Ruin it.
They will. It works in their best interests. Soft power is king.
I've had the privilege of driving Asian, European and American cars on three continents. Currently in America and I drive a European car.
While different cars for different purposes and different situations, on a general scale, European wins in the quality department, it's a toss up for reliability between European and Asian, with Asian tilting the scales, performance, again a toss up between European and Asian, and Europe tilts the scales here.
I could go on, but when I lived in Europe and having seen what America has to offer, it would mean America would have to do better, offer smaller vehicles that are practical, reliable, economical and good looking, all of which they currently cannot offer domestically.
That being said, China is going to destroy everyone when it comes to EVs. You may not like them, and they can be gimmicky but dang, those rides are sweet.
Just my opinion.
The "wolf warriors" used to come in hot a.f.
Not a European, but a well traveled person who has drunk beers in Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, Botswana, Senegal, UK, Poland, China, and the UK, as well as drunk beers from Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic etc, I stopped drinking beer when I drunk American beer. Sure, there are some good microbrews, but holy moly, there are some questionable things that pass for beer in America.
I'm not a lawyer but does this not set a precedent for others in the same predicament to follow?
Politically, this was a key proponent in creating and managing difficult alliances with African, Asian, and South American countries. China, and potentially Russia and India have been waiting for this splinter. They will flood the markets with cheaper generics and people will adapt. This will be a power play America will never recover.
Dang. Had no clue Japanese planes couldn't fly over land.
I would imagine bracing for impact. When the market tanks, as is inevitable, he will be bargain hunting.
