It was predictable [SEE HERE], and it happened exactly as predicted.
BlackRock investment firm writes the regulatory and economic policy for Joe Biden’s administration. That’s the quid-pro-quo that maintains the Biden political financial operation. All of DC know it. No one does not know. The ones who claim they do not know about it are all pretending. Republicans take the background BlackRock bribes and pretend.
BlackRock positioned massive investment assets inside Chinese auto manufacturers, MG, BYD, and Chery. The three Chinese companies are in the process of moving North American auto manufacturing to Mexico, specifically to make EVs. The Chinese EVs made in Mexico will come into the U.S market tariff free under the USMCA trade agreement. China and BlackRock will make billions.
Today, Joe Biden announced a series of tariffs against China in the EV industry. [SEE HERE] The Chinese EVs are not being made in China. The tariff regime is a farce – a total joke.
Biden might as well be announcing tariffs on Chinese swimming pools flown into the USA via hot air balloon. There will be more Chinese swimming pools delivered from China than Chinese EVs. The Chinese EVs come from Mexico. The tariff is fake.
WHITE HOUSE […] To further encourage China to eliminate the acts, policies, and practices at issue – and to counteract the burden or restriction of these acts, policies, and practices – the Trade Representative shall modify the two actions to increase section 301 ad valorem rates of duty for the following products from China:
-
- Battery parts (non-lithium-ion batteries): Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024
- Electric vehicles: Increase rate to 100 percent in 2024
- Lithium-ion electrical vehicle batteries: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024
- Lithium-ion non-electrical vehicle batteries: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2026
- Natural graphite: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2026
- Other critical minerals: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024 (read more)
.
None of this stuff is coming from China. It is all coming from Mexico via transnational shipping and Chinese manufacturing in Mexico. [Check Date]
On the EV issue, this tariff approach is politically duplicitous by Biden against the backdrop of massive investment in Mexico by the three largest Chinese EV automakers. Last December, the three Chinese auto manufacturers, MG, BYD, and Chery, announced they were going to spend billions building new EV manufacturing plants in Mexico. Each Chinese auto manufacturer was going to spend between $1.5 to $2.0 billion.
Those Mexican built Chinese EVs would pass into the USA market under current USMCA trade rules and regulations, as long as they technically meet the material origination rules. This can make tariffs against the Chinese imported EVs a moot point, because China will be making them in Mexico (North American trade agreement).
One of the reasons President Trump said the U.S. auto industry would suffer a “bloodbath,” is specifically because the current Chinese auto companies are targeting these EVs in the $10,000 or less range. If you want to see what it looks like when cheap Chinese EVs start to flood a consumer market, visit Russia – the Western sanctions have only increased this flow. I can see it clear as day.
China plans to pump out thousands of cheap, what I would consider semi-disposable, electric cars into the USA market. That’s why they have invested so heavily in Mexico. Keep in mind, BlackRock (a Biden benefactor investment firm) is enmeshed with this Chinese move.
This tariff claim, by the Biden administration on “import Chinese EVs”, is optics only for political benefit. Whereas, the 100% tariffs proposed by Donald Trump specifically target Chinese EVs made in Mexico.
Stand back and elevate your thinking on this Chinese EV issue; the substance of it is a consequence of a much larger dynamic. It is somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
There is a cleaving underway, a dedollarization that continues in global trade. Nations are no longer relying (dependent) on dollars as the baseline for trade parity; they are determining their own nation to nation trade valuations outside the use of the dollar as a benchmark.
The result of this dedollarization taking place is massive inflation inside the USA that continues as the dollar (yellow zone) is weakened against the increasingly non-dollar-aligned world (grey zone). The frequency of dollar use is lessening as alternatives are being used.
Trade into the yellow zone still requires a benchmark of dollars, but bilateral trade within the grey zone increasingly does not. This is the root of the global financial and economic cleaving. Mexico is not stupid.
China is trying to position their transportation sector (auto, planes, trains and mass transit manufacturing) as Apple manufacturing is to cell phone use. Some of these disposable Chinese electric vehicles are actually impressive, which makes sense when you consider that China steals the engineering and design elements from knuckleheaded Western corporations who use China for industrial manufacturing (see Tesla etc).
I wouldn’t buy an EV if it was made down the street.
The Chinese government cheats, lies, steals, and will commit any crime, mass murder included, because they are Communists: no rules, no laws, no morals, no guilt, no conscience for them.
No treaty, no agreement, nothing they say or do can be trusted without massive verification.
Nearly 80 years of Communism have corrupted the Chinese people themselves: anything to survive.
Some years ago, my son was at the medical school of U.S.C., where open, organized cheating by Chinese “exchange students” soured him completely on the place.
The Communists paid full tuition for the cheaters, whose dishonesty the professors ignored: the open secret was that the money from the Communists was more important to the administration than Honesty, Integrity, and the Lives of future patients suffering possible death from doctors who had cheated their way through medical school.
The current US Government lies, cheats, steals…
Yes, because it is full of Communists!
