> The west is still underestimating China.

What do you mean by "The West"?

Because in Western Europe, nobody serious is underestimating China, quite the contrary. We know that there's no going back, and quality is no longer a criteria to choose local over imported.

Only bigotted people are still viewing China as a country mass-producing cheap crap.

I think that's the EVs that definitely sealed the deal in lots of people's minds.
