| Which breakthroughs, specifically? There are no Chinese institutions pumping out nobel prizes. Zero. |

| 10 years ago were no Chinese companies pumping out world-class cars either. But here we are. |

| ▲ | dragontamer 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Geely owns Volvo and IIRC a significant portion of Volvos are Chinese made now. There's a number of companies or brands that are now Chinese owned. China knows that home grown brands (like Geely) don't work on an international stage, so they buy well known brands like Volvo. It's a bit of a silent behind the scenes takeover but I'd say that China is now seriously making competitive cars. If you can follow the brands and notice. | | |

| ▲ | dragontamer 32 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I don't really give a shit about Tesla though. Or BYD for that matter. By my eye, Volvo / Geely cars are the most impressive. |

| Idk man, i dont keep a list of China's breakthroughs handy. You can find the same results on google that I can. And I wasn't aware that breakthroughs needed to be nobel laureate worthy at a minimum to still be considered breakthroughs. |
