I still wouldn‘t willingly enter a Chinese car or a Tesla.
I have a chinese car from GWM, the build quality is on par with most european brands. and by that I mean it beats the living shit out of american meakers +Fiat.
I'll engage in good faith: why not?
Probably because one uses slaves in the manufacturing process, and the other has the Elon Musk affiliation and is therefore a nazi car.
China has massively boosted the living conditions of workers since the 1980s-1990s. The accusations of sweatshops 40 years ago made sense, but in 2025 they're absurd, especially seeing the vast improvement in life quality in China compared to other countries which 100 years ago were in an identical condition, such as India or Bangladesh.
One of them is safe
Why wouldn't you enter a Chinese car?
Eww. Not without their consent I hope.