Indeed it is! You know it, and I know it. In fact, I’ve known it since I was 6 years old, and now I am 70 years old. How did I know? My family and relatives came from Hungary during and after WWII, as well as during and AFTER the 1956 Revolution. I was 2 years old at the time. How could anyone think us kids would not be taught this history when family members were imprisoned and killed by the commies? Whether from China, USSR, Cuba, or Eastern Europe thecommies ALL SHARE THE SAME IDEOLOGY, and there is no getting around it! This ideology is NOT A GAME, yet today many folks just play around with it. Pisses me off how stupid some people have become!
Thank you!
The staunchest anti-Communists are those who have suffered under Communism!
I had the honor of meeting a Lithuanian Catholic priest, who had escaped Lithuania in the 1950’s and came to Dayton to be the pastor of a Lithuanian Catholic parish there.
He spoke at my high school about the crimes of the Russian Communists – and of their traitorous, Lithuanian allies – in his home country.
“Better Red than Dead” was the cry from the anti-war protestors back then, who were claiming that Communism was not so bad, just another way of living: he was absolutely NOT in favor of such idiocy and spoke against it through his own experiences.
Sad, but true that suffering is what made our family notice a lot more similarities around us in our lifetime, and how no book education can open the eyes of those who never had this experience, but can talk a good talk. Many times, even here on CTH, I have had to bite my tongue from saying things in disgust to some comments that truly send me in to fits of rage. I better stop here.
Stay with us please, Ladyvin. Some days are better than others….sometimes I speak before I really t h i n k and the send button is hit. Am working hard on getting better.
What i meant about stopping is not going on and on about commies and their hurtful dealings while i read here on CTH. I see it every day, i hear about it every day, i feel it every day. Sundance said that once u see the strings u can never unsee them. Well, i have seen the strings since my childhood and continue to see them, so i bite my tongue, keep to myself, keep reading the CTH, and watch what happens.
I’d be interested in hearing your opinion on what is the worst obstacle to US persons from coming to terms with this evil… If you’d care to share.
To me the worst obstacle is separation from God, which leads to living in sin, which leads to weakness, which leads to pride, which leads to the angel of pride Lucifer. Very simple and as old as time.
I think it was Bertrand Russel who opined on the way to implement facism/communism. “first, baffle the idiots, then, silence the intelligent.”
Don’t be an idiot!
My mother left Hungary in 1956 with her parents too, escaped by the skin of her teeth, and she still doesn’t see it 🙁 Ridin’ with Biden all the way for her!
It happens, unfortunately. But you see it, and that’s what counts.
The next trick for our Manchurian President is he will send young Republican men (and women) the war fighters to die in a failed campaign in Taiwan to die and lose in a humiliating defeat to his sons business partners in China
There are contract soldiers there, training civilians on how to wage stealth warfare against the Commies.
BS

Mass murder in slo-mo
An important consideration is the knowledge of the target population for such “information” about the “mexican auto plants”. How many people that would vote for Joe really recognize what means, or really doesn’t mean? The key is for the “publicity gurus” to get a “story” out to the morons in the media, and have those clowns promulgate the fantasy.
IMESHO, what will sway the low intelligence voters will be what food and gas will cost them, if they have a job, and what security issues that they will encounter. IMESHO, the real concern is still the ballot harvesting, “electronic voting”, and the “chain of custody” of truckloads of ballots.
Personally, I think its not just the Chinese government. The Chinese populace itself is generally brainwashed like the Germans where before WW2, ready, primed, pumped and launched into the world to colonize the USA, Africa, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, everywhere actually with the commerce of the Belt and Road but also a fast following military campaign
Even if individual chinese people are not so bad, so long as they have relatives still living in china, they may be forced against their will to do things to support the communists. Whether they are brainwashed or not, if they have living relatives in china, they cannot be trusted by any of us who love our freedom.
Pay attention to demographics. You are about 5 years behind the times.
Sounds like Democrats!
My uncle was Australasian VP for Dow Chemical, lived in Asia for 15 years, came back to the US in 1985 or so. Lived in Hong Kong for half that time. China was still pretty primitive, pre-WTO.
He HATED doing business with the Chinese, said the ink would not be dry on a contract before the Chinese would be going behind your back, cheating, lying, stealing, etc. No honor at all. He despised them. Nothing has changed.
my son had same experience in recent years.
That is true at every university.
I went to a Canadian University for graduate study. At the time, the student population in my department was Canadian, US, and UK. Recently, I checked the grad student roster – it appeared to be over 50% Chinese. The University today touts itself as a “World University” rather than Canadian.
The takeaway is our country and China have a lot in common, almost twins. Our aggravating factor issue which kneecaps us, is the utter incompetence of our permanent government and military.
There is no cheating in war.
China declared war upon the United States decades ago.
What is essential in war is only victory.
not really sure why you spewed your diatribe at the Chinese government. They’re just doing what our government is telling them to do.
Whether in the marketplace of goods and srrvices, or the marketplace of ideas,…
Conmunists must CHEAT, because they can not compete.
This is one of the few, consitent foundational principles common to every iteration of Conmunism; Fascism, Marxism, etc.
So, when it comes to goods/services, we see dumping, I.P. theft, ‘unfair’ trade practices such as China have ‘protectionist’ policies, evading tariffs etc.
