Anyone who follows EV news at all shouldn't be at all surprised as to what is happening in China. I do find these types of prognostications a bit silly.

As if no other manufacturers are on the task. It's the same stuff you hear from Tesla boosters, as if the current situation is static. BYD is not going to take over the world. Nations will protect their auto industries long before that happens. And of course a Chinese company is going to take over from foreign ones, it's a pretty standard pattern in China, and their costs are so much lower, due to lack of environmental and labour regulations, plus massive state support. I almost find it quaint Telsa thought they stood much of a chance there.
