BYD just did something the West kept calling “impossible”: 10% → 97% in 9 minutes. In winter. On a mass-produced car. While Western consumers complain EVs charge too slow, China quietly rebuilt the entire charging ecosystem, 20,000 flash-stations by year’s end, a charger every 100 km, and batteries so... show more

NEWS: BYD today ‌unveiled its second-generation Blade Battery with "Flash Charging 2.0" • LFP • Peak charging speed: 1,500kW • 20% to 97% charge in under 12 minutes, even at -20°C (-4°F) • Charges 10% to 70% in 5 mins • 5% higher energy density • BYD has increased the guaranteed capacity retention rate by 2.5% and promised a lifetime warranty on the battery cells • Delivers a driving range of up to 1,006 km (621 miles) on the (optimistic) CLTC cycle, an improvement from the ~600 km (373 miles) range in the first-generation Blade Battery. The new battery would likely mean a 450 mile range if tested on the EPA cycle. • Ten BYD models will be the first to feature the battery • The Yangwang U7, equipped with a 150-kWh battery pack, "achieves a pure electric range of 1,006 km, while the fully electric Denza Z9GT have a range of up to 1,036 km" on CLTC cycle. BYD also aims to expand its "Flash Charging" network to 20,000 stations by the end of 2026, including 2,000 on highways. The company had built more than 4,000 stations as of March 5. However, keep in mind that in the past BYD has been slow to roll out promised ultra fast charging infrastructure expansion.

EV ANXIETY IS NO LONGER ABOUT RANGE. IT'S ABOUT CHARGING RELIABILITY. ⚡ Imagine stopping at a DC fast charger on a highway and getting just 10% charge in an hour. The battery had the range. The charger didn't have the performance. India doesn't just need more chargers. It needs reliable chargers that actually deliver the promised charging speeds. #EV #ElectricVehicles #EVCharging #India #ChargingInfrastructure

CBS Sunday Morning went to a London auto showroom and interviewed British car owners, traditional dealers and industry experts about the rise of Chinese EVs in Europe. What they found quietly destroys a lot of American mythology. British car owner Justin Watson is replacing his Lexus with a BYD. He described the ride as “like sitting on a throne” and said its technology, comfort and handling surpassed anything he had driven before. His conclusion was blunt: The era of “cheap Chinese cars don’t last” is over. A London dealer with more than 50 years in the business, long associated with Volkswagen, said he never imagined he would one day sell Chinese cars. Then he saw the quality, the technology and the sales growth. He changed his mind. Ben Nelmes of New Automotive explained why. Chinese EV makers now hold major advantages across batteries, supply chains and manufacturing integration. BYD started with batteries and built upward, controlling far more of its own production chain and allowing it to make cars at least 25% cheaper than Western competitors. And the technology is no longer “cheap imitation.” Chinese EVs are producing the things Western social media keeps going viral over: 360-degree tank turns. Emergency floating capability. Ultra-long range. Charging from 10% to 70% in minutes. The old stereotype of “Made in China = cheap and inferior” is collapsing in real time. Then comes the American part. The Biden administration imposed a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs. Trump kept the wall in place. In practical terms, Chinese EVs are shut out of the U.S. market. When CBS asked whether that protects American jobs, Nelmes gave the more uncomfortable answer: protectionism may protect jobs in the short term, but over time it kills competition, slows innovation, weakens consumer choice and leaves domestic automakers sheltered from the very future they are supposed to compete in. If the future of cars is electric, then blocking the world’s strongest EV competitors does not prepare American automakers for that future. It protects them from it. The irony gets worse. Before the segment ended, the British owner laughed that he had relatives in New Jersey who were “absolutely jealous” that he could drive such a good Chinese car. And here is the fact protectionists cannot explain away: BYD is effectively shut out of the U.S. market behind a 100% tariff wall, while Tesla is allowed to sell normally in China. And BYD still became the world’s top-selling battery-electric vehicle maker. China did not need to ban Tesla to compete with it. It let Tesla enter. Build locally. Sell freely. Fight for Chinese consumers. The United States looked at BYD and chose a wall. Yet even without access to the American market, BYD still outsold Tesla globally. That says more about competitiveness than a thousand speeches about “fair competition.” If your company needs its biggest rival excluded from your home market while that rival beats you everywhere else, you are not defending competitiveness. You are hiding from it.

