Unions, regulations, etc. But none of that works without functioning democracy. That we barely have, but it’s better than none.
Due to experience, I don’t trust Chinese goods comply unless they are independently checked. That is reputation they have earned and now need to unearn. I don’t just blame Chinese manufacturers but also Amazon, Ebay, etc for enabling the sale of goods claiming they comply to standards they don’t.
Yes, dumping not dumplings, but yum. 😃
I doubt a democracy can function without unions any better than a union could function without a democracy.
It’s fine to be wary, but now that you’ve been made aware of the independent safety testing done in Europe by independent safety commissions of Chinese EVs, why are you still implying you need different independent safety testing?
I’m not taking about democracy without unions. I agree that would be bad. I count unions as part of the democratic process.
I hope the independent testing is done yearly, on random cars, not just once on the design. Chinese manufacturing has earned low trust from me and that will take time to repair.
I also have lower trust in undemocratic countries. Trade alone doesn’t improve how the act, and China is an example of that.
Got it. A lot of European countries are ostensibly democratic, and the European auto safety testing is fairly rigorous, same as the states.
Heres how they work:

Chinese arbitrary manufacturing mistrust is understandable, but their auto manufacturing standards are consistently independently affirmed as world-class while Tesla roofs and doors randomly fall off vehicles, for a bit of perspective on auto safety and manufacturing methods
Neither the US or the EU require annual testing for tested car models, which I agree would be nice.
