Something of a contrast with the UK experience.

China had a very clear EV strategy providing a range of incentives to manufacturers. China now produces 30% of global car volumes.

They clearly overdid the incentives. The end result is, unsurprisingly, a market with huge overcapacity - discounts, large stocks, likely business failures. They may even consider this a price worth paying for global market dominance in the future.

The UK by contrast has lost most car manufacturing leaving only a few foreign owned companies doing mostly assembly work. The UK is world class in creating barriers (eg: planning, nimbys, delays etc) to efficient investment in facilities which could compete.

We left the EU so we are no longer seen as the natural European manufacturing hub despite our manufacturing heritage.

My guess - in 10 years time China will be globally dominant car manufacturers with an industry which by then largely aligns with market demand. The UK will still be doing screwdriver jobs for foreign owned companies.

Former Great Britain cannot compete in manufacture whilst we have the worlds most expensive commercial power, the country's economy is disappearing round the U bend as the national debt rises to unpayable levels, meanwhile the east gets on with becoming the worlds economic powerhouse.

Whether people wish to help this all happen buy buying Chinese cars at supposed cut rate is up to them, our govts of the day (not a fag paper between them) don't mind because each purchase brings taxes in which helps keep the plates spinning for another while, hope those buying into Chinese cars are renting them one way or another and not buying outright, the long term viability of both the cars themselves and the business making them isn't yet known.
