Garbage brands like Ford were making profit in China simply because Chinese people held the belief that anything American is better quality. Not anymore.
Ford still has a strong presence in Europe, GM so-so. Sadly the traditional big three from Detroit have been playing catch up in terms of quality and innovation against both European and Asian brands for decades now and just can't seem to make any headway at all. So it's not all that surprising that Chinese manufacturers are not only gaining headway, but are fast becoming on par with their Japanese and Korean counter-parts. Jeremy Clarkson and James May of Top Gear & Grand Tour fame did a peioe on China's auto industry in 2012, they noted that the Chinese makers had gone from making what was basically a motorized three wheel tut-tut to somewhat decent knock off of European models who's quality at the time was close to but not quite there to European makers, but opined that if they had done that in less then 10 or so years, where would they be in ten years time? I think we now have our answer to that question.
Yeah, China knows how weak our manufacturing is which is why they are willing to confront the US in a war, the US simply doesn't make anything anymore.
you need to have heart to heart conversation with GM/Ford salesperson so they can convey the value of their cars. Just don't drink cool aid before you go there
@@themightybunbun3613 you can only afford what your importer thinks you can..... if you can only buy cheap things which means you're not rich enough to buy better quality ones
It’s because the so-called western free market is even more heavily controlled than China’s market. Protectionism and dumping of cheap goods in developing nations.
Nobody complain when European American Japanese cars flooded the Chinese market during the past 30 years . Now European American Japanese started blaming China of overcapacity of cars😮
@@rawwhide Actually, not safety problem but only political problem. Now EU allows BYD to get into the markete, i don't think American standards would be better than EU in safety.
Just 20 years ago, people thought China can only copy and replicate but not innovate. 20 years later, nearly every sector is being challenged or surpassed by China. Those who doubt the Chinese, don't really understand China. They have the scale, work ethic, and the brains to take the lead in nearly every industry. It's just a matter of time.
Stealing tech, not investing in r&d, exploiting employees harder than any other countries, ignoring all environment or other laws in production, no wonder the costs are low
It's true for many industries. America would shut down tomorrow if all the subsidies to the oil and food industry ends tomorrow. The thin veil of capitalism.
Well, all countries do this. If not for the high subsidies the Chinese government gives to EV's companies, they would all actually be bankrupt right now and fail domestically... in China. Chinese EV's are currently selling for about 1~2% profit domestically, and that's with the subsidies. Imagine if it's gone. They would not be able to survive their current price war domestically. Its also the reason why they are dumping so many in the international market, because the domestic Chinese market has basically reached saturation with the current economic conditions, so in order to keep up GDP values and their margin thin profit, they need to literally pump and dump internationally. All countries do this to protect domestic companies, not just the US. I'm pretty sure every single country has tariffs on foreign cars.
@@rebeltheharem70281. Chinese has already stopped subsidies for two years 😂 2. The subsidies did not differentiate brands, which means Tesla BMW or any other foreign brands producing EV received the subsidies as well,so it was a fair game
Ever notice how the media, when talking about "state support" in China will show pictures of police, for no real reason at all, but when talking about the same thing in the west will show video of hospitals and factories? Like, what exactly do Chinese cops have to do with government investment?
In China, soldiers are people who can be trusted unconditionally, and then the police. It's a pity that people in Europe and America can't understand this feeling.
Chinese automakers received $27 billion in subsidies to produce better vehicles, while General Motors and Chrysler received a $80 billion US bailout under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to avoid bankruptcy.
The big three will be right back at the trough by the end of the year begging for another bail out, and they will get another bag of tax dollars to squander.
China invested in its own development only a fraction of what US did on sparking wars in Middle East. And that brought outsized results to China. Imagine what the US would look like if it spent on its own people instead of creating human devastation.
@@jbcom2416manufactured in china but every part is from America(aside from rare earths, even the batteries are assembled in America and shipped to china for assembly), Chinese products are notoriously shotty these days. Manufacturing in China isn't as cheap as it used to be 30 years ago their economy is the 2nd largest in the world, so now to reach quotas certain manufactures use cheaper materials ultimately creating inferior products.
As a foreigner living in China , I have been driving a Chinese car, the Lynk & Co 06, for four years without any major problems. I can confidently say that the quality of Chinese cars is continuously improving. This progress is evident in their collaborations with major international brands such as BMW , Mercedes-Benz and more…
If you build a car or truck with a sewing machine for a motor and a pepsi can for a body,then make that auto un serviceable or expensive to repair, while you competitors are doing the opposite ,you can't fool the people forever, sales will eventually drop 👇 PS don't forget to change the style every other year and discontinue parts after 5 years ,to make them completely unaffordable
Just googled the said models you use for your daily commute, sleek looking nifty little SUV, with hints of the Porsche cayenne, but a fraction of the price and 4 year guaranteed service, i want one shipped to Nairobi, Kenya.
Very interesting, I have a Linkco 06 too. It's not a mainstream car here.No issues for 3years. I used to have Honda accord, Skoda Supber, Kia Sportage,Toyota Highlander, BMW 5 and AUDI Q7.Now I mainly drive LI L9, may buy another LinkCo or other Chinese EV in next 1-2years.
@@jackcarterog001 Not just government, no. Companies like Apple and Tesla actively lobby Congress so that innovative products and companies from China and elsewhere can't access the US market. Because it would signify the end of days for them.
You only saw half the story, Tesla is the other half, this piece glossed over Teslas ability to compete . This piece has a interview with a analyst who says the Chinese auto makers will soon know everything Tesla does and Tesla will go out of business- not at all, Tesla innovates constantly, the Chinese can copy but this constantly leaves them 1-3 years behind, the Chinese consumer knows this and loves Tesla.
Serpentza has a video of where the BYD sales numbers come from. Their exploding cars. If the Chinese prefer those options, then they should stick to their own cars.
The Video is correct. I was an Engineer at GM in the US in the 80s, went to Europe in the 80s-90s, and worked with Opel and mainly trained their Engineers on Tooling in Germany, and Spain. Worked in the 90s and 2000s in the US and Mexico doing the same. Then in 2003, I went to China to do the same. I helped to teach Chinese Engineers and Shops how to make high-quality tools for cars, after 10 years in China GM decided I was no longer required, so I was let go. No Job, No Money, My wife divorced me, the kids went on their way, out of college and I was left alone.😯
Hope you are doing ok now brother and I wish you peace and new purpose in life. I appreciate how you provided for your family all of those years, even if no one else does.
In year 2000, Japan exported 4.82 million cars globally while China exported 17 thousand. In 2010, it's 4.93 million vs 540,000. In 2022, it's 3.5 million vs 3.11 million. In 2023, China overtook Japan's 4.42 million exports with 4.91 million and became the largest car exporter by number. It's not just the US.
As a Chinese, I think it is unfair to blame subsidies and unfair competition for the current situation in China's auto industry. Our family bought a Buick lacrosse in 2017. At that time, no one would buy a Chinese car. Even if they did, they would buy a low-end model under $15,000. At that time, Buick had hybrid and pure electric products in the Chinese market, but only a small number of two or three. Starting from 2020, people are surprised to find that the domestic car has become better, while the product power of the joint venture brand has stagnating, Buick still has only two or three new energy options, the price of their old products has dropped significantly, and their product line has become chaotic, expecting to fill the profit gap through the market positioning strategy: this is a sign of recession. While Chinese automakers can still update their product lines once a year, it is clear that these joint ventures have done too well in the past, when they could only take a few models from the global market and sell well in China. Now the good times are over.
As a fellow African (South African), I agree with you. I'm glad much of our continent has a good relationship with China. The Chinese cars we have here are just so good compared to the European ones. Safer, more reliable, just as luxurious, better tech, more affordable... it's really a no-brainer in this day and age.
@@TD1237 You know what is the biggest surprise and the proof that crappy France cars are scared of Chinese cars! Just last year, Morocco have signed a BIG contract for China to start establishing a mega EVs manufacturing company in Morocco to start exporting to Africa with ease... However, to our surprise just last month, it was announced that Morocco have retreated from the agreement under France's Pressure since they are the biggest cars manufacturers in Morocco . But times are changing and hopefully we will have Chinese cars made here soon.
The pattern was clear years ago. When I was working in China in the late 1980s, I remember how foreign companies were falling over themselves to get into the local market. They could operate tax-free (as I recall anyway) for five years but the proviso was they had to teach the Chinese how to make product. The foreign companies made buckets of money. Then, the student surpassed the master. It was foretold.
That's still worth it in my opinion. I wish I could make buckets of money for 5 years tax free. If I'm not mistaken, the land for the factories was also free for most of them. In some cases, the local governments even paid for their electricity!!
Well, the foreign companies have not taught the essential part of the technology. When the santana model first introduced in China, all components were made in Germany, and the local Chinese firms only put them together. It is because the Chinese companies found that they learned exactly nothing seriously from foreign companies in legacy auto makers, that they began to invest in EVs
I live in Uzbekistan, here GM has joint venture as well, and they agreed with government to set up so much protected monopoly market of GM. Ordinary people of Uzbekistan has been suffering from this GM monopoly. Because we don't have any other choice than buying the crap expensive GM cars. Shame on you GM. American companies are not playing fair, they bribe Uzbekistan government to facilitate the Full monopoly of GM.
The US car manufacturing industry is suffering the same problem as Boeing. The "greed is good" mentality of the 1980's led to bean counters from the MBA programs dominating management and insisting on short term gain over quality, safety and the long-term viability of the firms. 🤔
One of the reasons China fares better is that executive compensation and dividends are quite lower as a percentage of revenues for Chinese firms. Less money siphoned out to already rich people, more money for expansion, R&D, lowering prices, etc. More so for state-owned firms. Executive pay at state-owned Chinese firms seems to be capped at less than 10x what the average employee earns, which is a tiny fraction of what CEOs earn in most developed countries.
Yep started in the 60's but hit its peak in the 80's and 90's. They thought they could keep profiting off of malaise era cars, then wondered why no body was buying their cars as their traditional customers were heading into nursing homes and the Japanese got really good at making durable economy cars that people actually wanted, same with the Koreans in the 00's to the point where they took a huge chunk of the eco market from names like Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan and even Honda to an extent.
If you want a big vehicle which most Americans do purchase than American automakers are a great choice. The problem is that American automakers are no longer cost competitive a nice truck is 80K USD which is just out of reach for most Americans
@@dennisp8520 If you want a big vehicle a toyota hilux is an even better choice but you won't see those because the US government doesn't like the free market.
Except that the price will rise considerably. The 10k Seagull would never be allowed on our markets as it does not comply with our safety standards. Take the Dacia Spring, a small, electric car that originated in China and has been on sale in Europe for a few years now. But the price difference between the Chinese and European version is enormous.
As a car enthusiast since 1992, I never thought I'd even consider a Chinese car. Now, I look at Chinese car market everyday, and most of my favorite cars are Chinese brands! Just 5 years ago I had zero interest in Chinese cars! My current favorite Chinese cars are: Hyper GT, Xiaomi SU7, Jiyue 07, MG Cyberster, iCAR V23, Landian E5, Jiyue 01, and Venucia VX6.
And now Afghanistan is already being free from the American invasion after the Afghan people kicked out the American army. This shows that no countries interested with the American hegemony anymore. 😁

