Chinese markets have much more competition. The car market especially is one where manufacturers in the west get serious government support to keep going, thus lessening market pressure to deliver a good vehicle.

While the Chinese state wants there to be Chinese car manufacturers, it both doesn't give a gently caress which ones are the succesful ones and doesn't want any of them to gain a dominant position in the market which it could use to effectuate anti-competitive or even political power.

So Chinese engineers need to deliver excellent value for money vehicles filled with features consumers want. Western, Japanese and South Korean manufacturers not so much.


Incidentally, this kind of market, free from monopoly power, is exactly the kind of market Smith and Ricardo etc were talking about when they wrote about a "free market", and they envisioned the state's role as primarily creating such a market and keeping it free from monopoly power. Turns out a market like that actually is pretty good at creating innovation and value for consumers. But it requires a state beholden to the working class (whom are also the consumers, incidentally) and not the capitalist class, for else state power will be wielded to reinforce rather than break up monopoly power.

yeah the inversion of the meaning of free market is sad

the change from film to digital cameras happened without needed enormous regulatory changes and social investment in new infrastructure . I don’t know if it’s comparable

also Ice ve battery does the same thing. it gets you from a to b in the same amount of time. digital photography is a whole new level of what you can do with pictures and changes the experience drastically

film to digital camera is like going from walking or riding a horse to a car on a highway
