      Don’t forget…majority wouldn’t also use an operating system designed by China, but they have no issues payi g for the same thing in a car with multiple cameras driving around.

      People are really starting to lose their minds with these EVs and China…

        And while I’m at it, I want an explanation as to how this request for evidence, and question as to what capitalists really believe in is “low-quality”. Is it because Futurology’s mods want to minimize checking these wretched-assed crackers on their blatant xenophobia? What made this “low-quality”?

          Even if you take this at face value, the article is talking about western auto makers being supplied by what are presumably the same supply chains as Chinese auto makers. So they are both presumably profiting off of slave labor. It’s already well documented in many industries that western companies profit from slave labor both abroad and in the US with no lasting repercussions. So it really doesn’t seem like slave labor would set China apart.

          The next complaint is that they are undercutting other companies. What’s the problem here? You get cheaper cars across the board because western auto makers have to lower their prices. Given their massive profits, I see no problem in cutting into those so the people get a better deal.

          Another complaint I’ve seen here is the source of the operating system. Do you want a Chinese company spying on you or a US company spying on you? Does it make a difference and if it does, who is more likely to be able to take action on you because of the data they’ve collected? I think your domestic companies and government pose a bigger threat for spying (this includes China for those living in China).

          Considering all the recent news and reviews of the EVs coming out of China, what’s the real downside?

          Most of what I see boils does to yellow peril bullshit while western governments protect the massive profits and enshitification of western brands at our expense.

          Nice xenophobia, nice homophobia, can we get a hat trick in one post? Human Rights Watch? The people who get their information from Radio Free Asia and Adrian fucking Zenz? That white settler propaganda rag? Okay cac, you don’t have shit that’s provable lmfao. Only in Amerika can you see some hookass settler getting up in arms about nonexistent slave labor in another country when the Amerikan settler’s whole fucking LIFE runs on wage slavery, carceral slavery, and child abuse.

          Reported for being the way that you are. You didn’t answer my question, either: isn’t the whole point of capitalism to either compete, or be destroyed? You simp for motherfuckers who can’t even play the game anymore; and I look forward to watching their-- and your-- encroaching irrelevance.
