Comment on Fear of cheap Chinese EVs spurs automaker dash for affordable cars
penquin@lemm.ee 1 year agoI get your sarcasm, but Chinese products are life savers in 3rd world countries like mine. My brother bought a Chinese pickup truck for $3500 brand new. American trucks are at least 10 times that. People there work a whole month for $500 - $900. No one can and will never afford that shit. Same goes for other products like cellphones, computers… Etc. an iPhone there costs $1200 - $1400 and a Chinese one costs $300 max and it does the job no problem. People in those countries love China.

Which countries?
penquin@lemm.ee 1 year ago
3rd world countries. Or do you want specific names?

Yes, I asked “which countries”, not “what kind of countries”?

Iraq is where I’m originally from, and Chinese products are ubiquitous there. They even built schools and hospitals there. Sorry for misunderstanding at first.
