Probably not a well received opinion but the amount of China promoting drivel that goes on here in lemmy is astounding.
Eh, I’ve seen all these same headlines on Hacker News. China is a rapidly developing country with a lot more people, manufacturing, advancements, and news than many other countries so it makes sense that there would be a lot of news coming out of it.
I just visited China for the first time during a business trip a few weeks ago and as an American I was impressed. The US media tries so hard to present only the negative that a lot of Americans aren’t even aware of all the achievements they’ve accomplished.
Which is the propaganda? The posts touting Chinese achievements in tech, or the posts saying to beware of the Chinese milestones?
Both.
Agree. Tankies are on the loose, and not just on their own servers
Like most Chinese products I wouldn’t trust their quality or their customer support, and would expect the thing to spy on me 24/7.
You do realise that anything made in the USA or even sold to be used in the western world has the CIA sucking it all up.
Like sure China are gonna spy but let’s not pretend the USA, UK, Australia, and Israel ain’t spying on us all.
So, basically no different than we already have…
In my experience, Chinese products are way better and more affordable than American ones.
Buying American is just a scam to fool people with more money than sense.
Mark Twain was right.
I wonder if the MFs who complain about Chinese stuff really thought their phone is made in Finland… LMAO…
In my experience, you’re wrong.
You must not use Amazon.
I was specifically thinking about products I got on Amazon.
Headphones, especially. It really cemented in my mind that most “audiophiles” are just idiots with more money than sense trying to fit in with the same.
They also have fields of decaying vehicles that were built solely to take advantage of the subsidies
Do they have an electric truck that isn’t the size of a small house?
I want the kind of EV that’s made in Japan.
A Gundam then. That will be $725M for the base model without Beam Saber and shield. Would you like to pay in cash or card?
What if I steal Fort Knox on my test drive? Will that work?
I’m sorry citizen but the Earth Federation currently does not accept stolen reserves for test drive bonds. You may wish to contact the Principality of Zeon who may be amenable to your mode of payment. Thank you and have a nice day!
So is the rest of the world.
Mmm… mag lev…
I want a car without spyware.
Even American cars have spyware. Not sure what your choice is there. At this point, I’ll settle for cars with physical buttons for climate and other commonly used controls.
Even American cats have spyware.
And they have since the 1960’s: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Kitty
That typo was totally worth learning about this
I‘m just waiting on the release of the german X-Bus. A modular 600kg vehicle that counts as a quad and can be used as a bus/transporter/pickup/camper and recharges 30-50km of range a day through solar energy on the roof for under 20k€ is exactly what I want from an EV. I don’t need a 50k price tag with shiny smart features.
BYD would eat the market alive if they sold their EVs here solely on price.
“Best”?
[X] Doubt
This is a ridiculous propagandist article.
Another day, another CCP shill post. Tomorrow you’ll tell us about their beautiful human rights handling I hope.

Or maybe the West is just not the be all end all in all aspects of society?
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.
I’m French, try again
Umm… your nationality has nothing to do with it.
You should pay more attention in English class.
wow, you sure are a nice Person.
- yes it does. The Dumbing-Down of America has no Effect on a Frenchie.
- I wanna know how many Languages you speak, because it’s very well possible he speaks 3 completely different Languages (French, German, English). So how about you get your Attitude checked and stop being an Arrogant A**hat
Everything fine at home? Do you really believe the west it’s far better at human rights? Really?
Yes. Say something that Xi doesnt like ? Staright to jail/brainwash camp. Say something about Biden being senile ? Laughs on Twitter. Tell me which is worse.
I would like an electric 2004 Dodge Neon…
Does China have that? Not like in build quality, I know they’re trash, just that exact car.
Considering how much respect China has for western intellectual property… probably. Somewhere.
The amount of Chinese propaganda around EVs is astounding

I want a top speed of 50, 100 mile range, single seater, and a price tag to match
An ebike can do all that.
It’s the result of massive subsidies. When they stop, this market will crash like a house of cards.
Those bastards, subsidizing emissions reducing technologies.
Not really. It’s mainly about gaining market dominance on a technology they think is the future. They’ll build them right next to the massive coal plant alongside a million other things they’re subsidizing.
Even if its not some altruistic reasons, they still are literally subsidizing this emissions reducing technology.
Tho they are also going pretty ham on subsidizing renewable energy too.
You won’t be saying that once the market crashes. You’ll realize that there are much better ways of spending that money. Like far more practical emissions reducing solutions.
How do subsidies=crash, and what are more effective emissions reductions solutions than renewable energy and electrifying transit?
You’re better off spending it on stuff like mass transit and the like. It won’t just all disappear at some point in the future.
