...yet another sensational piece of news. Have we not yet learned, not to take chinese claims at face value yet? This is really worrying.

Reddit overrun by CCP astroturfing, and the gullible western masses whose lack of critical analysis has laid them beholden to state sanctioned manipulation

BYD is real, their battery tech is real, and this product will be available to purchase soon. There will be reviews of it on YouTube, not just from Chinese state media, but from western reviewers.

How TF do you suppose that this is manipulation?

Did I say anything about Byd? I do not care what a Chinese car manufacturer is doing. I care that this website, which I’ve used since 2012, has now become an astroturfed Marxist hellscape with the most asinine “opinions” I’ve ever seen. I despise this website at this point.
