So getting bent over by the Chinese Govt having to pair up with CATL is fine but God forbid some no name company copy a decades old design of a car. Call me skeptical.

Got to hand it to China. They aren’t stupid. Want to play in their market you have to pair up with a Chinese company so the state keeps its finger on the pulse and you can kiss untangling that relationship.

Meanwhile. We’ve become hollow husks after China has rotted us out. They were smart enough to make sure we couldn’t play them by the same cards.