In the Marketplace of Ideas, Censorship, oppression, extreme efforts at narrative control.
Religion is surpressed, unless it is the “approved” version, because religious zeal competes with the blind adherence to “the State” and “the Party”.
“By ANY means neccesary!” is not just the slogan of conmunism, its open aknowledgement of cheating, like the Taquia of the Islamists, is the “tell” that neither are really “Ideologies”; the only consistent thing they adhere to, is to aquire all POWER, WEALTH, and influence to Themselves, and NONE for anyone else .
China tends to “off” their free thinkers, innovators….the type that will stand in a Tienieman square vrs a tank for simply freedom.
USA just in beginning stage
You just described the Bidumb administration to a tee!
Your first sttement sounds eerily like where the US is heading under Liberal Socialist Democrats
Only if you include the Republicon Party leadership in CONgress, and in the 50 State R party franchises, as part of “Liberal Socialist Democrats”.
Odd that we don’t hear the US auto industry complaining about these cheap Chinese EVs that will be imported from Mexico. What are they getting out of the deal?
I remember bad orange man saying unions have sold out their members on this topic. Was wondering if union leaders still give members $ to buy Democrats?
I lived and worked in Taiwan for a long time. Common phrases heard mocking China were:
R/D = receive and duplicate
Copyright = copy is right
Tangently, this is an interesting vid about China’s economy, CRE, unemployment, etc. @ the 14 minute mark the host mentions China’s 7 (mostly already known) black swans in waiting:
Interesting to note in the video, you don’t see any homeless people living in the streets of the economically devasted districts. Homelessness does not support the optics of a pretense of economic prosperity and cannot be tolerated. God only knows what happens to you when you’re caught being homeless there. Whatever it is, I’m sure the punishment is quick and eternal.
We should consider the current US bureaucratic administration and its BlackRock Financial benefactors collectively as an extension of the Chinese Government and the Chinese Communist Party.
exactly
Condemning the Chinese validates the logic of nationalism not globalism.
Globalists come in two flavors: the leftists who intend to weaken America, and the anachronistic post-second world war dinosaurs, like the Bush and Cheney clans, who think America will automatically rule the world forever. Time is not on their side.
Agree.
I graduated from USC Medical School in 1992.
Your son is absolutely yelling the truth.
It was going on before I got there and has accelerated markedly since I graduated.
We called it the Chinese triangle, or the Chinese “V”.
The “smartest” (yes that’s in quotes) Chinese guy who studied the material sat in front and flanked to his right and left diagonally behind him sat the rest of them. Making easy visualization of his test answers to the next guy in the line on backward to the end of the “V”. We started deliberately sitting into their formation blocking their visibility which inflamed them – they began calling us racists.
Things got quite tense at one point after we exposed their cheating to the faculty who proceeded to do absolutely nothing. They were spineless. One faculty member told me personally they were worried about lawsuits.
The good news is that they were easy to beat academically. They were robots that were good at theft and not much more. The Americans of Chinese ancestry were quite formidable and as strong academically as every other American but the Chinese born ones only knew how to cheat.
Joe Blow is talking about getting tough with his boss and communist China, but he’s a liar, just like his other boss Buraq.
Corrupt clowns still can’t figure out why PDJT is so popular. They try to copy some of his rhetoric, but it won’t help them.
It’s easy to see through their lies. IMO The internal combustion engine is going to be around for a looooong time, and EVs are not going to be reliable for an even longer time. The more they talk trash about PDJT, the better he looks.
Sold.
There needs to be legislation requiring citizenship for registration and proper ID for voting, and eliminating mailing-in ballots except for properly requested and authenticated the absentee ballots and categorically outlawing ballot harvesting.

A few weeks ago, I told my brother the universal truth in all politics is, economics. Economics doesn’t care if you are woke, LGBTQXYZ, rural, city slicker, etc.
And I snipped the title of the first post of the tariffs on China. I wrote the following:
Why is it a disaster for free trade when someone else does it, but okay now? And of course just a coincidence the timing now. Remember what I said that the only universal truth in politics is, economics?
And even this is politically fake. This is on EVs from China. Did you know that China “companies” (CCP in reality) is building 3 EV plants in Mexico at $1.5-2 billion each? And these won’t be effected by the tariffs because of NAFTA which they will be imported from Mexico. Someone else was going to do the tariffs regardless of where they came from. But you know, politics. Hmmm, I recall someone saying there was going to be a bloodbath in the US automotive industry and Bull Sh!t Snooze got the vapors of the word, bloodbath.
I cropped this picture from the primary blog I read.
Well done! Keep it up, because sooner or later your brother will see!
He and many others won’t have a choice but to see; it will be slapping them silly.
Russia and China are in team together. Russia doing kinetic type stuff over there while China slips in the back door over here.
China has been at war with us a lot longer than Putin’s Russia. Russia is now China’s “team mate” because there is no other ally of consequence for them.
“Those Mexican built Chinese EVs would pass into the USA market under current USMCA trade rules and regulations, as long as they technically meet the material origination rules. This can make tariffs against the Chinese imported EVs a moot point, because China will be making them in Mexico (North American trade agreement).”