Flying Car is available and certified in China this year, all systems go for consumer market. Detroit big three don‘t have to worry about Electric battery anymore, but start thinking how to "Fly". 😂
As an American Ford Fusion owner, I'm embarrassed by American car companies. Americans have treated the car industry like fast food. Low quality at high prices. America is getting what they deserve.
As a Chinese, I think American car brands have never been mainstream in the Chinese market. In the era of fuel vehicles, American cars have always been synonymous with high fuel consumption. Entering the new energy era, American car brands are lagging far behind.
Aren't there a good amount of people in China that are financially well off and can afford to pay more for gas?...I'd love to visit China if relations between China and the US was better. I'm curious of the new cities and ghost cities.
@@filippocorti6760 Fuel economy is an important reference indicator for Chinese consumers when purchasing gasoline vehicles. Firstly, China is still a developing country with a per capita GDP less than one-sixth of that of the US, and more than 600 million people earn less than 140 USD per month. Due to the significant wealth gap, a small portion of the population is very wealthy, but the majority do not have strong economic power. Secondly, many of the older generation in China lived through the era of massive scarcity and hunger in the last century, especially during the 60s and the 70s. For them, and the generation educated by them, "frugality" remains a virtue recognized by mainstream society. Given a choice, many would opt for options that consume less. Lastly, China's rapid development has been built, to a certain extent, on the hard work and sacrifices of its people. Many are burdened with mortgages and car loans, and need to support the elderly and raise children. These individuals are the main demographic for car purchases. For them, choosing vehicles with better fuel economy is a natural choice. Welcome to China! Well, under propaganda of conflict between China and US, many Chinese may have preconceived notions about America, but I'd say overall, Chinese people are friendly to people from other countries. Cities like Shanghai, as well as the new cities and ghost cities, are actually located in some of the more economically developed provinces of China, where you should be able to have a good travel experience.
@@filippocorti6760I think it’s just because the base number is big. On the other hand the proportion of rich people are still small and the biggest consumer of vehicles are still middle class families

As a Chinese, My first car was a 2013 Ford Focus, maed in China. Apart from a few brake light bulbs and tire changes, it never had any issues and is still serving my father-in-law. The second one was a 2017 BMW X3, made in South Carolina, USA. I had to replace the turbocharger, transmission controller, and window glass motor. Now, I've ordered an ATIO M9 HEV and am awaiting delivery.
Mercedes Benz, or at least the ones made in the US, are even more trouble than BMW...I'd like to drive a Chinese car to see what it is like. Also, a Russian Lada.
And? Those 600 families run companies that provide jobs, goods, and services. The tax revenue their companies and workers generate will pay for those infrastructure improvements.
For regions like Hong Kong that do not produce EVs, we are delighted to import what are known as overcapacity EVs. As for those regions producing EVs, you have two options: either increase your productivity or raise tariffs to protect your auto industry in the short term. However, in the long run, good luck to you.
Not well researched though. They made a lot of basic errors like stating TikTok is a top social media platform in China (TikTok does not operate in China)
A friend of mine who’s an auto engineer works for an auto part manufacturer in Windsor, Ontario here in Canada, told me never to buy American made vehicles as he sees the quality of auto parts declines and defect rates soar over recent years. It’s such an irony.

