Some things are hard to communicate, like the gratitude you feel for somebody who has treated you like a true friend. I personally find it hard to communicate that things are best communicated by talking simpler, not smarter. Just say, “You’re a good friend, and my life is better because you are in it.”
Is it more awkward? Sure. But is the important thing said? Absolutely!

The EV market is shifting as Chinese companies, led by BYD, challenge Western automakers in the global market. As the world's top EV maker, BYD's affordable and innovative models are reshaping industry dynamics, aided by robust government support and advanced technology.
Meanwhile, Western companies, including Mercedes-Benz, caution against restrictive trade policies with China, emphasizing the importance of this vast market.
The debate over trade policies, including potential tariffs by the EU and the U.S., underscores the complex interplay between national security, market competition, and technological leadership in the EV sector. As competition intensifies, Chinese and Western automakers navigate a landscape marked by regulatory challenges and shifting consumer preferences.
It seems that the shadow of the US attempt to prioritize American automakers is that Chinese automakers could still make a dramatic impact in the US market by dominating their local market and its resources. Benefits US automakers do not have as much of with current manufacturing, sourcing, and importing rules in place.
