The West maybe look weak, but I can see they account for that. Let's see if their caution wins against their greed. If the west greedy, it's CCP's victory. Otherwise, there's reason why the leader of first world is called "The World Police", which as much as fucked up they are, at least I don't need to worry about arbitrary lockdown.

Those manufacturers better find somewhere else to manufacture the EV. If I am a CCP leader that want to conquer the world, I hostage the manufacturing, logistics, and communications so that I can counter USA and Co's influence. Bonus point I can just yoink Indonesia's civilian population, considering they hate the west, and I can just fund those kadrun the way the Taliban is funded, then bumrush the nation in the chaos.

Say that, but change Russians to moskals. I can see someone mutter Cyka Blyat equivalent in Ukrainian.