American car manufacturers must control their car parts by manufacturing very competitive car parts in the US and not import the. Fro other countries with questionable qualities.
As a Chinese, I got my drive lisence In February of this year. My driving school instructors are brothers. The yonger one drove an EV, while the elder one criticized EV sharply and suggested us students not buying EV🤣 Everyone in this world can probably tell you that 'not to do/buy something', and you don't have to take every words seriously. Just as the saying goes: Don't listen to what people say; watch what they do.
US car brands enjoyed a tremendous reputation in China for a good while. Largely because there were no local alternatives. But let’s be realistic; there was never any doubt that China’s domestic manufacturers would dominate their market.
👍 A lesson for CNBC or any other mainstream media: people are not stupid. Biased or inaccurate reports will only harm their credibility. Knowing the truth is always the best regardless of your emotions or political stance.
I mean just GM has been in China for over 25 years and were making upwards of 2 BILLION dollars PER YEAR just in profits. Multiply that by 10 for all the other major western carmakers who set up shop in China over the decades. That's a wealth transfer of literally hundreds of billions of dollars from Chinese consumers to all these companies. It's not like the Chinese got good at building cars for free here.
I am a Chinese. I bought the Ford BRONCO. It is produced in Hangzhou and the city where I work. The factory here also produces engines and gearboxes for export to the United States. In fact, it is true that people around me have bought a lot of American fuel cars in the past few years, but American fuel trucks began to decline about four years ago. A big reason for this is the emergence of Tesla MODLE 3, and people around us began to buy Tesla in large quantities because the electricity bill is very low but the oil price is very high. It costs only $30 a month to recharge, but it costs $230to use gasoline. At that time, Chinese trams could not compete with Tesla. Three years ago, Chinese car brands developed many tram platforms. Now many brands SMART, Toyota's BZ3, BMW mini and Volvo are actually Chinese electric platforms. They have just changed their shells and LOGO. In fact, Americans don't have to worry about it at all, because most of the software in the car is American, including intelligent driving chips, many cars are LUINX, and the chips are Nvidia and Qualcomm. As far as I know, Chinese chips are only used in cars under $30, 000, and Tesla is still ahead of the market share in China. The problem is that without a second Tesla, many Detroit brands have become outdated and unenterprising. Many American politicians are unwilling to face this, creating a lot of ideas that China is a beast. Every time I watch American news, I think about it. Are there many Ford and JEEP in Europe and Japan? I hardly saw one when I went on a trip, but it can be seen everywhere on the streets of China. In the past, China did not have overcapacity to produce socks and Santa Claus, but now it is said that we have overcapacity to build car phones. When I was in high school, I had an American couple who taught me English, showed us American movies and played GTA and Blizzard games for us at school. At that time, I thought the United States was the most advanced and democratic country in the world, but now I think the United States is a domineering country, always irrationally demonizing us.
This is actually a pretty honest and informative post. A refreshing read. Totally different from the rest of WUMAO trash. I would like to point out that, American news is mostly useless, especially when it comes from politicians. Most of our politicians are very low quality these days. Best not to judge us by the crappy news you read.
Americans generally don't conflate people with their governments like other cultures, so any demonizing you may feel is probably more directed toward the government than you. America has the highest number of Chinese people outside of China itself. And the problems facing Tesla are numerous, but your point about the cost, do you know that if you buy a new Tesla in the US you get a federal credit of $7500? That means that whatever price you see Tesla selling for in the US means it actually cost $7500 because most of the time, the news is only going to publish the price after that credit. The fact that EVs still cost more than gasoline cars is bigger part of why Detroit is slower to compete with Tesla. That federal credit could go away with very little warning.

And we all know Tesla won't stand a chance of beating Chinese EV brands in Taiwan once BYD is allowed to sell their super affordable and competitive EVs here.
Currently residing in China, I’ve observed a significant shift in automotive preferences among the locals. The majority are opting for more fuel-efficient, affordable, and reliable vehicles. Brands like BYD and Roway are leading the charge, crafting well-built cars that meet these demands. Tesla’s establishment of a Gigafactory in Shanghai has notably accelerated advancements in car battery technology and automation in electric vehicles (EVs). These EVs are not only fast and efficient but also perfectly suited to the urban lifestyle here, where cities are densely populated and everything is relatively close by. Unlike in the U.S., where long-distance travel demands more fuel consumption, the compact urban environments in China make EVs and smaller, efficient cars a practical choice. Moreover, the build quality and quality control of these vehicles are exceptional. Priced around US$10,000, these cars offer formidable build quality at a fraction of the cost of Japanese models, which, despite their fuel efficiency, often fall short in terms of handling and overall build. In contrast, American cars suffer from high import taxes and poor quality issues, making them less appealing here. It’s clear why these cost-effective, well-crafted local cars are becoming the preferred choice among Chinese consumers.

The US anti-China policy of "High Fence, Small garden" championed by Sullivan & Blinken will be wildly successful. The high fence will prevent China from importing its EV into the US market directly, but the US market will become the small garden that American car-makers are contained in.

13:45 It’s a bias that Chinese customers don’t like American cars. When I was in Shanghai, my first was a Chevr, and then a Buick. American cars still been chosen by a lot of people in China. Nowadays, the reason why GM sales declines is that the they can’t keep up with their Chinese peers. The hybrid cars(BYD Qin&Roewe D5X) in China with 10kwh battery cost less than 20k USD.

You know, I'm starting to think that the US is attempting to do what they do to South American countries and Middle Eastern ones when they aren't doing what's is expected from them. Except, China is no small country that can be bullied into what the US says.
The Dominating Club of the world is called G7, keep all the global south countries poor, and supply cheap goods and raw materials and energy, and they stay on top of the food chain like a king. However this is changing because of China. We Chinese ppl never bow down to bullying imperialism, and we are well organized to work hard towards one goal, to make China great again like where she stood for 5000 years.
That's very true. I bought a BYD car 3 years ago for 140k RMB (~20K usd) and it's still working perfectly. I think I would need to spend over 40k for the same quality if I chose Japanese or US brands...

I watched a report that the price of Toyota Corolla is around $12,500 in China. It's $25,000 in US. If the Chinese cars are allowed to enter US market with no hefty duty, the inflation will go down fast. However, whoever wants to do it may lose the election.