#Ethiopia is the first country in the world to ban imports of non-Electric Vehicles (EV), since January 2024. It’s now building an advanced EV charging infrastructure. The country has one of the world’s cheapest electricity costs per kWh. Almost 100% of Ethiopia’s energy is clean, green and renewable all sourced locally from hydro, solar, wind, etc. Yesterday I visited a sleek new ultra fast charging station (video) capable of fully charging EVs within 15 minutes. It was installed by Ethiotelecom (the country’s largest telco), on the side of a newly rebuilt very modern ten-lane highway, in the capital city Addis Abeba. The entire charging process is efficient and hi-tech with payment via a mobile phone app. A large number of new EVs can now be seen on Addis’s streets. The vast majority are Chinese such as BYD. There are also European and Japanese brands such as VW and Toyota but made in China. Have seen several Teslas including a Cybertruk. An emerging market African economy showing the world the innovative future of EV transportation. Very impressive! As the saying goes: Necessity is the mother of invention and innovation. In the case of Ethiopia, the innovative EV strategy was necessitated partly due to the fact that the country is a net oil importer to the tune of up to $6.0 billion annually and, in some years until recently, exceeding the country’s entire annual merchandise export FX earnings.

The R&D and technology gap between India and China is widening rapidly. China is building futuristic EVs with advanced battery technology that can charges a car 0 to 100 in 10 minutes. China is no longer our competition, we are far left behind.

🇨🇳 At the Shanghai Auto Show, China’s EV industry is thriving — yet Western media still frames it as a “response” to Tesla, as if China is eternally chasing. In reality, Chinese automakers surpassed Tesla years ago — and never looked back. Today, it’s the West that must “respond” to China. The real story? China’s EV dominance isn’t about stealing designs. It’s about vision, sacrifice, and ruthless competition: • Chinese firms knew they couldn’t beat legacy Western brands in gas cars. • So they bet early and hard on green energy, building the future from scratch. • Meanwhile, the West clung to their fading empires of oil and nostalgia. China didn’t “steal” a market or a technology. China created the future the West was too afraid to build. #ChinaEV #ShanghaiAutoShow #NewEnergy

🇨🇳 Elon Musk gets it right About China: “The Chinese people simply view China’s ascendancy as resuming its normal place in history, the most powerful country on Earth.” The man builds things for a living, so he deals in engineering realities. He has also said that China has the deepest pool of innovative talent in human history, past and present, and that its space program is “far more advanced than most people realise.” Living here in China, I see exactly what he means and he was right. For most of recorded history China was the world’s leading civilisation: gunpowder, paper, the compass, printing, vast trade networks and advanced agriculture that fed populations Europe could not match. It sat at the centre of the global economy for centuries. Then came the brutal interruption. The Century of Humiliation: opium wars, unequal treaties, foreign powers carving up the country and a Japanese invasion that killed tens of millions. China was knocked back hard, exploited, fragmented and deliberately kept weak by powers that feared a strong unified nation. That was never going to be permanent. Under the CPC since 1949 and especially through reform and opening up, China has methodically rebuilt. Nearly 800 million people lifted out of poverty. The world’s most extensive high-speed rail network, the largest 5G infrastructure, the biggest manufacturing base on the planet and now a lead in EVs, batteries and high-tech supply chains, with AI and space pushing the frontier. This is not some sudden “rise” the way Western media frames it. It is restoration: civilisational continuity meeting modern execution at scale. The talent, discipline and long-term thinking are visible on the streets, where the infrastructure makes Western capitals look outdated and the momentum is structural, not temporary. Musk sees through the denial because he works with Chinese engineers and Chinese supply chains every day. The West loves to frame China as a new disruptor or a threat. Which is the wrong lens to view China through. This is history correcting course after a painful detour, and a confident China advancing its interests serves a multipolar world far better than containment ever will. How much longer until more people outside China accept what is already obvious on the ground here? It all started back then. The future is being built now, and not by the ones building tariff walls.

SpaceX was supposed to be America’s sacred crown jewel. The symbol of American innovation. The proof that only the U.S. could define the future of reusable rockets. The technological altar where Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Washington all worshipped together. And now China has successfully completed its first controlled recovery of an orbital-class rocket booster with the Long March 10B. Not by copying the American landing-pad model. Not by repeating SpaceX’s path. China used a sea-based net-capture system — a different technical route, a Chinese solution, built for its own launch architecture. That is why this matters. China is not just entering reusable rocketry. China is entering it with its own method. For years, the West comforted itself with one myth: China can manufacture, but America still owns the frontier. EVs broke that myth. Solar broke that myth. Shipbuilding broke that myth. AI began breaking that myth. Now reusable rockets are breaking it too. SpaceX may still ahead. But the crown is no longer untouchable. China did not need permission to reach orbit. China did not need applause to recover the booster. It just built, tested, failed, learned, and came back. Again.

