I was going to say “because they’re probably state subsidized” but your suggestion is better

I’m a software engineer, not a hardware engineer, but let me guess anyway: the article will imply that they’ve found some magical way to be more “efficient”, but it’s actually that they treat their people like shit and also sacrifice quality. Am I right?

Their point about the streets may actually be valid. I don’t know anything about the roads in China, but many European cities are notoriously hostile to automobiles.

It was just a really strange comment. I mean yeah, road quality varies wildly ( jyst come to eastern europe if you wanna see some remarkable road craters ) but its a broad generalization and the quality surely it varies in china as well, no? I keep trying to imagine what roads were these vehicles designed for if “european” roads prompted a redesign.

They probably mean “we use cheap shocks.”

They don’t treat their people like shit, they treat them like slaves.