The main difference between European and Asian companies and American companies is that the former aim to build better products, invest more in R&D, and focus on the long term, whereas American companies only think about the next fiscal quarter and how to appease their shareholders. Boeing gutted R&D, and its quality deteriorated over time, with bean counters from MBA programs heavily involved in management prioritizing short-term gains over the long term. It's crazy how Boeing went from one of the best companies in the aircraft industry to a company that cuts corners and endangers people due to its low-quality aircraft. The only aim of American companies is to see how to rip off customers the most. They cut down any form of competition in the USA to maintain dominance and artificially bump up the value of their products.
Boeing’s is sabotage at the greatest level. If you don’t see the writing on the wall, then look closely and clearly. EVs (exploding vehicles) and planes are being mass-produced to flood USA and other countries. Some folks are being bought off big, big time. The world takeover will not be militarily but every other means possible.
The main problem of US companies is that they make every single decision thinking about the shareholders first; Boeing gutted research, development and equality control. Now the company is in a nose dive. While everyone was researching 5G technology, AT&T and Verizon were ALSO gutting R&D in favour of purchasing stream services, media rights and giving higher bonuses to the CEO.... That's becoming a trend in every sector. Even tech companies started laying off massive amounts of employees while reporting record profits.

China has been prepared EV technology since 1990s. One of the top scientists of China (Qian Xuesen, one of the cofounders of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory) wrote a letter to the central government and suggest focus on EV technology in 1992. That's why Tesla can start using Chinese supply chain very quick after their Shanghai factory was built because everything was already there and just need to be polished by the market. There weren't too many patents registered in the 1990-2020 in the EV related industries, so Chinese companies don't need to spend extra money and time to find a way to avoid the existing patents like the ICE cars. Many electric related patents like the electric motors were already registered by Chinese electric parts companies originally for bullet trains or other industrial vehicles which can be bought easily with no competition situations.
WELL if you watch closely many of the footage used in this video supposed to show the cutting edge technologies in China are from decades ago😂 The peoples clothes and the factory layout haha
Meanwhile, CATL (the biggest EV battery maker in the world, and Chinese) is talking about offering a battery warranty of 1.5 million kilometers (932 thousand miles) for its newer battery models.
@@FabioCapela chinese warranty is not worth the paper it is written on. Just look at how the Chinese ppl are killed and upset with the garbage quality of Chinese cars. The airbags don't even go off. That happens outside China the Chinese will be sued and go bankrupt paying out lawsuits
They're planned obsolescence. The "trickle down" mafia run corporations hire engineers not to make them the best they can be but to deliberately "engineer" them to fail at 100,000 miles so you're forced to buy another. All while charging you 50K or even 100K. This is a big problem with the way the "trickle down" mafia runs everything in the US, FAKE "markets." FAKE "markets" cannot compete globally. Notice Toyota competes globally because they don't do this planned obsolescence. People aren't totally stupid especially around the world as a whole.
I don’t see how American car manufacturers want to enter other countries while making it difficult for other car manufacturers to enter America (BYD) 100% tariff.

Hi, I am from India. So, I have this Mi phone. We bought it for a cheaper price (almost like 10,000 INR) and also it has good user interface, the battery came for almost 5 years. Would have come longer if I had cared for it even more. Replaced it. Still works good as new. I was genuinely shocked when I realised it is a Chinese product.
I find CNBC videos generally to be poorly researched and inaccurate. This was an exception. However, a few things that were missed. First of all, Buick was successful in China (and not Cadillac) for a very specific reason. Famously, Zhou Enlai had a Buick and this marque was considered the most prestigious brand of automobile for decades, but unfortunately, GM missed this and introduced low-end, poor quality Buick vehicles into the market with this Brand and completely destroyed the brand image (albeit it worked well for a while as average Chinese families were wowed that THEY could drive a Buick). It then tried to introduce Cadillac, which in China had significantly less brand value. This was a huge mistake. I think westerners underestimate how powerful the Chinese government is in altering buying behaviour patterns. Using very subtle messaging, they can dramatically alter what Chinese people buy and as I write this it's becoming more and more apparent that the US is out of favour as they continue to bully China. As this video suggests, VW could survive, but I think the American companies are done and it was all self-inflicted. Joe Biden personally has to take some of the blame for this as does Donald Trump. The problem for these companies is that it's becoming ever more apparent that in order to compete globally, the product needs to be built in China, like Tesla is doing. So any tariffs put in place affect not only Chinese companies but also western companies that produce in China, hence the reason that VW and Mercedes-Benz are pushing back against EU tariffs.
Excellent points. I might add that certain models of Buicks in the past were actually reliable cars. Yes that unfortunately is not the case with other models or cars. The US really needs to get away from planned obsolescence, if we want to compete globally.
Technologically, US cars are left too much behind. Now BYD just launch their new Hybrid cars that can travel 2000km (1250 miles) on full fuel, without recharging. It only USD 19,000 in China. Very low fuel consumption. Anything close?
My family used to love American cars. My very first car was a Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, my dad drove a Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d'elegance, and my wife first car was a Dodge Neon sports. And we bought them brand new. However, the quality were so crappy that the cars literally fell apart in about 3 years.
If the US doesn’t allow China cars being sold in the US then so does China don’t want American cars to be sold in China. The feeling is mutual, nothing personal just business decisions. If you don’t allow Huawei or other Chinese branded phones then they’ll also stop buying Apple iPhones and the list goes on and on. Chrysler, Ford and GM have the worst reliability among European, Japan and Korean brands anyways.
Tesla, Apple etc were popular in China. American brands were never banned in China, at least at government level. While the Chinese government has expressed their anger towards US sanctions against China, they welcome all American businesses. This promoted investment and healthy competition.
@@boli1435 Western car manufacturers could only sell and produce their cars in China if they joined forces with Chinese companies and taught them how to make better cars. This is not a real competition.
If Chinese only buys Chinese brands China wouldn't have became VW and GM's largest revenue source for all those years. Chinese buys the best cars, and right now the best cars are China, it's that simple. It's only Americans, and only some Americans who'd pay extra for American made trash.
Except the Chinese consumers actively chose to pay more for foreign brands such as VW, Buick, and even Japanese brands such as Toyota and Honda for DECADES. Why are they just now switching to Chinese brands. Nationalism might play a part, sure, but the fact of the matter is Chinese brands are simply just as good, if not better, than western brands, and on the EV side, they are easily better.
It is not true . In fact Chinese Market is OPEN to all international brand . Many brands including local brand faded out because of fierce competition , lack of performance , not because they are from oversea brand .
The key here is their emphasis on EV, they will be the new superpower, they own battery, solar and can make EVs, they have a better foundation that US and Europe. I think it really sucked for them to get to this point but they will be leaders and drag US and Europe along for the ride.
I am 68. My last American car was a 1993 Ford Explorer. It was built on a truck chassis. And it drove like a truck. My wife refused to drive it. We traded it in for the Cash for Clunkers program. Purchased a brand new 2009 Honda CRV. I have not purchased an American car since. My girl just purchased a 2021 Tesla Model 3 brand new in 2021. We still have her 1997 Honda Accord 200K miles. My 2009 Honda Crv 196K miles and my 2019 Honda Ridgeline 45k miles. The Ridgeline has had several recalls. I am done with the newer Honda vehicles. They are not built with the same quality as they use to be.
Chinese cars are good and cheap. While I was in South Africa, my cousins drove brands I had never heard of like Haval. They were really nice! I’d buy one if they were available in the US.
In India, American companies in the early naughts were selling cars at a fraction of the American sale price - the implication being they were over-inflating prices in rich countries. Then as India grew richer, so did the price. This "price gouging" worked as long as local companies offered inferior cars (even at cheaper prices). Once the technological gap narrowed, there was no reason to buy these cars at their over-inflated price points.
bring it on China! this is what the USA wants! we need more innovation and cheaper more affordable vehicles the consumer stands to benefit greatly from this WORK HARDER AMERICA! we have to keep up with China if we want to remain the #1 superpower not only in military butt in the open market as well... so yeah as an American I'm happy because the Chinese and the American people all stand to benefit greatly from real competition!
@@danielzhang1916 They can do that but it will cost them most of their exports. If EU carmakers can't compete with the Chinese ones even when they have the homefield advantage (much smaller transport costs, the buy local sentiment), then they haven't got even a shred of hope of competing with the Chinese elsewhere. And losing their export market would be a very heavy blow for EU carmakers even if they get to keep local sales.