This is all well and good for these big planners with their big plans, but there is one key ingredient missing here. Somewhere along the lines these EV aficionados have forgotten that these machines do not operate on love, kisses, and unicorn farts. Before any of this great EV influx can begin the US must first update and expand, to a substantial degree, its electricity generating capacity. If we take off our blinders and rose colored glasses for a while it will become painfully obvious that the only way to meet the electricity demands of a nation reliant on EVs is to undertake a massive expansion of our nuclear generating plants. Unless and until we have these generating plants nearing completion the world of EV motoring is just a fun hobby.
Well that’s the whole point of mandating EVs! They don’t go very far, the promised charging stations will never be built and the required electricity will be exorbitant if even available! So the globalists 15 minute city will become a reality with uncharged EVs stuck in their garages all over the country!!! I get over 700 miles on a full tank of gas in my F150 pickup truck and that kind of freedom to travel is what TPTB absolutely hate! JMO
The 15 minute city will mean that’s how long you can drive your Chinese EV before it needs to recharge.
The Warsaw Ghetto was a fifteen minute city.
The plants in MeHeCo will take years to build. Won’t happen immediately and China is patient in it’s road to domination. Nuclear plants can be built, although that could take decades with all the ridiculous permitting and environmental studies, BUT if the Greenies want it done quickly I’m sure they’ll ignore or change the laws. Look at all the solar panel toxins and wind turbine bird killing machines that they allow because: “GREEN”. Plus cheap solar panels from Chimexico could also be pushed as a way for individuals to charge their EV’s. The whole EV ecosystem may come crashing down in the next few years OR engineers may figure out a way to make it limp along until we perfect nuclear fission, cheaper “neighborhood” small fusion reactors, a breakthrough in battery tech (cost, range, and charge times) and solar panel efficiency. Those $10K Chimexico EV’s will probably cost more like $20K once they have been modified to pass US DOT safety standards and upgrades that US consumers demand, but even so that’s still a disposable car for all intents and purposes. If the US auto companies don’t figure out how to compete ASAP they are doomed. If Trump is somehow prevented from ascending to the Presidency next year, then America is pretty much doomed.
I think you meant “nuclear FUSION”. Fission is what we have now.
I still don’t understand this. No expansion of electrical generation is necessary. EVs charge overnight while parked at home. They don’t draw much while doing so. It’s like running your AC, your vacuum cleaner, and your microwave all at the same time. It isn’t exactly a large load.
They charge at the lowest utilization of the grid. Even if every home has one and all are charging simultaneously overnight, it won’t overtax the grid.
I feel like the people that spout this crap have never actually done the math and aren’t engineers at any level.
However the lithium batteries explode and cause fires.
In Australia, there are 5 a week of these so much so that Australian fire fighters have had to be specially trained on how to deal with these fires because they are difficult to put out.
Lithium metal in batteries doesn’t technically explode. However once it ignites it is impossible (and very dangerous) to extinguish with conventional, commonly available firefighting equipment.
Cold temp’s deplete the charge faster, and the charging is an issue as well in those conditions. That’s a problem for certain regions.
Freight movement is also going to be a problem, with no grid to sustain the heavy trucks.
The weight factor on the pavement will also create problems.
OK. Do the math. Show your work. Cite sources.
I agree with NowutAmeen. You have stated as fact with no supporting evidence. Show your work.
Still a 25% increase on the average home usage. Needs to be generated somewhere. Infrastructure is an issue. Lots of options but “no expansion required” is not accurate.
I’ll add some math. Currently, my daily electrical use in ‘shoulder season’ here in the forest in an all-electric home is about 20.91 kwH.
A Tesla has a battery in the 80-100 kwH range. If it charges to 50% per charge cycle, that would be 40-50 kwH. Currently, at the low end of that, it would cost roughly two days of my home electrical use to charge the Tesla one time.
That would provide roughly 100-150 miles at most of range, likely less in cold, rainy Oregon. I would posit charging perhaps twice a week would be sufficient, so about 160-200 kwH per month. My current total monthly usage is about 600kwH per month, so it would increase consumption by about 26-33%.
Another factor is grid capacity. Currently, it’s sized for the relatively few, and all-electric, homes in the canyon. I’m literally at the end of service, meaning two transformers from the end of the utility’s service grid in the area. What impact would all those vehicles, perhaps 50-60 minimum, charging at the same time of day, usually at night, have on the local grid?
I could see, at minimum, an addition of step-down transformers since currently three to four primary services are supported per single transformer. The 7200 volt primary wire might need to be upsized and/or uprated to 12,000 volt, necessitating wire/insulator/transformer changes.
I come at this as a vendor, in the past, for CA’s largest electric utility and playing with my own solar/off-grid experiments a few decades ago when they were also experimenting. Where I live now most of us have little to no viability for solar. It’s simply a problem in the forest. Utility power is it.
Just yesterday the road was blocked as the utility and contractors were doing some logging to increase wire and pole safety zones. There were probably a dozen vehicles there, plus some logging equipment.
