This is the fair and balanced type of reporting Germans fawn over their totally independent state media for.

Racist overtones aside, conquering foreign markets with their cars is the only thing that’s kept West Germany relevant since the annexation of the DDR, and that’s coming to an end.

    Curious when Germany went to conquer the Chinese market in 1897 they did so with guns and warships not with trade vessels, i think these Germans forget what conquering a market looks like.

    I remember being shouted down here for saying German state media is biased as fuck. So I guess this is unbiased reporting.

      We clown German state media on Lemmygrad all the time. It’s really atrocious.

      This doesn’t apply to DW since it’s directly funded by the government, but my favourite is when German libs insist that ARD and ZDF are completely one hundred percent independent because they get their money directly from German residents (as a compulsory fee) instead of the federal budget. As if that makes any difference to how well they lick the government’s boot and run journalistic cover for the economic elites of Germany, the EU, and the US.

    I’ve heard BYD will introduce brand new, solid EVs that cost around 20-25k. Compare that to the average 40-50k new EV and I think my choice will be made quickly.

    Funny how the free market enjoyers don’t enjoy free markets all of a sudden when it’s not their white company doing it.