Meanwhile, the best paid BYD executive earns less than 1/20 of what the GM CEO does. Less money wasted on executives, more money for things like R&D and expansion.
When the top is corrupt, it's just a matter of time before its values trickle down the system. And this isn't only concerning the Detroit big 3 but the country's (eg: US) values as a whole.

@sandponics Nope. They are managing to make a profit on a $10K car, and are doing that and increasing revenues and profits year-over-year even while executing a pretty aggressive expansion plan that should see multiple factories starting production around the world in the next few years; Brazil's is starting production before the end of the year, for example. There are even initial plans for a factory in Mexico to guarantee no US-made car, not even regular gasoline models, will be able to compete on price in Mexico with Mexico-made BYD EVs. Looks pretty impressive to me. At this rate BYD will soon surpass Ford on global volumes - if it hasn't already - and should be on track to challenge GM, and perhaps even VW, before the end of the decade. Incidentally, here in Brazil BYD is already selling some 8x more than Ford (though, to be fair, Ford gave up on local production some time ago - BYD even took over Ford's old factory - and only imports cars). And that isn't just EVs, but rather total cars.
Well, American automakers are failing in Canada also. More and more people are buying Asian autos, though no Chinese autos are here yet. American autos' quality sucks, for decades. When quality fails, sales fail gradually.

The Big Three in the USA quit innovating. They decided to subcontract, and let others be their parts suppliers. The bidding process left little to negotiate. They wanted OEMs to produce, not build better parts. They relied on their past achievement, building big cars and trucks with high profits. Left the affordable vehicle market to foreign corporations. The foreign corporations innovated to produce high-quality, affordable vehicles, to dominate the US market with unit sales. The huge profits were repatriated to their home countries. MBAs in US elite universities were taught financial management but did not learn how to manage a workforce, nor the engineering skills to be leaders in manufacturing.

America. Why would they do any better in other countries?
well, anti Murica sentiments are raising in China. Its because you created the hatred. Many Chinese are stopping to buy Murican brands.
amen
Garbage brands like Ford were making profit in China simply because Chinese people held the belief that anything American is better quality. Not anymore.
Ford still has a strong presence in Europe, GM so-so. Sadly the traditional big three from Detroit have been playing catch up in terms of quality and innovation against both European and Asian brands for decades now and just can't seem to make any headway at all. So it's not all that surprising that Chinese manufacturers are not only gaining headway, but are fast becoming on par with their Japanese and Korean counter-parts.
Jeremy Clarkson and James May of Top Gear & Grand Tour fame did a peioe on China's auto industry in 2012, they noted that the Chinese makers had gone from making what was basically a motorized three wheel tut-tut to somewhat decent knock off of European models who's quality at the time was close to but not quite there to European makers, but opined that if they had done that in less then 10 or so years, where would they be in ten years time? I think we now have our answer to that question.
Yeah, China knows how weak our manufacturing is which is why they are willing to confront the US in a war, the US simply doesn't make anything anymore.

Well, all countries do this. If not for the high subsidies the Chinese government gives to EV's companies, they would all actually be bankrupt right now and fail domestically... in China.
Chinese EV's are currently selling for about 1~2% profit domestically, and that's with the subsidies. Imagine if it's gone. They would not be able to survive their current price war domestically.
Its also the reason why they are dumping so many in the international market, because the domestic Chinese market has basically reached saturation with the current economic conditions, so in order to keep up GDP values and their margin thin profit, they need to literally pump and dump internationally.
All countries do this to protect domestic companies, not just the US. I'm pretty sure every single country has tariffs on foreign cars.

As a Chinese, I think it is unfair to blame subsidies and unfair competition for the current situation in China's auto industry. Our family bought a Buick lacrosse in 2017. At that time, no one would buy a Chinese car. Even if they did, they would buy a low-end model under $15,000. At that time, Buick had hybrid and pure electric products in the Chinese market, but only a small number of two or three. Starting from 2020, people are surprised to find that the domestic car has become better, while the product power of the joint venture brand has stagnating, Buick still has only two or three new energy options, the price of their old products has dropped significantly, and their product line has become chaotic, expecting to fill the profit gap through the market positioning strategy: this is a sign of recession. While Chinese automakers can still update their product lines once a year, it is clear that these joint ventures have done too well in the past, when they could only take a few models from the global market and sell well in China. Now the good times are over.

The pattern was clear years ago. When I was working in China in the late 1980s, I remember how foreign companies were falling over themselves to get into the local market. They could operate tax-free (as I recall anyway) for five years but the proviso was they had to teach the Chinese how to make product. The foreign companies made buckets of money. Then, the student surpassed the master. It was foretold.

Well, the foreign companies have not taught the essential part of the technology.

One of the reasons China fares better is that executive compensation and dividends are quite lower as a percentage of revenues for Chinese firms. Less money siphoned out to already rich people, more money for expansion, R&D, lowering prices, etc.
More so for state-owned firms. Executive pay at state-owned Chinese firms seems to be capped at less than 10x what the average employee earns, which is a tiny fraction of what CEOs earn in most developed countries.
Yep started in the 60's but hit its peak in the 80's and 90's. They thought they could keep profiting off of malaise era cars, then wondered why no body was buying their cars as their traditional customers were heading into nursing homes and the Japanese got really good at making durable economy cars that people actually wanted, same with the Koreans in the 00's to the point where they took a huge chunk of the eco market from names like Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan and even Honda to an extent.

