Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Sorry, don't buy their good and cheap EVs, buy our expensive and crappy hybrids.
Or, Don't let their government funded cheap vehicles kill of your own industry only to price gauge you once they destroyed the competition.
And no, hybrid is not the plan. The aim is full electric in Europe.. per law.
What competition? The expensive EVs that people can’t afford?
Sure.. we need Evs at half the price point we see currently. The luxury SUV is a cash cow for the carmakers so there is their focus currently.
The cash subsidies was first unlimited, now in the Netherlands it is capped at cars of 50k. Next stage it will be capped at 20k I believe.
The market is being transformed from expensive to cheap. I'm confident we will get there.
And the BYD proposition looks awesome. So I hope something is done. But letting chinese subsidied cars wreak unfeathered havoc should also not be the way to go. Just like string free protection of the European car makers is also not the way to go.
Government-funded cheap vehicles... Like Tesla, right?
Is there an updated version of this image? There happened a lot in the last 2 years!
I mean, how many BYDs do you see on European streets? How many Teslas?
The issue is with the Chinese owned and operated companies. Not Tesla. Tesla sucks for many other reasons.
How much of Chinese exports to Europe are from Chinese owned and operated companies selling Chinese-branded EVs?
I understand, it's important to be price gorged locally now rather than being potentially price gorged in the future, perhaps.
No the European car makers need to make 15 and 20k EVs for sure. But letting your industrial base be atrofied by government funded companies worked well for out pharma industry.. or our solar panel industry.or.. should I go on?
Dependence on china for anything is asking for trouble.
