China - Impressions.

Surely that's because the vast majority of those 2 countries are very poor and don't own cars ?

Amongst many other things, meat consumption etc etc.

Which is kind of the point, if we get to the stage where the vast majority of those two countries live the same lifestyle that we do, then barring some technological solution, we'll be completely screwed.

46% of the world’s electric vehicles are driven in China. Was surprised when I heard this as according to a lot of people they are solely responsible for climate change and don’t give 2 fucks.

How did you get that 46% figure ? I'd be really surprised if that were the case.

Not saying you're wrong just want to see actual data.

Cheers mate.
I could only find 2021 figures, but I am upside down of course.
I believe the Oz market is gonna get flooded soon with Chinese EV's some brands we've never heard off.

I'm considering buying one. I like the Polestar.

Crisis ?

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

This sort of thing is why I’m sceptical of the way that China is portrayed to us by our media. Without wanting to sound like a conspiracy theorist!

So there's no China Crises?


Damn! That gun slinging @idahoblues beat me to it by 53 minutes....
