Wipe the shit off your eye and read again:
China overtakes Japan as world's top car exporter
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-65643064
Officials figures released in the last week show China exported 1.07
million vehicles in the period, up 58% compared to the first quarter of
2022.
At the same time Japan's vehicle exports stood at 954,185, after edging
up 6% from a year earlier.
China's exports were boosted by demand for electric cars and sales to
Russia.
Last year, China overtook Germany to become the world's second largest
car exporter.
According to China's General Administration of Customs, China exported
3.2 million vehicles in 2022, compared to Germany's 2.6 million vehicle exports.
The shift away from fossil fuels has helped fuel the rise of China's
motor industry.
First quarter exports of new energy vehicles (NEVs), which includes
electric cars, rose by more than 90%, compared to a year earlier.
Tesla's China arm, SAIC - the owner of the MG brand - and BYD, which is backed by veteran US investor Warren Buffett, are among China's top
exporters of NEVs.
Elon Musk's electric carmaker has a huge manufacturing plant in Shanghai which exports to regions including Japan and Europe.
Tesla's 'Gigafactory' is currently capable of producing 1.25 million
vehicles a year, and the company is planning to further increase capacity.
Last month, it started making Model Y sport utility vehicles for export
to Canada.
China has also seen exports to Russia surge since the start of the
Ukraine war, as Western countries imposed trade sanctions on Moscow.
Last, year, Chinese carmakers - including Geely, Chery and Great Wall -
saw their market share in Russia jump after rivals including Volkswagen
and Toyota quit the country following the invasion of Ukraine.

I assume all Chinese cars are made in China while Japanese car makers
have factories outside Japan in places like the US and Mexico. Import duties into China are very high forcing companies to build cars there
if they want to sell there.
I hear in the future the Chinese may eat our lunch with cheap electric
cars.
