Ha, well I'm a broken record but right around the time Tesla was starting up,
the Chinese government funded 1000+ BEV startups! That's been whittled down to ~400, and the goal is about 16 survivors. (Westerners were too busy arguing about Tesla to notice
)
And China is super flexible: their preference is to have their companies making the BEVs & supplying the BEV automakers, but they're just as comfy hosting the automakers and suppliers, i.e., Tesla & like Apple.
And further,
China is super happy to have a bunch of Western cultural separatists arguing about green this/that, global warming, and similar rot while they quietly flank the entire Western transportation industry.
