Kind of sharing this because the headline is a little sensationalist and makes it sound like MS is hard right (they are, but not like this) and anti-EU.

I mean, they probably are! Especially if it means MS is barred from monopolies and vertical integration.

Made in China Tesla's are better build then US made ones.

Also there are already many Chinese EVs sold around the world for quite some time with no known major recalls.

I've heard people using Chinese EVs in China saying that using them long term often is a pain because they're so poorly designed

Source for that claim?

Technically Volvo and polestar are Chinese owned brands selling made in China EVs in the US.

I don't think there will be more as the US will do protectionist measures if they or other Chinese EVs become too successful.

When Chinese manufacturers sell their EVs abroad at prices below production costs (dumping)

This is outright false considering EVs made in China are sold overseas at usually twice what it is sold in China.

For example the Kia EV5 is sold at $20k in China while the same made in China model is sold overseas Starting at $46k

I suppose the dealer knows an EV would result in them earning a lower profit from the lack of servicing required.

If the remaining people

According to the article around 180000 left which is around 2.5% of the population of Hong Kong 7.2 million. There basically wasn't that many people who emigrated to cause a shift in perception.

As many have suspected it was the issue of cost of living that caused the protest. Now with easy access to more affordable goods & services across the border, the problem mostly fixed itself. If you relied on outside media narratives convincing you otherwise, you would come to the wrong conclusion.
