Description:
Chinese automaker BYD has launched an affordable electric vehicle called the Seagull that sells for around $12,000 in China and threatens the US auto industry. The Seagull is well-built, drives well, and has craftsmanship rivaling more expensive US EVs, though tariffs currently keep it out of the US market. BYD uses its battery expertise and vertical integration to manufacture the Seagull efficiently and keep costs low, allowing a longer range on smaller batteries. US automakers must relearn design and engineering practices and ditch excess costs to compete, like with simpler components and reducing weight.

_european-companies-in-china-feel-the-squeeze-as-economic-growth-slows-down.webp "European companies operating in China face increasing pressure as China's economic growth slows down and overcapacity issues rise. Profits margins for European firms in China are at an 8-year low, with only 30% reporting higher profits than their global average. The slowing real estate sector and geopolitical tensions have contributed to China's economic downturn. Overcapacity is a major issue, especially in industries like construction, automotive, and engineering. It has led to price drops. Getting paid on time by Chinese clients is also a growing challenge as it became more difficult to enforce contracts versus the prior year.")
