Chinese Car Industry to surge ahead of competition
Warren Brown at the Washington Post and tells it like he should:
BYD’s exhibit is instructive and, indeed, should be taken as a warning by any automobile manufacturer or government inclined not to take the Chinese seriously in matters of advanced engineering. BYD is displaying a range of gas-electric and plug-in electric models, such as its E6 DM (six-cylinder, dual-mode) sedan, which BYD representatives said will be able to drive 156 miles on a single battery charge.
Are BYD and Brilliance bluffing? I don’t think so. Their exhibits constituted a poignant reminder of something a Chinese university student told me two years ago in Shanghai: “You in the West own the old automobile industry. We are going to own the new one — the one powered by batteries.”

Warren Brown is a shill and an idiot. He wants more bailout money for GM. His article is mostly about scaring American consumers about China, not any sort of analysis.
Exactly.
He’s just acting like NASA , using China to scare the US government so they can siphon more American tax money.
