Chinese automakers want to come to US. They could be here fairly soon

31. Look how well English exceptionalism worked out for them.

It's been a downhill slide since they lost their empire, and that slide continues as they are now regretting Brexit.

Exceptionalism is not going to work out any better for the U.S.A..

China has become a major industrial power. That's the reality we live in.

With a few exceptions China can match the quality of anything made in the U.S.A. or Europe.

Here in the U.S.A we're going to be as surprised by Chinese cars as we were by Japanese cars.

Today many U.S. passenger vehicles are nostalgia cars, Corvettes and Challengers for example. Our exports are limited because monster American Trucks and SUVs are simply too big and clumsy to drive comfortably on city streets in much of the world.

Personally I want car culture to go away. We ought to be rebuilding our cities, turning them into affordable attractive places where car ownership is unnecessary. The people with the smallest environmental footprints generally live in cities, don't own cars, and have a largely vegetarian diet. We don't have to force that lifestyle on anyone because many people would prefer it but the opportunity is denied them.