@@filippocorti6760 Fuel economy is an important reference indicator for Chinese consumers when purchasing gasoline vehicles.
Firstly, China is still a developing country with a per capita GDP less than one-sixth of that of the US, and more than 600 million people earn less than 140 USD per month. Due to the significant wealth gap, a small portion of the population is very wealthy, but the majority do not have strong economic power.
Secondly, many of the older generation in China lived through the era of massive scarcity and hunger in the last century, especially during the 60s and the 70s. For them, and the generation educated by them, "frugality" remains a virtue recognized by mainstream society. Given a choice, many would opt for options that consume less.
Lastly, China's rapid development has been built, to a certain extent, on the hard work and sacrifices of its people. Many are burdened with mortgages and car loans, and need to support the elderly and raise children. These individuals are the main demographic for car purchases. For them, choosing vehicles with better fuel economy is a natural choice.
Welcome to China! Well, under propaganda of conflict between China and US, many Chinese may have preconceived notions about America, but I'd say overall, Chinese people are friendly to people from other countries. Cities like Shanghai, as well as the new cities and ghost cities, are actually located in some of the more economically developed provinces of China, where you should be able to have a good travel experience.

The chickens have come home to roost for the short term focused American management.
Corporate Bonuses are paid out in the short term.
I mean just GM has been in China for over 25 years and were making upwards of 2 BILLION dollars PER YEAR just in profits. Multiply that by 10 for all the other major western carmakers who set up shop in China over the decades. That's a wealth transfer of literally hundreds of billions of dollars from Chinese consumers to all these companies. It's not like the Chinese got good at building cars for free here.
CEOs who made those decisions made a lot of money for their shareholders and are now enjoying retirement. No one cares what happens 30 years later.
I am a Chinese. I bought the Ford BRONCO. It is produced in Hangzhou and the city where I work. The factory here also produces engines and gearboxes for export to the United States. In fact, it is true that people around me have bought a lot of American fuel cars in the past few years, but American fuel trucks began to decline about four years ago. A big reason for this is the emergence of Tesla MODLE 3, and people around us began to buy Tesla in large quantities because the electricity bill is very low but the oil price is very high. It costs only $30 a month to recharge, but it costs $230to use gasoline. At that time, Chinese trams could not compete with Tesla. Three years ago, Chinese car brands developed many tram platforms. Now many brands SMART, Toyota's BZ3, BMW mini and Volvo are actually Chinese electric platforms. They have just changed their shells and LOGO. In fact, Americans don't have to worry about it at all, because most of the software in the car is American, including intelligent driving chips, many cars are LUINX, and the chips are Nvidia and Qualcomm. As far as I know, Chinese chips are only used in cars under $30, 000, and Tesla is still ahead of the market share in China. The problem is that without a second Tesla, many Detroit brands have become outdated and unenterprising. Many American politicians are unwilling to face this, creating a lot of ideas that China is a beast. Every time I watch American news, I think about it. Are there many Ford and JEEP in Europe and Japan? I hardly saw one when I went on a trip, but it can be seen everywhere on the streets of China. In the past, China did not have overcapacity to produce socks and Santa Claus, but now it is said that we have overcapacity to build car phones. When I was in high school, I had an American couple who taught me English, showed us American movies and played GTA and Blizzard games for us at school. At that time, I thought the United States was the most advanced and democratic country in the world, but now I think the United States is a domineering country, always irrationally demonizing us.
This is actually a pretty honest and informative post. A refreshing read. Totally different from the rest of WUMAO trash.
I would like to point out that, American news is mostly useless, especially when it comes from politicians. Most of our politicians are very low quality these days. Best not to judge us by the crappy news you read.
Americans generally don't conflate people with their governments like other cultures, so any demonizing you may feel is probably more directed toward the government than you. America has the highest number of Chinese people outside of China itself.
And the problems facing Tesla are numerous, but your point about the cost, do you know that if you buy a new Tesla in the US you get a federal credit of $7500? That means that whatever price you see Tesla selling for in the US means it actually cost $7500 because most of the time, the news is only going to publish the price after that credit. The fact that EVs still cost more than gasoline cars is bigger part of why Detroit is slower to compete with Tesla. That federal credit could go away with very little warning.

Thank you for the interesting material, I will look forward to the continuation.
Currently residing in China, I’ve observed a significant shift in automotive preferences among the locals. The majority are opting for more fuel-efficient, affordable, and reliable vehicles. Brands like BYD and Roway are leading the charge, crafting well-built cars that meet these demands. Tesla’s establishment of a Gigafactory in Shanghai has notably accelerated advancements in car battery technology and automation in electric vehicles (EVs). These EVs are not only fast and efficient but also perfectly suited to the urban lifestyle here, where cities are densely populated and everything is relatively close by. Unlike in the U.S., where long-distance travel demands more fuel consumption, the compact urban environments in China make EVs and smaller, efficient cars a practical choice. Moreover, the build quality and quality control of these vehicles are exceptional. Priced around US$10,000, these cars offer formidable build quality at a fraction of the cost of Japanese models, which, despite their fuel efficiency, often fall short in terms of handling and overall build. In contrast, American cars suffer from high import taxes and poor quality issues, making them less appealing here. It’s clear why these cost-effective, well-crafted local cars are becoming the preferred choice among Chinese consumers.

The US anti-China policy of "High Fence, Small garden" championed by Sullivan & Blinken will be wildly successful. The high fence will prevent China from importing its EV into the US market directly, but the US market will become the small garden that American car-makers are contained in.

The main difference between European and Asian companies and American companies is that the former aim to build better products, invest more in R&D, and focus on the long term, whereas American companies only think about the next fiscal quarter and how to appease their shareholders. Boeing gutted R&D, and its quality deteriorated over time, with bean counters from MBA programs heavily involved in management prioritizing short-term gains over the long term. It's crazy how Boeing went from one of the best companies in the aircraft industry to a company that cuts corners and endangers people due to its low-quality aircraft. The only aim of American companies is to see how to rip off customers the most. They cut down any form of competition in the USA to maintain dominance and artificially bump up the value of their products.
Yet the US is an economic and military super power and Europe is basically nothing.
Boeing knew well they don't need to invest in R&D because they threw it to NASA. So the board there only focus on squeezing cost.
Boeing’s is sabotage at the greatest level. If you don’t see the writing on the wall, then look closely and clearly. EVs (exploding vehicles) and planes are being mass-produced to flood USA and other countries. Some folks are being bought off big, big time. The world takeover will not be militarily but every other means possible.
You are 200 percent correct about corporate America only thinking about the next fiscal quarter !!! The Chinese are going to eat their lunch now .
The main problem of US companies is that they make every single decision thinking about the shareholders first; Boeing gutted research, development and equality control. Now the company is in a nose dive.
While everyone was researching 5G technology, AT&T and Verizon were ALSO gutting R&D in favour of purchasing stream services, media rights and giving higher bonuses to the CEO....
That's becoming a trend in every sector. Even tech companies started laying off massive amounts of employees while reporting record profits.
A good factual, practical report.
What is also not mentioned here is the vast number of engineers that china is and has been educating.
while most other children polled in US wants to be a TH-camr/influencer(without effort) or TikToker (TikTok banned likely cos of Israel Genocide)...
Who know what a woman is
Therefore, in china, the salary of engineers is generally very low, unfortunately I am one of them😂😂😂
As a Chinese who loves my country, this unbiased, objective report on Chinese EV industry from an American media is hardly seen in these years. And it resurges my respect for American journalism.

