Chinese technology companies are paving the way for a world that will be powered by electric motors rather than gas-guzzling engines. It is a decisively 21st-century approach not just to solve its own energy problems, but also to sell batteries and other electric products to everyone else. Canada is its newest buyer of EVs; in a rebuke of Mr. Trump, its prime minister, Mark Carney, lowered tariffs on the cars as part of a new trade deal.
Though Americans have been slow to embrace electric vehicles, Chinese households have learned to love them. In 2025, 54 percent of new cars sold in China were either battery-powered or plug-in hybrids. That is a big reason that the country’s oil consumption is on track to peak in 2027, according to forecasts from the International Energy Agency. And Chinese E.V makers are setting records — whether it’s BYD’s sales (besting Tesla by battery-powered vehicles sold for the first time last year) or Xiaomi’s speed (its cars are setting records at major racetracks like Nürburgring in Germany).
Thank you the diagnosis, random guy on the internet. Clearly you never heard of the concept “humor”. Maybe find a thesaurus, work your way through it. Cheers.
That’s not humour and you’re just embarrassed for being called out.
Making fun of Trump isn’t humor? Are you MAGA?
That’s not really what you did and not what I was talking about? Like at all? Brother, your low literacy level ain’t gunna be my problem, go figure that out on your own time.
Low literacy level? Me? Then follow with “ain’t gunna”.
I was definitely making fun of Trump. Wasn’t that hard to get imo (in my opinion), but somehow it was and still is a whoosh for you (meaning you missed the joke). And clearly you cannot handle that, seeing your desperate attempts to insult me.
Alright fine, I’ll add this just for you: You were trying to find some conspiratorial justification for why Trump invaded and I said that you don’t need to look that deep because the fact is that he attacked another nation. You then came back with “it doesn’t matter because he’s doing bad things” which is pretty much what I said. Then you thought I was MAGA even though I said something very clearly anti-Trump.
This isn’t difficult.
