China dominates the electric vehicle industry, with its brands responsible for about two-thirds of global sales in 2024, although none of those sales were in the U.S.

China loves electric cars: making them, driving them and selling them to the rest of the world.

Electric vehicles have been widely adopted in China, thanks in part to years of now-defunct government subsidies and a fast-growing network of charging stations. According to the International Energy Agency, almost half of the cars sold in China in 2024 were electric, compared with about 1 in 10 in the U.S.

But despite growing global interest in the innovative sector, Chinese electric cars remain out of reach for consumers in the world’s second-largest auto market, the United States.

    IKEA and Nestlé have abhorrent US business practices. It’s a disgusting display of orientalism, and these practices are illegal in China.

      Nestle is one of the worst companies in the world. They are responsible for the death of tens of thousands of children in Africa, droughts and a lot more shit.

      I hadn’t heard anythink about Ikea. Mind sharing? I though they were pretty good, being a non profit and investing in climate change.
