Not a good hair day, was it… Feels like there are a whole lot of executive retirements to be announced in the coming months - prompted by our investment fund overlords to make room for their oligarch understudies. Watch the industry outsiders continue to pour in and demean you and blast you for not working hard enough - all the while wondering why making a car is any harder than making a phone. Cutting our costs in desperation because we rushed unprofitable products to market without thorough validation and with botched software. Surprise, surprise… nobody but rich fools (money since parted) wants to buy a six-figure golf cart. Hats off to the guy pushing for a manual transmission Corvette. The company’s destiny lies in the hands of accountants and HR at this point. Sorry, car-gals and car-guys. Good luck to you all, True Believers!

40 years ago they said "Nobody wants your little cars Takeo Fujisawa"
20 years ago they said "Your cars are junk Jung Joo-young"
Now they say "you can't make anything yourself and your government will fall Shen Yang"
How has thinking that toxic rhetoric is how to beat the competition worked out so far?
Or run by someone from HR for DEI
So we need the competitions between auto manufactures, no matter they are domestics or foreigners. The competitions create good and advanced products, and are benefit to the customers eventually.
Boeing is a good example of what happens when a company goes from bring run by engineers to being run by accountants.
You get short sighted decisions that make or save a buck today at the expense of quality and your company's future.

From now, please don’t use any products made in China!!! You will fu-k yourself each time for each violation above.
"Where to find the EVs" "The more is the better." "go to your doctor for your mental health"
Where to find? The more is the better?
The CCP troll reveals himself. Strange how they seem to come out of nowhere when someone mentions "CCP","BYD" or anything connected to the regime.
Hello Shen Yang. We see you!
And fellow Americans, please read up on the CCP cyber army. They are shutting down our banks, our schools, our municipalities. Soon they will raid your 401k. If you think I'm kidding or trolling, think again. This is very serious stuff. They aren't sophisticated at wit or conversation but they absolutely can wield state-sponsored cyber we-pons against us. And to be absolutely frank, those cyber we-pons are stolen and/or brokered from another notorious country that I won't name here but they are attacking G-za right now.
- Always, your friend LPG.
Where to find the EVs made in China?Want to buy 10s to give them freely.
I want to buy EVs under $20k. The more is the better.

Keep calm and stop bullying or go to your doctor for your mental health, racist. You can’t change anything except keeping shouting.
"Do you think broke Americans (trillions in debt, combined with runaway inflation and record interest rates) will choose a 50k+ GM EV over an Asian car that is cheaper than 18k? Your future at GM is predicated on that answer being "yes"."
Perhaps the american culture is in decline due to greed. One side sold out the other.
China's "accomplishments" have come from borrowing the technology from US companies. They never developed it naturally and thus they don't know how. Not to mention it took many generations of folks to get to this level of creativity, probably many many centuries. China is genetically behind and I suspect they may not be allowed to evolve further because the US needs to balance its books.
@esw+1rF9YLEW
Oh Shen Yang. Your handlers don’t like green hats in their 250 cyber army. You must up your game.
American businesses will absolutely will be forced to leave the mainland once the ‘event’ happens. Then the innovation ends. Many of us know. But the other side of the coin is the fact that CCP has a parasitic relationship with the west. No Temu/Tencent $, no repressive regime.
CCP can’t sustain itself without western $.
Country Garden and mountains of electric bikes are examples of how a poorly run regime meets its endgame.
Bless your heart Shen. You are no match for LPG.
It is not your business as the American companies would like to do business like this. You are insulting yourself because you can’t change this situation.
@hix+1rF9YLEW
“ Please don’t use your short-sighted view to scare the American people.”
I submitted a well thought out rhetorical set of questions to provoke thought. YOU submitted an insult. Come back when you have something of value to add to the conversation. Your sad insults are a reflection of your own insecurity.
———-
PS the CCP does not allow American companies to do business in the Chinese market without owning at least half the enterprise. It’s a rigged market. Most Americans know this. No innovation comes from the CCP without the theft of western intellectual property.

@rwv+1rF9YLEW
Can you tell us why CCP allows US cars to be sold in China? Please don’t use your short-sighted view to scare the American people. Everybody should be smarter than you!

Will the average American choose a 60k Cadillac Lyric over a 30k BYD Han?
Here are the cheapest cars Americans can buy:
- 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage ES: $17,790
- 2023 Kia Rio LX: $17,875
- 2023 Nissan Versa S: $18,745
- 2023 Kia Forte LX: $20,815
- 2023 Hyundai Venue SE: $20,985
- 2023 Kia Soul LX: $21,215
- 2024 Chevrolet Trax LS: $21,495
- 2023 Nissan Sentra S: $21,725
- 2023 Nissan Kicks S: $21,925
- 2023 Hyundai Elantra SE: $22,065
Did you notice anything in particular?
Do you know that the Trax is made outside the United States? Specifically, at the Bupyeong-Gu assembly plant in South Korea and the Potosi assembly in Mexico. How could this situation affect hourly and salary jobs in the United States as the economy spoils like milk?
Do you think broke Americans (trillions in debt, combined with runaway inflation and record interest rates) will choose a 50k+ GM EV over an Asian car that is cheaper than 18k? Your future at GM is predicated on that answer being "yes".
The company's destiny has always been in the hands of accountants. This isn't a recent development.
