I said right at the beginning of this Amazon, EBay, etc where to blame too. I’d also blame US and EU regulators for not coming down on substandard stuff being sold on these platforms by drop shippers and flyby night companies. China manufacturing has got more tarring than those platforms and I agree it is unfair, but AliExpress is no better and is not a US/EU platform.

That’s my whole point.

Your arguments about “Chinesium” are racist and unwarranted if you have any idea about a) how products supply chains work or b) stick to the topic of EVs, which passes all of your targeted requirements but you maintain is still bad in some way solely because of their ethnicity.

You haven’t picked up I’m not saying for sure they are bad. Just that I have low trust because of past non-EV product experience. Lots of people in this boat. That’s just reality.

I understand you want to backtrack all the things you’ve been saying, but nobody has accused you of saying “for sure they are bad” This is a public ledger, anyone can just scroll up.

Even though the thread is specifically about Chinese EVs, You are continually ignoring the topic to perpetuate tangential, baseless accusations about Chinese manufacturing and using racial slurs to disclaim your ignorance.

“Trade alone doesn’t improve how the[sic] act”

“Chinesium”

“Would help if other stuff from China was better made”

“Things made of “Chinesium” are known for amazing cheapness not quality.”

Then, after I explain how corporate manufacturing supply chains work, and lower quality is demanded by for and distributors, you admit that the reputation is not earned and is unfair.

“China manufacturing has got more tarring than those platforms and I agree it is unfair”

Although in every comment you’ve made you’ve been blaming the Chinese ethnicity for specific poor manufacturing processes and quality that other countries specifically request.

You’re using disclaimers to wave away your racist or ignorant lines, and then continuing to say ethnically bigoted and maintain disprove unfounded accusations.

You argue “I don’t trust Chinese goods comply unless they are independently checked.”

I provide the links that explain exactly how Chinese EVs are independently tested abroad and have been for years, while pointing out that similar auto companies not from China manufacturer products that literally fall apart.

You continue to use ethnic slurs and repeat that you need independent testing, even though Independent testing you were unaware of is done and the evidence has been provided to you.

You’re using ethnic slurs to describe the manufacturing process of a country, and then complaining that simple, factual rebuttals against your claims are not fair because you never clarified your racism or ignorance explicitly.

In addition to the explicit quotes provided above, the baseless accusations, implications and ethnic prejudices are right there in everything you said already.

You claim “China is a problem, but cars isn’t where I’d start.”

Then I’m not sure why you’re replying to a thread and comments specifically about the Chinese EV industry and manufacturing practices , topics you’ve demonstrated very little knowledge of and prejudice towards.

    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
