Ford CEO Jim Farley said Chinese cars have “far superior” technology, lower costs and great quality.

I mean its not like Chinese car companies got there without significant help from their government either.
Correct but the Chinese are winning, we got dicks in our hands and nothing else to show besides national debt at 100k per head
We started in stronger position too…
Where did all the money go?!?
Oh 100% i agree. And we know where the money went. Just look at how many more billionaires there are these days
Don’t forget about cheap labor over there, economies of scale with the large Chinese market, and with a very different regulatory environment. The American auto industry has an uphill battle ahead of them.
Not to excuse the lack of innovation here, I personally blame the trend of wealth extraction for executive pay and shareholder returns at the expense of long term thinking and reduced R&D spending.
Thays not really true, it’s the automation.
