"In short, Detroit is drifting further and further from the starter car, while factories in China are specializing in it. Just don’t expect the latter to solve for the former anytime soon."

There is a bit of union blaming in the article, but it is an overall good article. Basically import taxes, tariffs, and anti-Chinese political sentiment prevent us from having sub $20k EV car.
Here in the UK the chinese gpus are appearing. I noticed that the Colorful gpus are available in some places here, including ebay, and they're CHEAP.
This is pretty cool. Definitely something to keep an eye on, since I want to upgrade.
I just expect that when 100% indigenous Chinese technologies fully surpass Western equivalents from Intel, AMD, Nvidia, that the West will go full Gandalf and not allow easy access for their populations.
Look here at sold listings on uk ebay:
Colorful 3060? £165 new
Colorful 4070ti? £600 - £650 new
If I head over to amazon to look up prices, a 4070ti is £800-900. These Chinese gpus are getting into the UK and are almost 33% cheaper than everything else. The quantity of them isn't high because I assume these are individual imports some sellers are doing or something. But their price is no joke.
Those are still using Nvidia chips. The Moore threads GPUs are completely Chinese, and they're not there yet, but they're on the way.
I want them to flood the market and force the price of everything else down to compete lmao
