UK HS2 project could have been completed if given to Chinese contractors... 😉

Next: BYD electric London taxis with sliding doors and heated seats during cold weather.

BYD makes best EV cars in the world. I had my BYD EV for 3 years racked up almost 200, 000 km. without any problems. I don’t understand why the west wants to prevent its citizens from cheaper and higher technology vehicles.

You see the hypocrisy in politics. Britain is always going to do what’s financially in its best interest. Even if the USA disagrees. That said if this trade war continues, Britain will have to choose sides. The USA will never let itself become dependent on a county it can’t trust or control. OPEC taught us that lesson.

This will spook America that is afraid of its own shadow these days 😂

We londoners must boycott these buses to show our loyalty and obedience to 🇺🇸

Alexander Dennis and BYD joint venture seems to have worked well in the UK, and more recently, NZ.

Saw one of these buses being tested on my local route. Look pretty good!

You spelled "double" wrong in the thumbnail

Our transjakarta Bus also from BYD and then the AC so cold we are freezing

The fact that the cost to buy and to run it, is not important, is weird.

US Government: These tires collect intelligence every day and secretly send it to the Chinese government.

[abcabc]

These buses are a national security threat, because they are fitted with back door. 😂

[bensteel]

You would not see me get on a Chinese electric bus. When these things catch fire they really catch fire like a furnace.

US: these are national security threat
