On July 27, 2026, BMW began delivering a full-screen Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie advertisement to the dashboard Control Display (the car's main center screen...
Cheap chinese car, yes, without all the crap, you wish. They are all capitalist and learn from each other. Remember the door handle shit? It’s very much everywhere in chinese car to the point their government have to regulate the shit out of it. Chinese car maker want to export their car so bad because they can exploit without limit.

Sounds like the system works. A problem was caused by capitalist firms doing stupid capitalist bullshit, and so the government stepped in to regulate them. What a country! Imagine if our governments would step in to regulate stupid firms doing stupid shit.
And the US doesn’t censor at all, and doesn’t run propaganda via media, interfere with scientific and educational institutions. Or start wars and genocides across the middle east. Or kidnap and assassinate presidents of countries. Or oppress and imprison the most number of people of any country in the world. Only China has human rights violations, not our country.
That’s the point. Pretty much all governments in the world (except some obviously failed states in Africa)¹ are functional, but their functions are not what you and I would like for them to do.
¹ USA, the state of Israel, the strte of Palestine, Russia and China are all functioning states by my definition.
Neither of which is challenging my comment but partly agrees with it.
Both the west and the east are on the road to collapse.
And (as you said) the true question is when, not if.
In what way criticising car manufacturer sinophobe? Is it because it’s a chinese company that you must unconditionally defend it? They’re billionaire ffs, no need you to defend them.
That only delays the problem, doesn’t fix it, sadly. Chinese firms understand capitalism better than the west imo, so once they have a large market share, they will likely pull off the same shit.
Still, for now, they are probably the better option.
For me, personally, I am trying to keep my 300 thousand km car alive :)
Unfortunately that doesn’t happen, because EU put tariffs on Chinese EVs. And then they are complaing why EV adaption doesn’t happen as quickly as they would like, lol.
I hope they don’t act surprised when cheap Chinese cars without all that crap devour their market share.

Yeah if we pretend all the other issue with CCP didn’t exists, it’s a functional government.
Broken censorious genocidal clocks… or something like that.

Not sure how any of that is relevant to my comment but okay.
The CCP is a functional government, but one you do not like
You can say that to a lot of government in this world.

Didnt know dbzer0 is turning into lemmy.ml
You have to admit that the West is collapsing ahead of Asia. China will be also falling, of course.

Corpos figured out that onerous regulations can keep out competitors who haven’t achieved the economies of scale to pay for compliance.
At least China regulated it. Tesla and GM still use those handles.
This is pure sinophobia.

Could you point to the part that you consider racism, please?

Very good point and I think I have proof. You can already see them inserting ads in their low budget phones
They will just be kept out of the market in the US. Oligarchs gonna oligarchy.
