤦🤦
你根本就不懂什么是民主，中国人的民主
You don't even understand what democracy is, Chinese democracyn
China's meritocracy vs western democracy , it's seems China's political model is more efficient because only the best talented people can be in political leadership
The name of the country Taiwan and four other islands is “Republic of China”, and their constitution and map includes mainland China.
So Germany victimizing itself because the student surpassed the master.
The United States often says that China has a war risk, which is the means it uses to cope with the competition with China
the irony is US is the greatest war risk to germany... you don't even need to be at war for them to bomb your pipeline and they will even make you shut up about it... xD
Germany is doomed one way or another
Are you serious? The future of cars is obviously the trend of electrification, only China and the United States are leading the way, while the traditional Germany and Japan have already lagged behind.
We are a Chinese and German couple in the US. Germany has always been great with older tech but has needed more software and semiconductor development than the US for years. One reason is that Germany is smaller than the US and China in terms of population.
My factory tour in southern China revealed a significant opportunity for collaboration. The Chinese high-speed rail engine, a product of German influence, is just one example. Today, Germany stands to gain from Chinese advancements in software, semiconductor technology, and AI.
China and Germany can coexist for the betterment of the world. German cars made in China can quickly be sold to Southeast Asia and India at lower costs. Many did not know the US has a so-called "Chicken Tax" on German cars sold in America.
As the leaders of the EU, Germany and China want to balance the US with the rest of the world since the US will never want to lose its number one power. The US proganada overblows the war on Taiwan with China.
The biggest threat to German car makers is Tesla, is Elon Musk, who can define the EVs industry now and future...It so sad that you can't realised this fact until today...it also partially explained why German car makers are doomed.
Tesla will be old news in a matter of a few years

What a sour grape man. Are you telling me that China is not allowed to be better than Germany for making cars? Come on man, Germany had made trillion dollars of profit from China by car sales, and China is smart enough to learn your car making technology and evolved. So, fair deal to me
It no longer makes sense to the Chinese to buy expensive German premium EV's from Benz, BMW and Audi. German car industry will only decline.
It is just like TBM......they have surged ahead German makers with price ( 50 % cheaper ),quality and services (7/24 live online technical service) beating them in export market hands down.
And now, following NorthAmerican stupidity of supporting Ukraine War and sactions , the situation for Germany will be worst. Remember also the incentives given to Industry by the American goverment. So the problem is not China but yes its ally.
In future, these German brands will either go out of business or be owned by China. I can see the day coming when Mercedes is a Chinese-owned brand (like Volvo and MG)
If invest in china is an increasing risky business, why the German manufactures are doubling down on investing in China? DW is talking rubbish.
40 years ago, the German automakers didn't have risky bet at all in China.

Btw… Tesla is still my favorite 😂😂😂
Germany and Europe in general is lagging behind compared to Japan, S. Korea and China when it comes to electronics and software systems. This did not happed yesterday, things are this way for decades and when cars started to include more and more electronics, and tend to rely less on mechanical systems, this problem is starting to get the attention from the general public. Europe needs to invest a lot into this and genuinely do a deep and humble study to figure out
1. Why European/German car electrics fall apart after a few years while Japanese electronics hold up (like super complex Toyota Prius)
2. Why East Asian softwares (car infotainment systems) feel much modern, things are laid out rationally utilising advanced tech while European/German cars' infotainment systems feel like they are still in dark ages. I am not insulting anyone, this is a reality Germany (my childhood hero car country) has to wake up to.
More videos like this and I am sure Germany will lose even more market share to the domestic and American car makers.
There is truth in the video but the tone is full of arrogance.
China is in the drivers seat, no pun intended
Who are u going to blame for the deindustrialisation strategy that resulted in shutting down of german auto industry?
Don’t worry about these silly EVs. Germany will always lead the world in the engineering of diesel defeat devices…
It’s too late. VW, BMW and Daimler are going bust.
watching this "news", is like watching horse cart manufacturer complaining about ford stealing their tech and replacing them
In my country (Europe) German car are still in the top 10 but top 3 are still French brands 😊
Then I guess you are french
Don't forget there are many German cars hiding behind some European brands such as Skoda and Seat.
Excellent brother... tell you friends not to support the end of your industry with Chinese cars. IF they come to US, people say they will destroy them on street which will mean insurance will no longer cover (happened with kia) and sales will plunge. .... so bring it CCP car
French manufacturers have more to fear from China as France produces no premium brands such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Their future is in doubt as they scramble for market share at the bottom of the pile. No-one “aspires” to own a French car. They are a commodity. I say this with a huge sense of regret but in future I doubt that the a French manufacturers will be able to compete against Chinese and other Eastern Asian manufacturers such as Vietnam. This will have a devastating effect on jobs in Europe and prosperity.

German car lack of karaoke app? Seriously baseless and subjective imagination. Even the German documentary tries to ignore the key problem. The German EV cars have the lowest battery density compared to the others and lack connectivity thinking. They are still hoping consumer buy their cars because of their brand, but VW can't even compete with Tesla. neither the quality nor the user experience.
EV is a disrupter. Everyone has to adjust to it. The process is going to be painful.
What kind of journalism is this? Contrast German cars with Chinese military parade. This is so low.
„If China today needs German carmakers“ I believe is the wrong question to ask, DW! The right question would be: why does the German government let its carmakers be the worst of capitalists; cry about toughening environmental regulations and threaten when EV transition is pushed on them, while they take record profits that do not benefit Germany or any of its allies in the biggest geopolitical chess game in human history?
The poor decision making, of the controlling entitled families that run German auto, will be almost nothing by the end of the decade!
Germany time is over
