Subject: Re: China's next big problem - cars
To me the broad picture is that China is seeking to dominate another industry at the cost of considerable domestic shakeout, just as the article alludes regarding solar panels near the start. Considering how successful this approach has been with regard to most of the underpinnings of the electrification industry - panels, batteries, motors, etc. - it should be of considerable concern to other countries.

N.b. while purely ancedotal, I've found it interesting that since arriving in Lisboa, I have seen a fair number of European car makes, a much smaller number of American makes (Tesla being the only one present in more than minute numbers), and a predominant number of Chinese makes, most of which I had never heard of before.