Dont let a few Sprinkle of 'fair' reporting trick ppl to give over any respect or trust. Thats how some cunning manulpators try to keep tricking people, like using trojan horses, to make people let their guard down. Always expose and call out any dirty Lies and Projections from MSM
China has been prepared EV technology since 1990s. One of the top scientists of China (Qian Xuesen, one of the cofounders of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory) wrote a letter to the central government and suggest focus on EV technology in 1992. That's why Tesla can start using Chinese supply chain very quick after their Shanghai factory was built because everything was already there and just need to be polished by the market. There weren't too many patents registered in the 1990-2020 in the EV related industries, so Chinese companies don't need to spend extra money and time to find a way to avoid the existing patents like the ICE cars. Many electric related patents like the electric motors were already registered by Chinese electric parts companies originally for bullet trains or other industrial vehicles which can be bought easily with no competition situations.
China's plan was to steal Japanese/Korean battery technologies.
Quality, quality, quality!
Rarely a fair report without political bias, way to go CNBC
This coverage was good and fair.
WELL if you watch closely many of the footage used in this video supposed to show the cutting edge technologies in China are from decades ago😂 The peoples clothes and the factory layout haha
CNBC good
They showed wrong map of china
as an American i avoid American cars. i love them but i know they will fail me. they don't even last 100k
Meanwhile, CATL (the biggest EV battery maker in the world, and Chinese) is talking about offering a battery warranty of 1.5 million kilometers (932 thousand miles) for its newer battery models.
Why do you "love them" if they fail so quickly?
@@XDF745 some actually look good.
@@FabioCapela chinese warranty is not worth the paper it is written on. Just look at how the Chinese ppl are killed and upset with the garbage quality of Chinese cars. The airbags don't even go off. That happens outside China the Chinese will be sued and go bankrupt paying out lawsuits
They're planned obsolescence. The "trickle down" mafia run corporations hire engineers not to make them the best they can be but to deliberately "engineer" them to fail at 100,000 miles so you're forced to buy another. All while charging you 50K or even 100K. This is a big problem with the way the "trickle down" mafia runs everything in the US, FAKE "markets." FAKE "markets" cannot compete globally. Notice Toyota competes globally because they don't do this planned obsolescence. People aren't totally stupid especially around the world as a whole.
I don’t see how American car manufacturers want to enter other countries while making it difficult for other car manufacturers to enter America (BYD) 100% tariff.
China needs to build their car factories here for a fair price competition.
@@maninscrubdallas8694 I am sure China will do that but the thing is it will become expensive if they manufacture in USA . Plus USA hates competition . Your billionaires will never like Chinese car manufacture to flourish . Think about it a billionaire will take dealership from China . Will buy cheap and will sell with high price . Why would they sacrifice the profit ? Capitalist don't care about citizens it's all about making money . They are doing the same thing almost every thing . They buy from China and sell in USA with high price .
@@maninscrubdallas8694 even with fair price competition Chinese car will be less expensive than USA car . Plus it's not about price , it's about the product . Even with same price range the Chinese will dominate the market because right now Chinese car manufacturers are producing better car than USA .
Hi, I am from India. So, I have this Mi phone. We bought it for a cheaper price (almost like 10,000 INR) and also it has good user interface, the battery came for almost 5 years. Would have come longer if I had cared for it even more. Replaced it. Still works good as new. I was genuinely shocked when I realised it is a Chinese product.
In China , Tesla model 3 car selling price is $32,000. Why can't they do it in USA at that price ? It shows they are greedy and West paying for it.
With the TAX Credit it is about the same price.
Because of too much competition in China
also China made tesla using chinese supply chain which is more cheap than elsewhere
@@xuray6082yep Chinese tesla definitely cheaper to make than a American one
American versions need to meet expensive DOT regulation. Chinese models don't. That's why Chinese EVs aren't sold here.

I find CNBC videos generally to be poorly researched and inaccurate. This was an exception. However, a few things that were missed. First of all, Buick was successful in China (and not Cadillac) for a very specific reason. Famously, Zhou Enlai had a Buick and this marque was considered the most prestigious brand of automobile for decades, but unfortunately, GM missed this and introduced low-end, poor quality Buick vehicles into the market with this Brand and completely destroyed the brand image (albeit it worked well for a while as average Chinese families were wowed that THEY could drive a Buick). It then tried to introduce Cadillac, which in China had significantly less brand value. This was a huge mistake.
I think westerners underestimate how powerful the Chinese government is in altering buying behaviour patterns. Using very subtle messaging, they can dramatically alter what Chinese people buy and as I write this it's becoming more and more apparent that the US is out of favour as they continue to bully China. As this video suggests, VW could survive, but I think the American companies are done and it was all self-inflicted. Joe Biden personally has to take some of the blame for this as does Donald Trump.
The problem for these companies is that it's becoming ever more apparent that in order to compete globally, the product needs to be built in China, like Tesla is doing. So any tariffs put in place affect not only Chinese companies but also western companies that produce in China, hence the reason that VW and Mercedes-Benz are pushing back against EU tariffs.
Excellent points. I might add that certain models of Buicks in the past were actually reliable cars. Yes that unfortunately is not the case with other models or cars. The US really needs to get away from planned obsolescence, if we want to compete globally.
Buick is famous in china, based on brand accepted in china, I thought it have chance to make money in china again
You're soo wong.
我在2018年买了别克，很好开我很满意，但是美国车4年后质量有问题，多数是小问题，比如后视镜折叠，显示屏等等，加上美国一直欺负中国打贸易战，所以我卖掉了我最心爱的别克，现在换成BYD，不用油我很满意。但是还是别克好开，可能是我选择

Technologically, US cars are left too much behind.
Now BYD just launch their new Hybrid cars that can travel 2000km (1250 miles) on full fuel, without recharging.

Very low fuel consumption.
Anything close?
It’s actually around 13k usd
I think except German brands, no one will survive in China.
My family used to love American cars. My very first car was a Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, my dad drove a Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d'elegance, and my wife first car was a Dodge Neon sports. And we bought them brand new. However, the quality were so crappy that the cars literally fell apart in about 3 years.
bot
No way an Oldsmobile fell apart.
If the US doesn’t allow China cars being sold in the US then so does China don’t want American cars to be sold in China. The feeling is mutual, nothing personal just business decisions. If you don’t allow Huawei or other Chinese branded phones then they’ll also stop buying Apple iPhones and the list goes on and on. Chrysler, Ford and GM have the worst reliability among European, Japan and Korean brands anyways.
Tesla, Apple etc were popular in China. American brands were never banned in China, at least at government level. While the Chinese government has expressed their anger towards US sanctions against China, they welcome all American businesses. This promoted investment and healthy competition.
@@boli1435 literally no, all non-chinese information tech companies are banned in China. So much for your silly competition argument.

