The auto industry is being forced to move faster by China's EV makers

Furthermore, you want to talk US Auto company failures - perhaps you've forgotten that for quite some time, and even now, US Auto companies cannot figure out which end of a nut to put the wrench on and have produced fecal excrement that is virtually guaranteed to fail. People don't want fecal excrement when they buy an automobile, and therefore, bought Japanese instead. So maybe its a strawman that the US Auto industry is saying "regulations kill us" instead of facing their real demons.

And I suspect that the Chinese auto industry was paying attention to the what was happening and realized that they also cannot sell fecal excrement masquerading as a decent automobile. I've heard that BYD is making a better product than Tesla in their EVs and no amount of Tariffs will make Teslas better vehicles.

The amazing thing is is that History has taught this kind of lesson to the US in the past with Japan before WWII, and yet the US fails to learn from history and in doing so, has found that it is reliving it.

History be damned, though. And right now, the US is trying the same path that did not work out well for Japan, and yet, the US is trying to do the same things over and over again and expecting different results. I assume you know what Einstein said about that.

They can make good copies - say BYD making a copy of a Tesla. But their big failing is that they copy the defects just as well. Tesla will do "recalls to fix problems" BYD can only do that once the defect is fixed and they get a fixed vehicle to copy - but to find out which part was actually changed and how it was fixed that still have to reverse engineer the part - all taking a lot of time.

This isn't just about "Electric vehicles".

This is about the future of the electric and digital infrastructure. AI data centers, EV, all of them will require massive amounts of power and Google, Amazon, Indiana and some other states are already bringing back nuclear power. The 22nd century power grid will be rebuilt, only this time around, digital surveillance will be integrated along with power delivery.

Deng Xiaoping said: "The Middle East has oil - China has rare earth minerals".

China has cornered the market on rare earth minerals - mostly in the form of small, powerful magnets and America is playing catch up - to which it can't catch up. China has more adolescents than America has population: 1.4 Billion vs. 350,000,000 and can easily build anything to scale. American corporations are greedy and only focused on using cheap slave labor to profit while sucking down the profit but China is focused on copying and counterfeiting the process and products and making it affordable to the masses.

China will NEVER allow the racist policies of America to control its progress and will ultimately win without firing a single shot. Bruce Lee called it "the art of fighting without fighting". While America continues to make enemies of its neighbors, China is forming partnerships with South America and - most importantly - Africa. America and Europe laughed at "Dark Africa" and brought them bibles while they carved it up to steal its mineral wealth... China is building lighting there as well as new plumbing, sewers and infrastructure. China will do the same in South America.

Every car, smartphone, tablet, and wearable will be fully integrated into this digital frontier.

It's gonna' be Bio digital Jazz man....

China's going to be the leader.

Disabuse yourself of the idea that China is "winning" in Africa. Its been getting its *** kicked by the Africans who demand money up front and do not like the Chinese people people at all. Take Angola as an example. Went after its oil and got none and left. Same with copper in Zambia. To gain Africa China would have to "invade" - good luck on that one though, the Blacks are far better fighters than the Asians and there are more of them.