Guess what that stuff runs on? Diesel, mostly. Big energy consumers. There are electric utility trucks out there. It’s in the pilot stages. That load all adds up. However, it is math.
Math doesn’t account for freedom and choice though. Those are human characteristics.
You are so wrong. I don’t know where you live but here in the desert SW and in much of California excepting the strip by the ocean, the grid is taxed to max and beyond every summer. Hence, the rolling brown-outs and endless pleas to eliminate grid usage between 4 and 7 pm.
A friend traveled to the San Jose area for a wedding only to find herself stranded in a hotel due to brown outs with hours of no power. No AC, no lights, no elevators, no TV etc
Moreover, cars must travel long distances in the West to get from city to city. When you need to recharge where are you gonna do it?
At recharging stations there are huge lines and bad tempers and it costs a large sum of money and time. Lovely!!
Think this through. When do you think the electrical grid was built?
Months ago I listened to Dave Walsh talk about continuous availability of energy in the US, the one thing I recall him saying is that the US is operating at 95% continuously available energy.
“EVs charge overnight while parked at home.” OK, fine if you live in a home with a driveway that can access a power run from your service entrance. Around here, the streets are full of cars parked at night, and that’s not counting off-street lots for condos/townhouses. One or two chargers at strip shopping lots isn’t going to make up the diff. Maybe put parking meters on every block with integrated chargers? Going to underground all that wiring or run from light poles? Assuming light poles exist on your street.
recently I read an article from Car and Driver in which the authors chronicled a 24 hour car trip in a EV. Six hours of the trip were spent charging the EV.
Another very good example of these difficulties was when Energy Secretary Granholm tried to take a trip up the east coast in an EV – a stunt that backfired on her spectacularly:
https://nypost.com/2023/09/26/house-republicans-probe-energy-secretary-granholms-taxpayer-funded-ev-trip/
Contrary to the wet dreams of every climate change maniac ever, EV’s are NOT what they are cracked up to be – they take lots of time and electricity (the majority of which, by the way, is PRODUCED BY NATURAL GAS AND COAL currently) to run, and not for very long at a time. They are such a disaster that some car companies have ceased production of certain models because their dealers can’t sell them and they are starting to pile up.
Meanwhile, thousands just lost their jobs when when Red Lobster closed scores of stores. Great economy you got there, Joe. I’m sure the myriad unemployed will find solace in the fake tariffs.
They were already in dire straits before the recent closures. They brought in a HMFIC who’s got a reputation for being adept at closing the bad and restructuring the productive ones in advance of a Chapter 11. Now a lot of mothers have Mother’s Day gift cards in their purses that are useless or will need to be used with a more distant location.
If you’re a Communist atheist, does the meaning of morality have any bearing on your thoughts or actions?
Good question. We all grew up with the importance of morality because of our religion. IMO no religion, no morality.
Not one bit.
Heard this today on radio. Thought. Tariffs against NOTHING of consequence
More of the ongoing protection racket for China and their payees the Uniparty and big multinationals against the USA. China apparently is the second largest US debt holder.
The same deeply embedded Globalist China model in place to the detriment of the US middle class .China Joe’s green enforcement will surely continue for this to work.TRUMP2024!
TRUMP2024!
Want a Chinese EV? Here’s where to get them.
INCREDIBLE!
Pyrran: “I know I parked my around car here, somewhere.”
We need to send Chyna a million or so leftist greenies to help them out.
Winston Sterzel is a pretty sharp cookie and is very connected to the inner workings in China!!! 🤔
I think that that tariff steel and aluminum is OK
As things continue to unravel on the leftist globalist trash, they’re going to become far more desperate. These Chinese EV factories are just a very small example of the
” trillions at stake” with PDT rightfully headed back to the WH. None of this evil who are actively destroying America will fade quietly into the background come 2025. They’re not about to see their trillions put on hold for 4 years. Buckle up, things are going to get really ugly
POLLUTION
Frankly, anybody that doesn’t see it coming at this point, and so be prepared FOR it, deserves to experience the consequences of be caught unprepared.
At some point, those who do and are, are going to have to confront what to do when those that don’t and aren’t show up on our doorstep, begging for help.
IF we assist all comers, we are overwhelmed, our resources quickly depleted.
Like training for saving a drowning victom makes clear, they can pull you down with them so both die, if you do not account for this, in your training.
Best to have the conversation now, rather than then.
Snakes.
EV’s, please! I’ve read multiple articles on EV’s stacking up in lots by the 1000’s all over Europe and here in the U.S; no one wants them. Yep, they will be cheap (around 10,000) but they will still have the Electric Vehicle problems. The batteries will have limited charging cycles, you can only charge them so many times and that is that. The city commuter car. 5 minutes or less commute. They won’t be driving those on long trips. Semi comes by and watch them fly!
We already know who owns the government and it ain’t the people!
Vinfast, a communist company which had no experience manufacturing cars, was given $3B by the Republican NC legislature to build an EV and battery plant. It can’t sell anything and is stockpiling cars.
