    This announcement coincides with BYD announcing they’re building a plant in Mexico likely targeting the US market, and them running sponsored english articles talking about how they’re beating companies like Tesla in order to drum up demand in the US.

    Also I wouldn’t be so sure about this reducing pollution in China as these cars are being discarded like outdated iPhones. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2023-china-ev-graveyards/
