Apparently, whether or not the engineers are Chinese is the deciding factor. as long as Nicklas Backstrom is designing the EV, its all good. Or in other words, Chinese scary!","comments":[{"id":48578889,"user":"teravor","time":1781742201,"time_ago":"an hour ago","type":"comment","content":"

I acknowledged this, you quoted it.

do you have evidence that if they wanted to do that they would not be giving orders to European or American engineers? as I said, financial fictions don't matter in matters such as these.