“70% of VinFast’s EV deliveries last year were to other companies owned by its CEO
The vehicles were previously sold to a company owned by VinFast’s CEO, Pham Nhat Vuong. However, when the journalists tried to find the video later, it was gone from the platform. Luckily, they had screenshots showing employees admitting that the vehicles were stored on location for a long time.
After gathering satellite imaging and other open-source intelligence data (OSINT), they asked for help from the Bellingcat geolocation community to locate the field in the video. The investigation revealed that this was one of the several places in Vietnam where VinFast vehicles sold to companies owned by Pham Nhat Vuong were stored. Using trade records, financial analysis, and on-the-ground reporting, Hunterbrook Media discovered that hardly anyone is buying VinFast’s electric vehicles.
According to Hunterbrook Media, articles critical of the VinFast were taken down, while critics ended up in jail. It’s a story similar to others in authoritarian countries. Last year, people discovered similar EV graveyards in China, where carmakers abandoned electric cars that nobody wanted.
No stone turned at VinFast’s US factory in North Carolina
VinFast is lying not only to its Vietnamese peers but also to the US customers and investors. The company announced a big US expansion, with a $4 billion factory planned in North Carolina. The factory should’ve started production by the end of 2024, but no stone has been moved nine months after breaking ground.”
https://www.autoevolution.com/news/vinfast-allegedly-faked-its-sales-numbers-its-vehicles-are-actually-rotting-in-the-fields-232774.html
So how does Vinfast make money if it’s not selling the cars?
Government subsidies American taxpayers and people with more money than brains.
They could make a little money by taking the cars straight from the factory to a salvage yard for recycling. Instead they will let them rot in a field that will become a toxic wast dumb, where future tax dollars will have to be spent money to clean the mess-up!
Look at what these creepy environmentalist are doing to our world. How many live have had their health ruined and how many hugh hole have been dug in the earth for the materials used to build these things, that no one wants.
The company didnt Vin Fast!
Haha
Has anyone looked at the charging requirements, to see how big of an alternating current gas powered generator you would need, to effectively make one of these a hybrid, I wonder.
Just a thought,…
What would happen if people targeted these FILTHY LIBERAL/Chinese/BlackRock cars and destroyed Them ?
Asking for a friend.
The destroyed cars would count as sales, then unsold inventory would be moved (sold) to replace the destroyed cars. Communist bookeeping.
And they would just collect the insurance that you are subsidizing with your tax dollars.
For you= Lose/Lose
For Blackrock= Win/Win
FJB, Lets Go Brandon!!!!!!!!!!!! SPIT!
Don’t forget just some of the Blackrock players.
Blackrock also runs… the White House. Key WH positions have been held by the CEO of Blackrock, his wife, and others.
– Brian Deese (sustainability at BlackRock) now runs the National Economic Council
– Adewale Adeyemo is the deputy Treasury secretary.
– Tom Donilon’s wife, Catherine Russell, is the White House Personnel Director. (In that position Donilon’s wife controls every hire in the Office of the Presidency.)
– Eric Van Nostrand joins Treasury Department
– Michael Pyle is now the chief economic advisor to Vice President Harris.

Adewale Adeyemo? What an amazing upward career trajectory for someone who wasn’t born in the US and has a somewhat thin resume. Usually when one is born in the US, such jobs are possible because of contacts established over lifetimes, but Adeyemo has magically overcome this barrier thanks to Larry Fink and is also first president of the Obama foundation. Hmm, he’s Nigerian…wasn’t Stacy Abrams “helping” this country with their elections? Didn’t the “duke” of SoCal just conduct a faux royal tour there? Isn’t the country not only prominent in the promotion of online scams, but also known for its prominent use of Bitcoin? Per the BBC – “A 2020 online survey by data platform Statista found that 32% of those Nigerians who took part used cryptocurrencies – the highest proportion of any country in the world.”*
And of course Adayemo “ascended,” courtesy of FINK (D-CA) and Yellen, to his current position during the Covid crisis, when most people were worrying about dying relatives, closed employers, and how to obtain toilet paper, and authoritian response by the govt was at its height.
*BBC, “Cryptocurrencies: Why Nigeria is a global leader in Bitcoin trade”
Also note that crypto use began in Nigeria (as reported by Coindesk) because of police brutality, an echo of the same narrative used here in the US: “Interest in crypto surged last fall, when activists with the ‘EndSARS’ movement, protesting against police brutality in Nigeria, used bitcoin to raise funds.”
And to bring this article back around, “It’s hard to estimate how much money is moving from Nigeria to China this way, Chung said, but he has some anecdotal evidence. ‘I know of individual [merchants] who transact over $2 million to $5 million daily, and they are countless, and the numbers are rapidly increasing,’ he said.”
Of course, the common denominator between these countries isn’t Chy-na, but certain leadership controlled by financial entities such as Fink.
Just curious. So if Americans bite (forced to) and the nation is flooded with these lithium ion EVs can someone at some point send out a special signal that causes them all to explode simultaneously? (Causing untold deaths and destruction of property – homelessness?)
The answer to that depends on if they were designed and built for that capability. It would not be too difficult to design. The trick would be to make that function adequately engineered so that it does not happen by accident. If once these vehicles start coming into the US from Mexico, we see some sporadic ‘car bombs’, then you will know it is likely that indeed it is designed for this.
