Chinese cars must be sold outside China as sales in the country are dead.

Younger worker unemployment is soaring, especially for Chinese professionals. They aren't buying anything. And the manufacturers are now fighting to survive and desperate for expanded markets...


CNBC.com

quote:

Many people in China aren’t buying cars because an unstable job market and a continued slide in property prices have undercut consumer confidence. The government has also scaled back incentives such as cash-for-clunkers subsidies and tax breaks to go electric, car salespeople said.

I've been watching this over the past year. Their vehicle manufacturing prowess is impressive, but sales have become a bellwether of their economy. Combine this with AI (where their bubble is already bursting, compared to the United States) and they could be in for a rough patch ahead.

Market share probably being lost to someone. Maybe the European muzzies are taking market share.

Maybe because they’re hungry again an hour after they eat.

I feel like we've been hearing about the collapse of China for 20 years.

Demographics are a bitch. Chickens have come to roost for them. They're probably around 850 million people and dropping.

Who the hell would buy a Chinese made car? It’ll either be a cheap piece of shite or spy on you and collect all your data. Or both

I remember people buying those cheap mini trucks made in China to use on farms or camps instead of a SxS. They ended up in the junk pile within a year, complete pieces of shite

IMO, China was going to fail, it is government controlled system not a free market at all. When it fails and it will...

The Lincoln Nautilus is currently manufactured in China. However, Ford has announced plans to shift production back to the United States by 2030.

The problem is an elderly population. Its like 4 working people to 1 retiree and getting worse. And young folks aren't having kids because housing due to a popped over building bubble and a huge retired population consuming resources.

They can build almost anything but nobody in China is buying. They are dependent on their exports.
