Global South countries benefitting from China's overcapacity

 Now, why would Global South countries want to cut their noses to spite their faces? Isn't it better to support China's overcapacity and continue to enjoy cheaper consumer goods? Who wants to pay an arm and a leg for things made in the USA or the West? Only a fool wants that.

And so, as Global South countries enjoy US$30,000 EVs, USA consumers are now going to have to pay US$60,000 for the same EV. The tariff of 100% is basically an added tax by the USA Government. China still makes US$30,000 EVs for countries outside the USA. Such a simple concept and so easy to understand. It works the same way as buying a car in Red Dot, when customers in other countries are paying much less for an identical car. Wonder whether only USA voters are stupid enough to believe that tariffs are good for the country.

You would have noticed that the USA is good in inventing 'word salads' like making 'decoupling' into 'de-risking', subsidies into 'inflation reduction' and UN international Law into 'Rules Based Order'.

The USA can fool most people most of the time, some people most of the time and not all people all the time.

China just came out with an insane US$4,999 car according to a report. True or not I do not know. This is as cheap as buying a Japanese car in the early 60s in Singapore.

Apart from Singapore, I think most people in other global south countries would want such a cheap car. It is even cheaper than some or even most motorbikes.

This is very real. Lower cost of labour and everything and efficiency in production processes and a management mission to provide the best product for the masses, not to maximise profits by limiting the supply.
This is the result of overcapacity, to benefit the consumers.

Just like sinkieland, can get the best Huawei 5G equipment but instead opt for 4.5G angmo equipment. Our leader need to have their head checked or maybe their balls was squeezed by their master.

Just returned from London. My roaming service used a local service provider and it listed 5G service on my phone. However that was a myth. Service was even slower than 4G I experienced in Malaysia. The west is way behind.