I wonder if we’re going to see an increase in electric vehicle fires as Chinese made EVs start to flood the market?
I don’t want any Chinese made products.
Me neither. But look around your house and tell us if you find anything that was not made in China.
Extend it farther; even though many Americans say they don’t want cheap Chinese crap their houses are full of it.
With Joes latest mandate of no new ICE vehicles by 2032, they are literally “Banking on” that market control; anyone that wantsa new car, will HAVE to purchase one made by China in Mexico, with relatively cheap labor, or far more expensive one built here.
We KNOW what happens, we can see it with drill bits, power tools, lawn furniture, etc.
Chinese crap captures the market.
Look for locally made goods and the raw sources of goods.
If these were real tariffs, the free-market capitalists would be complaining endlessly. So far, not much push back.

This website is the best; great information much appreciated, Sundance!

I second that.
I still don’t want an EV. There is no place to charge it at an apartment complex. They can flood the market all they want but they still won’t sell. They are like a Pinto Pony, junk.
Communists never could sell cars to Americans. Now that they run our government, they will force us.
Chery vehicles in Australia were found to have asbestos in their brake pads
That’s right the WH squatters lie about everything Except the part about Russia invading Ukraine. That really happened. Biden said so.
‘One of the reasons President Trump said the U.S. auto industry would suffer a “bloodbath,” is specifically because the current Chinese auto companies are targeting these EVs in the $10,000 or less range. If you want to see what it looks like when cheap Chinese EVs start to flood a consumer market, visit Russia – the Western sanctions have only increased this flow. I can see it clear as day.’
Some suggest:
Russia and China do not align with the climate canard and its suicide pact being executed by the yellow nations on the map.
So if Russia is being flooded with cheap Chinese EVs, it would appear to be incidental, and/or playing a part in the global theater supporting the canard to encourage the West to commit suicide on that pretext – not because Russia seriously believes the canard itself.
As with most ploys by those called “the left”, there are several apparent simultaneous goals with the biden tariffs and cheap Chinese EVs, dovetailed with other machinations. Its like watching a hydra in action.
The powers behind the biden regime are pushing the US middle-class-and-below DOWN economically, this is clear. Bidenpuppet and apparatchiks say what they are doing is necessary because of “climate” and “equity” imperatives, the “E” and “S” of ESG.
EVs are part of this downward push: The forced mass replacement of internal combustion vehicles with EVs in the US accomplishes several profoundly harmful things, including crippling the US transportation system which will cripple the substantive economy and further blight the populace, plus decimating the US automotive industry (thus much of the rest of US industry too) while boosting China’s industry. (China controls the tech supply chain including batteries.)
EVs will cripple the transportation system because of short range and long charging times.
Its important to note that even dirt-cheap EVs will cripple the transportation system, and even dirt-cheap EVs will require battery replacement every 5-10 years, an unaffordable proposition for most Americans which means further economic crippling.
US Machination: Impose fake tariffs on Chinese EVs while forcing EVs to replace ICE vehicles and pushing the middle class & below DOWN economically. Let the pressure build for some time, as China builds EV plants in Mexico. Let the people cry out for relief in the form of cheaper vehicles. Then flood the market with cheap Chinese EVs and claim to be “a democracy” by lifting the fake tariffs because of “the will of the people”. > Followed by all the profound EV harms to the US and benefits to China.
Does it seem that all this is designed to bring the West down while lifting up China and the rest of BRICS+?
The only thing that will stop this Western hari-kari insanity is to set the record straight on the big climate lie hypnotizing the West. As long as the lie is entrenched, we are going to continue toward the cliff edge and over.

Russia is only aligned with China, because the insane post cold war behaviors of the West PUSHED Russia towards China.
How is it that Russia, awash in petro energy, has been flooded with these 6pak EVs from China?
Bears further in depth exploration?
The forced mass adoption of EVs will further cripple the US economy. They are simply not feasible for most transportation needs, and the problem is even worse for freight hauling.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/transitioning-fleet-trucks-electric-raises-costs-114-percent-report-warns
‘Taki Darakos, the vice president of vehicle maintenance and fleet service at PITT OHIO, raised concerns about the high costs involved in electrifying fleets.’
‘The company incorporated some EVs in its fleet, and Mr. Darakos said: “Increased vehicle weight from the batteries reduced our payload and limited our usage of haul. These limitations have impacted the company’s timeline on how and when to transition to ZEV.”
The American Transportation Research Institute estimated that electrifying the entire vehicle fleet in the United States will consume 40 percent of the United States’ existing electricity generation while requiring a 14 percent overall increase in energy generation.
“Yet our aging grid can hardly meet current demands,“ Mr. Darakos said. ”In California, where rolling blackouts and brownouts are not uncommon, utilities would need to generate an additional 57 percent beyond their current output to support an electric vehicle fleet.”
He pointed out that a truck driver can refuel a new diesel truck within 15 minutes for a journey of up to 1,200 miles. However, charging an EV truck for two hours provides a range of only about 200 miles.’
