Nah, you're just a propagandized westerner who hasn't done the most cursory research on the degree of automation in Chinese EV industry. Enjoy malding in your ignorance while your country's industry crashes and burns
The degree of automation is not relevant to a discussion about why they're being kept out of other countries, or anything to do with Big Oil.
That China has terrible workers rights is a fact. That China also has a lot of automation is an unrelated fact that is also true.
Automation is unrelated to EV price?
Its unrelated to a conversation about the oil industry and lobbyists, obviously, yes.
Mostly. Price is a complex problem. Cost is a floor factor and automation affects that somehow. It is hard to know when automation lower prices as this depends on relative labor costs which have been going up in China.
