Foreign investment would be an economic boost for Mexico. The company has claimed that a plant there would create about 10,000 jobs. A Tesla competitor, BYD markets its Dolphin Mini model in Mexico for about 398,800 pesos—about $21,300 dollars—a little more than half the price of the cheapest Tesla model.

    like China

    Not been to China recently eh? Or ever.

    They have free education and health care, affordable housing and government pensions. Things that taxes should be spent on instead of wars, destabilising governments you don’t like, and funding genocidal maniacs.

      Instead they’re supporting Russia and Putin in the war, harass the Philippines at sea, infiltrate the government in Hong Kong and prepare to capture Taiwan.

      And they spy on every citizen they have and jail them for innocuous things or jail them for being a certain race then hide it from the world and use them as slave labor. Yeah, they’re just a utopia.

      Didn’t they have some of the biggest house prices to income ratios? And wasn’t private tutoring out of control in there? And weren’t they fighting with almost every single neighbor they have?
