Dude awesome. I mean you gotta hand it to them. Killing it with affordable electric cars, solar panels and now this. It’s a step in the right direction, and that’s more than you could say about UK

I agree however there is only 1 but and that’s the fact that the labor costs are much lower in China than in the West. Still a great job by China.

That’s not so true nowadays. Skilled factory workers already make a good salary in China nowadays. Like better than any other “global south” country at least. And by cost of living, better than the US probably tbh.

don't need to be paying nearly as much for a skilled employee when cost of living is much lower