🇨🇳🚄I did get a guide. It’s not actually 100% necessary because most signs are in English and in Chinese. So we were introduced to the much vaunted 🏎️automobiles of China! Our little minivan wasn’t a fancy BYD car, but it had a back massager and was very well appointed and comfortable. We saw Teslas, Range Rover’s, Mercedes, all the top EVS of China (oh yes, they are cool!!)😳😁 (Elon Musk — everybody ❤️😍 Tesla!) But we had a very interesting little discussion in China about something that nobody in the west thinks exists in China: competition! But at the same time, the issue is success for the broadest number of people. 🇺🇸 It’s funny, in the United States we have this term, “the General Welfare”. It means the same thing. We are getting to see it play out in real practice. Don’t worry, I have some criticisms, but I think the discussion here is very good. Pay attention! This is not some CP propagandist but just a guy who is happy to show us his country. What’s going on in your country?

Scott Bessent: We've unsanctioned Iranian oil, "but no one other than China, who was already buying it when it was sanctioned, has bought it," because the buyers worry about getting in trouble with the US. China is not afraid of US sanctions, and is the only country that can win a trade war with the US. Most importantly, China buys oil, US steals oil.

REPORT: The Biden administration invested $7.5 billion into EV charging & produced just *8* charging stations over 4 years. The Department of Transportation led by Pete Buttigieg is being mocked for the massive failure. For comparison, a Tesla Supercharger costs less than $50,000 per charger meaning the company could build a 10-stall Supercharger station for less than $500,000 (Electrek). The EV charging station plan was written in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and allocated $7.5B for EV charging, with $5B dedicated to building a charging network along US highways. During a previous interview on CBS News, Buttigieg tried defending the disaster, saying it would take a while to hit their goal of 500,000 chargers.

The funniest part of the Hormuz panic? Western pundits still think China is the country most hurt by an Iran oil shock. Reality in 2026: • China’s NEV penetration is 50%+, • EVs already make up 68% of the NEV fleet, • 44 million+ NEVs on the road, • Hybrid owners say the price spike costs them 30 RMB — “just a few cups of milk tea.” Meanwhile in the US and UK: • Gas prices hit the highest levels since 2024, • Governors and PMs warn of “household impact,” • Americans openly say rising fuel costs “hurt,” • Politicians blame Trump’s war for the bill. China spent a decade building energy resilience. The West spent a decade mocking China for doing it. Now Iran closes Hormuz, and the outcome is simple: China adapts. The West panics. So before lecturing China about “dependence on Middle Eastern oil,” maybe look at who’s lining up at gas stations, and who’s quietly charging their cars at home, drinking the milk tea that costs more than their fuel increase.

🇨🇳 China’s H-20 isn’t even officially unveiled, yet Western defense analysts are already treating it like a strategic earthquake. Not because of what’s shown, but because of what isn’t shown. A clean-sheet stealth bomber, intercontinental range, digital combat ecosystem, and an industrial base that can actually mass-produce it. The US keeps talking about “rules-based order.” China is quietly building the machines that will define the next strategic order. The real headline isn’t the H-20 itself. It’s this: China no longer thinks regionally, and the world no longer gets to think of China regionally.

A lot of people, who are finally admitting China's economy is more successful than any in the west, are coping by saying China is a capitalist country. Not so. China is a Socialist-Market-Economy. Sometimes this is called Socialism with Market Characteristics. At any rate the people (state) owns about half of the productive forces in the form of State Owned Enterprises. #China #Economy #Socialism

A lot of people, who are finally admitting China's economy is more successful than any in the west, are coping by saying China is a capitalist country. Not so. China is a Socialist-Market-Economy. Sometimes this is called Socialism with Market Characteristics. At any rate the people (state) owns about half of the productive forces in the form of State Owned Enterprises. #China #Economy #Socialism

A Visit to China Will Fundamentally Change Your Worldview, Argues British Scholar Visiting China is a transformative experience that will permanently alter how you see the world, according to British academic and author Martin Jacques. In a powerful statement, he argues that for those accustomed to a Western-centric viewpoint, experiencing China firsthand shatters the illusion that the West remains the center of the universe. Shifting the Global Center of Gravity "If you go to China, you'll never ever see the world in the same way again. Never," Jacques begins. He explains that the "Western mind always has the West at the center of it," a perspective that is immediately challenged upon arrival in China. "You go to China and you realize that actually, we're not the center of the world anymore," he states, suggesting the new center is "somewhere around here." In his view, China's modernity is now "well in advance... of anything in the West." This rapid development signals a fundamental shift in global dynamics, positioning the nation not just as a major player but as a new focal point for the world. Understanding a New Kind of Power Jacques asserts that China is "already a great power," but one that cannot be properly understood through a "Western prism." He cautions against expecting to comprehend its rise in purely Western terms. He goes further, arguing that China is "probably the global leader, more important than the United States." He believes this is not a fleeting trend but a continuous process that will reshape the international order. Instead of the long-standing "westernization of the world," he suggests we are now witnessing the "sinicization of the world." However, he clarifies that China's ascent will not be a simple replica of the Western model. "I think it'll be different in all sorts of ways," he concludes, "and that's what's going to be so interesting."
