According to foreign media reports earlier this year, the strong development of electric vehicles in China is not a new topic, but on foreign networks, foreign media will be very strict about the news "blockade". A search for news about electric vehicles in China reveals that more than 70% of them are negative topics – including malicious subsidies, low quality, short battery shelf life and other fabricated false news. Even Jim Farley, CEO of Ford Motor Company, said of the future of electric vehicles: "We see China as our main competitor, not GM or Toyota." The comment section was amazed and thought that this statement was impossible.

According to the news, on the 9th, the website of the American new energy vehicle industry media "InsideEVs" published a senior automotive media person Kevin Williams to experience electric vehicles at the China Auto Show. His arrival coincided with the United States' "attack" on Chinese car companies, and the Wall Street Journal revealed that the White House will raise tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to about 100% next week. Prior to this, as the closed news of foreign media, Kevin also believed that "most Americans have a confused understanding of Chinese electric vehicles", so it is necessary for him to try it for himself and show his fans what Chinese electric vehicles are like.

In a long article released after the test ride, Kevin said that after a dozen test rides of Chinese brand electric vehicles, the only conclusion he could draw was that "Western car companies are all finished." In his observations, there are no weaknesses in all aspects of China's electric vehicle technology, and its use of industry-leading technology, and its willingness to innovate to cater to consumer preferences, coupled with the fact that the price is significantly lower than that of American cars, to the point of impeccable. Kevin believes that many Western automakers have "lying flat" under the protection of tariffs, and American car companies have not made any efforts at all, and they have not investigated consumer demand, but the only option for many people due to tariffs is still domestic cars, and China cannot reach them at all.

Sources believe that China's electric vehicles are very competitive and came into being in the fierce "internal consumer demand", and the EU and the United States have lacked the soil for competition since the opening of tariffs. Kevin's survey report argues that China's automotive supply chain is "free of any gaps", for example, the reason why many car companies have been able to keep the price of electric cars low is partly because they have a battery supply chain, and all links are produced within the industry and never need to be imported. And the United States is not only biased in classifying these as "Chinese subsidies", they are trying to find an excuse for their backwardness, at least in the field of electric cars.

It is also worth mentioning that Musk said in an interview with the New York Times that China's electric vehicles are extremely competitive. China's manufacturing sector is strong, and the work ethic is incredible. In the comment section, it is not difficult to see that some fans are amazed by Kevin's experience, saying that Biden's policy is wrong, and there are many people who still respond with arrogance that Kevin is "just an advertising merchant hired by China" and that Chinese electric cars are useless. Many commentators also cited Raimondo's fallacy that "Chinese electric cars are harmful to American safety", saying that they would not test drive any Chinese cars, which is enough to see how strongly the West's propaganda is oriented.