And:
‘…there is currently no network in the United States where truck drivers can take rest breaks and charge their EV batteries at the same time.
CFC estimates that electrifying the United States’ current commercial vehicle fleet would necessitate a $1 trillion investment.’
The only hope of stopping this crushing blow is to correct the mass climate hysteria brainwashing with facts.

Lying, liars. That’s all these people do in the swamp is lie. It’s sickening
The EV market is failing in Australia, who was way ‘ahead’ of the US in accepting Chinese EV’s. The answer is simple….we do have the power here. Aside from the fact that EV’s are not ‘green’, are not resaleable, do not wear well, lack the facility for fast recharge, cannot travel far, are not commercially viable, etc., and whose batteries can actually explode….all that needs to be done is….DO NOT BUY AN EV. Without our participation in this market, the EV market fails. Simple.
Hm,…old lithium battery to IED,…perhaps the Cookbook needs a new edition…
Not many in the public square are aware of this. This information needs to be disseminated much more widely.
I thought Tarriffs especially on China were bad, or at least they were when
President Trump imposed them?
Elon Musk knows this and I’m sure he’s not happy. from nothing, he built Tesla and now he has to fight the Chinese and our government and the Mexican government just to do business. stolen elections have serious consequences.
Non story. Electric vehicles peaked last year. Unless this admin becomes entrenched the next 8 years it’s already over. They won’t make a dent here.
You peasants will buy what we sell or you will buy nothing!
You will eat fake, tainted food or you will eat nothing!
Or, let’s expedite the entire process and just let us jab you two, three, or four more times.

These would be basically golf carts, low mass, bypassing all safety and regulatory requirements. That’s the only way to get to a $10k/unit. Like with the scamdemic, the Uniparty’s intent would be to circumvent statute and historical practice and force people to do their bidding, and buy as they’re told.
It will fail, and people will further distrust the Uniparty, like with the scamdemic.
Boy, do these monsters want an open border, or what? Humans, EV’s, anything. They want the slaves to just shut up and do as told.
Watch the Uniparty remove liability from the makers of these low mass golf carts, like they did for big Pharma and the clot shot. Because little golf carts are nowhere near as survivable as machines built to decades old standards, and the Uniparty’s friends know it. My sister is dead because of the jab, and others close suffered effects. Who in your family will be at risk from the golf carts?
And the free speech absolutist and electric god Elon Musk has helped contribute to China’s EV growth…. Elon Musk is a liar, fraud, and government welfare queen.
As Trump has said many times since this non-tariff tariff was announced, it is “a joke” and it will literally kill the American-made automobile businesses.
Don’t buy a BYD vehicle. Problem solved. Let them spend a billion on a new plant in MX. They can then choke on their cars…
Yes, let the cartels have the EVs. Maybe it would diminish the violence if they can’t rely on their transportation?
Aside the fact that EVs are massive mal-investments, and even if the tariffs were aimed at real products from China or anywhere else, they would be multiple decades too late. Tarrifs to protect industries must be applied while you still have industries to protect. Clown World, U.S. A. Branch, got rid of most of our industries long ago and now there are none to protect.
The financialized “Service” economy only benefits global bankers via their theft and skimming. Once a country gives up their true wealth generating systems, that is industrial capability, that countries power will diminish. It is just a matter of time.
china and budlight are two feathers that flock together … both are satanic with evil intentions…
1 more thing…Fjb
Fair Warning: The CCP built EV’s are networked into the PLA and can be remote controlled by them.
I think the Mexican cartels will be making a lot of money extorting all these new auto manufacturers in Mexico.
Rob,
If the fentanyl industry is any indication, the cartels will easily reach an accomodation with the CCP.
With Fentanyl, the CCP supplies the precursors, and the chemists/know how, the PLA supervises distribution, which is conducted by the Cartels in a symbiotic relationship.
Cheap EVs would be the conduit for smuggling drugs & other non-legal items. At 10,000 USD, probably cheaper than hiring human smugglers and far more reliable.
Potempkin village tariffs. Makes sense.😂
It is always all politics all of the time for the Democrat Party. Every President they have ever had follows the same script. Install as much Communism as possible for three years and then do a couple of the key things your opponent can campaign on in the fourth year to win another election. This followed by an immediate return to Communism.
Wash, rinse and spin, ad nauseum. You would think American voters would have noticed this by now. All Republics eventually succumb to the ignorance of their public sector. I hope we will be the first to end this pattern, but I don’t see very many alert people anymore. Unless watching slapstick humor on You Tube is a sign of alertness.
This reminds of the old declaration from either Kruschev or Breshniv (I forgot exactly which) that “the capitalist will sell us the rope with which we will hang him.” The Soviets didn’t succeed in that, in part, because of Reagan. The Chi-Coms have modified the saying to read “the blind capitalist will allow us to steal his rope, and help us build his own gallows.”
So a non existent president does non existent tariffs on non existent products. No problem. Our government leadership has been non existent for almost four years now .
Just like China sends thousands of Chinese slaves to Italy to make leather shoes and bags … to make more money on “Made in Italy” leather products – than made from China leather products.
Also … explains why COVID exploded in Italy.
