How can you claim they're better and cheaper if you have zero access to them because of whatever "nationalist freak" that's running your country? What specifically makes them better and how to they make them better than every other manufacturer while still being able to sell them cheaper?

Japanese cars still dominate because people still want them more than any other car. 8 of the 10 best selling cars in the world are from Japanese manufacturers.

I'm sure explaining how the internet works and the manufacturing and financials of a Chinese car company will get you to take off your blinders and won't be a total waste of time, weird though how the 2022 bolt new was 15000 dollars cheaper than the 2020 model new, I guess it just got real cheap to build a bigger car with a bigger battery and a better infotainment system.
