EVs - US, UK playing catch up due to lack of foresight

 Not just the Brits are going bonkers. Trump was dead set against EVs, because he was beholden to big oil, having pushed hard to expand oil extraction using fracking, which was detrimental to the environment. He even threatened to punish those who buys EVs in the early stages.

Then Tesla, a USA company, invested big in the EVs revolution, and then China came into the picture and the USA knew the game was up, and that EVs will soon take over the future of road transportation from fossil fuel.

The phasing out of vehicles running on fossil fuel was picking up fast and furious, the most significant change could be seen in the biggest global vehicle market itself, which is China. China was rapidly phasing out fossil fuel vehicles, and car manufacturers in the USA, Europe and Japan are now playing catchup, knowing that the days of fossil fuel vehicle sales in China is going to be over for good. Japan was betting on hydrogen fuel cars, that never seem to take off, due to the dangers of handling hydrogen, and the difficulty of setting up hyrdrogen refueling points compared to EVs.

China now dominates EVs production, and you can understand why the Brits are going bonkers. They are far behind in this sector and catching up is fruitless. The Whites can never hope to compete, so bringing down China's dominance in EVs is their only hope, just like targeting Huawei. They could not stand the sight of China dominating in anything and must create narratives to demonise China. Did they also said that cotton from Xinjiang was also spying on its citizens? So anything made with Xinjiang cotton is dangerous. Spying on British citizens for what purpose? To laugh at their low IQs and third world mentality?

In any case, China already saw the future in EVs, and made its move decades ago to secure essential raw mainerals like lithium and cobalt for making EV batteries, the most essential components of EVs. And Africa is their biggest partner in this endeavour, trading infrastructure developments and aid in return for mining rights, an arrangement that benefited both parties, not the usual one sided theft and exploitation committed by the Anglo Saxon White clique.

Their only pre-occupation is creating wars. What foresight do they have other than selling weapons. With countries now embracing peaceful co-existence like Iran and Saudi Arabia, and African and the BRICS countries, buying weapons to kill one another is less alluring. Killing and be killed is a manifestation of a sick mind.
