There are countless reasons why consumers are reluctant to switch to electric vehicles, with pricing consistently listed as a top concern. Western governments have warned that they will ban fossil fuel vehicle production in the not-so-distant future to meet emissions targets despite lacking the infrastructure or demand for EVs. Every government is hoping that consumers will purchase their new EVs domestically but no one has been able to compete with Chinese EV manufacturing.
China has pumped over $230 billion into its growing EV sector since 2009. Batteries account for around 40% of the total cost of EVs, and companies like BYD are able to maintain low prices are they own the supply chain to create these batteries from the raw materials to the finished packs. BYD has announced that its newest line will cost as little as $9,555, a price no other EV manufacturer has been able to provide.
Additionally, the company has installed its “God’s Eye” driver-assistance system in three models priced under 100,000 yuan ($13,688), providing users with an autonomous driving experience. Yale Zhang, managing director at Automotive Foresight, compared BYD’s developments to DeepSeek, which was developed to compete with ChatGPT at a fraction of the price. “Technology does not need to be high-end and they can fight a price war here,” he stated.
This is especially dire news for Germany and, therefore, Europe, as its auto industry continually declines. Lawmakers refuse to back away from their climate pledges and are forcing manufacturers to make a premature switch without any demand. Volkswagen plans to close at least three factories by 2027 due to declining sales amid the country’s exigency to eliminate fossil fuels, and China has been eyeing their vacant facilities. Germany abandoned economic objectives for climate change objectives and believes it must reduce carbon emissions by 65% within a 5-year period, followed by an 88% reduction into 2040 before meeting gas net neutrality in 2045. China has no such restrictions.
China’s own auto industry grew 156% over a two-year period from 2021 to 2023 after exporting 4.14 million vehicles last year. China is not adhering to the climate change agenda, and those same regulations derived from fictional data are not strangling China’s energy-dependent sectors. Tariffs are preventing the Chinese from offloading EVs to the West.
Even with the 100% tariffs placed on Chinese autos by Canada and the US, this vehicle is far cheaper than any other available EV. These vehicles would be incredibly popular in the West, but rest assured they will find a way to prevent them from being imported or even street legal.

A congratulations is in order for newly appointed Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. RFK secured his position in a 52-48 Senate vote on party lines, aside from Mitch McConnell who broke ranks and attempted to block Kennedy’s nomination. It is peculiar to see who is scrambling to flee before the war on public health begins.
Dr. Lawrence A. Tabak suddenly resigned from his position as principal deputy director at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) days before Kennedy was appointed. Tabak was the second-in-command behind Anthony Fauci during the entire COVID era. The GOP investigation into the origins of COVID found that Tabak was part of a sensitive phone call with Fauci and NIH Director Francis Collins in which they schemed to publish a scientific paper to “prove” COVID was not created in a lab – let alone a lab he helped to fund.
Tabak “[dealt] with all of the messy or intractable problem[s]” and was “often… the fall guy when things [went] sideways,” Jeremy Berg, former director of NIH’s National Institute of General Medical Sciences, said on social media following news of Tabak’s resignation. “Larry has shoveled so much s— over the years that he would have been well qualified to work behind the elephants in an old circus.”

The left-wing media is in a frenzy. NBC News , for example, called Kennedy a “ high-profile anti-vaccine activist, known for spreading misinformation.” The media is warning that Kennedy will have oversight over Medicare and Medicaid and are leaving an ominous impression that he will somehow infringe on these programs.
Who will lose? Make America Healthy Again not only targets the known players like Big Pharma but food manufacturers also have much to lose. RFK Jr. would like to change the nutrition guidelines and force the FDA to adhere to stricter guidelines whereby Americans cannot be fed literal poison. “I look forward to working with the more than 80,000 employees at HHS to free the agencies from the smothering cloud of corporate capture so they can pursue their mission to make Americans once again the healthiest people on Earth,” Kennedy said.
This win is more solidified proof that the people are pushing for change. Millions were spent in an attempt to block Kennedy from entering the HHS. Every news publication has labeled him a conspiracy theorist who the people should fear.
Back to Mitch McConnel – open evidence shows that numerous pharmaceutical companies have been lining his pockets. Pfizer donated $1 million to the Kentucky Republican Party, connected to McConnel. Abbive, Eli Lily, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Roche Pharmaceuticals, Amgen, Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, Celgene, Sunovion, and Allergan have all donated to McConnell’s past campaigns, Super PACS, or an affiliated fundraising committee. They’ve all been bought out and it is public record.
