China does not do altruism. Their car manufacturers are owned and subsidized by the government. They're made to saturate and destroy markets with cheap goods, driving out the competition. Once there is no competition, they have the market to themselves and can manipulate as they see fit.

Weird that you are confusing such discrete, almost antithetical concepts as altruism and capitalism.

Yes, Chinese auto companies are trying to corner part of the auto market like every other car company in every country does.

And now they're doing it with inexpensive EVs receiving top marks in safety and manufacture, according to the top global standards.

So you can whine about all car companies trying to sell a product(seems like a waste of time) or provide actual evidence that the safety ratings for Chinese EVs are false in some way.

Right now you're spewing irrelevant tangents that have nothing to do with the EV industry.
