For making better EVs than Europe?

[โ€“] Nobsi@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

No, for flooding markets with extremely subsidized cars.
If you sell apples and then i come to your stand and offer everyone apples at half the price you would also be angy.

No for being China and flooding the market with "cars" that barely pass safety regulations and are so cheap that they are definitely not making money with them and likely produce with slave labor, this is a trade war and it shall be fought accordingly.

You being pro China is a absolute disgrace to humanity and the values of the civilized world.

That's free market capitalism for you and European car makers are also producing in China and leverage the same labor forces.

I'm not being pro china, I'm just pointing out your bigotry towards China, has no place here, just because the EU is not able to push the Europe EV industry enough to be competitive.

Free market doesn't work when you have a government that slave labors you some cars and sells them at so cheap they are negative income.

And yes being against China is 100% good and OK everywhere.

You're a victim of successful brainwashing. My condolences

I'm not sure about this generalisation that their cars barely pass safety regulations. BYD ATTO 3 has scored a five-star rating in Euro NCAP safety tests, for example.

I forgot what this kind of argument is called when we attack the person instead of attacking their argument. Anybody can shed a light?

I think you are thinking of Ad Hominem logical fallacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

Wait are we talking about Tesla?

Fuck them as well but for different reasons.
