on 02026-02-16“Chinese #EVs banned from #UK military sites over spying concerns.” “Staff were also advised to avoid having official conversations within electric cars from #China (...) officials are concerned that microphones mounted within the car which are supposed to be used for voice activation systems and phone calls, could instead be used to eavesdrop by the Chinese state.” #security #politics
on 02026-01-16#news: “Following the Biden administration’s move to impose 100% #tariffs on Chinese #EVs, Canada implemented similar surtaxes, effectively freezing companies like #BYD, #Nio, and #Zeekr out of the market. (...) #Canada has agreed to allow an annual quota of 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into the country at the tariff rate of just 6.1%.” #USA #politics #China
on 02026-01-16#news on the #EU imposing 35.3% punitive import #tariffs on electric vehicle (EV) imports from #China earlier this year on top of the 10% standard import duty (and I suppose VAT). China ended its joint-venture rule in 02022, maybe due to #Tesla, while the EU is maybe enacting it as a way to, in effect, drop the tariffs. This #video (by #EV-Insight) is pure irrelevant stock-footage filler. #politics #EVs

on 02024-09-11#video from a year ago on the economy of #China, including the C919 narrow-body jet made by #Comac (established 02008), BYD’s #EVs and the Shanghai government’s support for #Tesla, the NVIDIA A100 and the petaflops Biren BR100 (fabbed in 7nm like, supposedly, the A100) and how the export controls block TSMC from making it (I guess this video is from July 02023, before the #HiSilicon Mate60 processor demonstrated SMIC’s 7nm capabilities), Nike vs. Anta (which has apparently bought Fila and Wilson), CATL vs. mostly other Chinese EV battery companies, supercomputers (mentioning the 02015 export controls), bullet trains (there's a World Bank map at 45'25" showing how Urumqi is connected), “metaverse” (pointing to pre-publication approval requirements on games), and space tourism with CAS Space. Says that in 02022 China had 173 supers on the #TOP500 list vs. 128 in the #USA, making their recent withdrawal rather momentous, and that #cryptocurrency transactions were banned there in 02022.

on 02024-09-10#CNBC #video about cars from #China. The Li Auto L6 medium family car, about the same price and size as a Tesla Model Y, includes a fridge, massage chairs, TVs, etc. Nio is one of the car companies that does battery-swap charging. Bill Russo (Automobility) thinks the new business model is monetizing data obtained after you sell the car, but it’s unclear if he’s specifically talking about one or more Chinese companies. The reporter said she felt that there wasn’t nearly as much precision when she was, for example, turning, as in a Tesla, because the cars’ performance wasn’t as good. #EVs
