City in a poor China province becomes a leading electric vehicle production hub

The city of Liuzhou is in one of China’s poorest provinces. But as part of Beijing’s “Made In China 2025” industrial strategy, it is now home to EV car plants for five major automakers, after putting investment and incentives into electric vehicles and by pushing local industry to expand production and infrastructure. CNBC's Eunice Yoon reports from Liuzhou on the city's meteoric rise.

"poorest province in China." Then show a city with beatiful skyline. GOOD.

As a normal consumer I want to thank China for all off its products

[gocolago]

USA can't compete. 😂 have to pay overpriced cars with substandard quality and tech.

If cheap labour is the criteria for making cheap EV then India, Pakistan etc would win hands down.
China is successful because it has cut through a lot of barriers between layers of departments, companies etc that have led to higher cost in the old companies.
The Chinese have out competed everyone and now they are claiming some excuse like “ over capacity “ to impose punitive tariffs on the Chinese EV.
Hahahaha….
When Facebook gave away freebies for you to use their products….it is smart business.
Later, they will whack you with some hefty fees.
It is OK if american companies dominate .

Last time, they claimed that the Chinese companies will never do well as they lack market intelligence or they are socialist companies.
Now they claim that the Chinese companies are too smart, successful and cheap.
That’s what happens when you outcompete them.

Even one of the poorest cities still look rather impressive!

Chinese "overcapacity" is the funniest sore loser propaganda i have ever heard

[hallowwin]

This poorest Chinese city is a threat to United States National security!

[Herodotus__]

Anything to bash China, "poorest province, " wish my poor province in the States was like this😂

[MacrosFTW]

If that is the poorest province, then China is doing something right. I tbought it would look like Detroit or something.

[greentraveler]

Japanese Germans Koreans export most of its cars abroad than its domestic consumption demand, is that also industrial overcapacity? The same to USA's iPhones iPads MacBooks Boeings, overcapacity? 😂😂😂

A city of poorest province in China looks cleaner and moderner than NYC.

If the Chinese government is spending their money to “subsidise” manufacturing, how does the US government spend their money, I wonder.

[ecrush]

If that kind of city is considered "poor", then I am happy for them.

The city in the poorest province looks much better than Montreal. Much of the infrastructure here has fallen into disrepair

[hengongchua]

One of poorest province of China the city looks cleaner, more orderly, more developed than Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore the silicone valley of the east as what they have claimed.
Obviously it is also safer even for solo lady to walk around at night.

[gwbnncc]

This is one of the poorest city in china let that sink in

[mysticalwind]

Some people in the US need to grow up and stop crying and stop the endless finger pointing. It's beyond pathetic.

[codebrop]

after the video of the city...

Let's re-establish the word "POOR"

[wynterwei]

Overcapacity means I can buy a 55-inch, 4K144hz gaming miniled TV in China for less than 3, 000 yuan (about $415). Thank you, China
