      ⁠ ideas like “cultural appropriation” are a weak woke American invention. Which, ironically enough, itself is the very act that is actually an act of cultural appropriation. Nobody asked those illiterates to feel offended on behalf of every imaginable group and nobody should ever care for such attention seeking behaviour.

Well, (not exactly) but years later China is now building very good hypercars, in the form of the Nio EP-9, they have a good stake in the European SUV market with the Lynk&Co 01 and Hongqi HS9, and now BYD is coming over with the Dolphin, a seemingly decent hatchback, that isn't a stolen design!

    All jokes aside, Jeremy's definitely not wrong about China's substantial progress. I mean he himself has praised China's motorway network from going from zero in the 80s to now over *ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES* of it and counting (largest expressway system in the world by length). Not to mention China's high-speed rail network now connects every province as well as Hong Kong (West Kowloon station) and Macau (Zhuhai station right next to the Macau border). Politics aside, because while China's system is very much restrictive, there's no denying that they're advancing when it comes to being an economic and technological power. They've made some incredible engineering feats designing all this.
