Not "Asians". Companies that follow the CCP's policies and ways of doing business.
What you did was typical pro-CCP misdirection. You took "fear of cheap Chinese EVs" and ran with that to "Asians bad". Chinese are not all Asians and the CCP is not a race.

Idk, I didn't feel like they were pushing an agenda, can't say the same about you.
The conflation of "Asians" being always applied to China is a common CCP propaganda tactic. There are many Asian countries, like Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, etc. These places are known for good quality products. They are all Asian. So yes, pushing the racism angle on commentary of products coming from a country not known for quality is an agenda. And to be clear, I didn't say "China doesn't make quality products", I said it's not known for quality. Which is different from say bad quality outright.
The mere use of the words "cheap Chinese" in the title here is meant to inspire racism though. It's intentional too. Our government encourages and spreads it to encourage Americans to view themselves as better or more valuable than Chinese people. It works.
