    Another day, another CCP shill post. Tomorrow you’ll tell us about their beautiful human rights handling I hope.

      It’s frankly bordering on racism that any amount of positive words for Chinese people or their accomplishments gets you labeled a “CCP shill”. Is every Chinese friend I made in uni a shill for having nice thoughts about their previous school and hometown?

          What part is the strawman? The Atlantic is an American magazine. Its an opinion piece by a guy who runs another car review and discussion website that is full of articles about non-Chinese cars. The person who posted it has posted a variety of articles about tech from all over the world, including Tesla. Where is the shill?

      This just isn’t a CCP shill post. Western and Korean companies simply refuse to sell an EV that isn’t a luxury car, and Japanese companies seem to be trying to get out of making EVs period. The only one I could name, Chevy Bolt, got the axe last year.

      Like, I look like an American Nationalist next to most Lemmy users (you could say I am in a way, but not in the conventional right-wing flag waver way.) But BYD coming to America would fill a need, even if the cars actually suck. Teslas suck, but they still sell, and there are alternatives to Tesla.

      Eh, it’s more the dumbing-down of America starting to take effect.

      It’s always funny seeing you people comment almost instinctively on anything that’s positive about china.

          Umm… your nationality has nothing to do with it.

          You should pay more attention in English class.