@@boli1435 Western car manufacturers could only sell and produce their cars in China if they joined forces with Chinese companies and taught them how to make better cars. This is not a real competition.
@@maximusasauluk7359 Amazon is not banned in China, they are just extremely uncompetitive compared to local brands.
"Chinese only want to buy Chinese brand." Sounds American to me.
If Chinese only buys Chinese brands China wouldn't have became VW and GM's largest revenue source for all those years.
Chinese buys the best cars, and right now the best cars are China, it's that simple.
It's only Americans, and only some Americans who'd pay extra for American made trash.
Except the Chinese consumers actively chose to pay more for foreign brands such as VW, Buick, and even Japanese brands such as Toyota and Honda for DECADES. Why are they just now switching to Chinese brands. Nationalism might play a part, sure, but the fact of the matter is Chinese brands are simply just as good, if not better, than western brands, and on the EV side, they are easily better.
It is not true . In fact Chinese Market is OPEN to all international brand . Many brands including local brand faded out because of fierce competition , lack of performance , not because they are from oversea brand .
We actually prefer the German brands, but they are too expensive.
@@小小烏龜 Nope, German brands are seen as outdated by everyone under 40.
The key here is their emphasis on EV, they will be the new superpower, they own battery, solar and can make EVs, they have a better foundation that US and Europe. I think it really sucked for them to get to this point but they will be leaders and drag US and Europe along for the ride.
I am 68. My last American car was a 1993 Ford Explorer. It was built on a truck chassis. And it drove like a truck. My wife refused to drive it. We traded it in for the Cash for Clunkers program. Purchased a brand new 2009 Honda CRV. I have not purchased an American car since. My girl just purchased a 2021 Tesla Model 3 brand new in 2021. We still have her 1997 Honda Accord 200K miles. My 2009 Honda Crv 196K miles and my 2019 Honda Ridgeline 45k miles. The Ridgeline has had several recalls. I am done with the newer Honda vehicles. They are not built with the same quality as they use to be.
Chinese cars are good and cheap. While I was in South Africa, my cousins drove brands I had never heard of like Haval. They were really nice! I’d buy one if they were available in the US.
South Africa is part of BRICS and has lots of Chinese brands, Haval is one of the most popular but they're so many here very affordable beautiful
Haval had already made a good reputation for itself within China a few years ago, but it was a bit overlooked after the EV boom
In India, American companies in the early naughts were selling cars at a fraction of the American sale price - the implication being they were over-inflating prices in rich countries. Then as India grew richer, so did the price. This "price gouging" worked as long as local companies offered inferior cars (even at cheaper prices). Once the technological gap narrowed, there was no reason to buy these cars at their over-inflated price points.

个人印象：
德国车（大部分人的首选）：稳定可靠，豪华代表BBA--奔驰、宝马、奥迪，另外大众最早进入中国，配件本土生产，维修成本低（对德国人印象是严谨，但是死板、反应慢）
美国车（为日本车做铺垫）：中规中矩，用料真实，但车身重、油耗高、用车成本高（对美国人印象是以前很优秀，现在被财务盈利驱动，利润优先，丧失了创新能力）
日本车（价格低廉不安全）：对标美国车，为降低车身重量，用塑料、泡沫代替钢板，油耗低，质量差，安全性差，但价格低廉（对日本人印象是细致，投其所好，如果太信任它，容易吃亏）
韩国车（日本车模式一样）：与日本车差不多，但自认为比日本车好，有点自信过头（对韩国人印象是心比天高，命比纸薄，自卑却又好胜，经常诋毁竞争对手）
法国车（浪漫个性太另类）：另类，我行我素，跟消费者脱节，偶尔会有1-2个经典畅销车型，但大部分默默无闻（对法国人印象是浪漫、个性，与普通消费者不在一个频道）
英国车（其他国家子公司）：大部分英国车，都是其他国家车企的英国子品牌（对英国人印象是曾经的工业贵族，有绅士风度，现在啥也不是，还自视清高）
bring it on China! this is what the USA wants! we need more innovation and cheaper more affordable vehicles the consumer stands to benefit greatly from this WORK HARDER AMERICA! we have to keep up with China if we want to remain the #1 superpower not only in military butt in the open market as well... so yeah as an American I'm happy because the Chinese and the American people all stand to benefit greatly from real competition!
The USA will never allow Chinese cars in, I guess you don’t understand your own government 😂
America was never into competition, that’s how they stayed number one!
Nope. America is closing its doors and being left behind.
Europe is already considering high tariffs for Chinese cars, they're not going to just let them in
@@danielzhang1916 They can do that but it will cost them most of their exports. If EU carmakers can't compete with the Chinese ones even when they have the homefield advantage (much smaller transport costs, the buy local sentiment), then they haven't got even a shred of hope of competing with the Chinese elsewhere.
And losing their export market would be a very heavy blow for EU carmakers even if they get to keep local sales.
The West: never missing an opportunity to squander our global advantages.

Just look at how much the Detroit three CEOs can still made a year when their market share are down ao much, give you an idea why they are failing.
Meanwhile, the best paid BYD executive earns less than 1/20 of what the GM CEO does. Less money wasted on executives, more money for things like R&D and expansion.
In 2008 Obama bailed them out with American tax payer money, but they never paid back, they are just too complacent
When the top is corrupt, it's just a matter of time before its values trickle down the system. And this isn't only concerning the Detroit big 3 but the country's (eg: US) values as a whole. This is why US is failing in real time for the world to see with its own two eyes. You can try to deceive your people, but it's only a matter of time before the dirty tricks get exposed because people aren't as stupid and easily controlled, thanks to the transparency of the internet.
@sandponics Nope. They are managing to make a profit on a $10K car, and are doing that and increasing revenues and profits year-over-year even while executing a pretty aggressive expansion plan that should see multiple factories starting production around the world in the next few years; Brazil's is starting production before the end of the year, for example. There are even initial plans for a factory in Mexico to guarantee no US-made car, not even regular gasoline models, will be able to compete on price in Mexico with Mexico-made BYD EVs.
Looks pretty impressive to me. At this rate BYD will soon surpass Ford on global volumes - if it hasn't already - and should be on track to challenge GM, and perhaps even VW, before the end of the decade.
Incidentally, here in Brazil BYD is already selling some 8x more than Ford (though, to be fair, Ford gave up on local production some time ago - BYD even took over Ford's old factory - and only imports cars). And that isn't just EVs, but rather total cars.
Stock buybacks were they enrich themselves and their investors. That's great short term.
In fact, in the era of fuel cars, German and Japanese cars were preferred.
Well, American automakers are failing in Canada also. More and more people are buying Asian autos, though no Chinese autos are here yet.

@dannywalters958 I met this pretty lady at a seminar a while ago. Small world right
The Big Three in the USA quit innovating. They decided to subcontract, and let others be their parts suppliers. The bidding process left little to negotiate. They wanted OEMs to produce, not build better parts. They relied on their past achievement, building big cars and trucks with high profits. Left the affordable vehicle market to foreign corporations. The foreign corporations innovated to produce high-quality, affordable vehicles, to dominate the US market with unit sales. The huge profits were repatriated to their home countries. MBAs in US elite universities were taught financial management but did not learn how to manage a workforce, nor the engineering skills to be leaders in manufacturing.
