It's been quite headspinning to watch in real time as Chinese cars get more and more frequent on the roads in my city

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, I heard that Chinese cars are becoming big in Russia.

wish we could get them in the US. $50000 is way more than I can spend on an EV

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

yeah exactly

[–] DeHuq2@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which ones do you see most frequently?

[–] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Haval, Haval Jolion. Exeed, which I think is a Chery. Yandex taxi got a lot of Evolutes i-Pros - it's officially a Russian e-car, but AFAIK it's just rebranded Dongfeng. Changans started to crop up

That included a surge of exports from China to Russia, which jumped 63.2% from a year ago to reach $71.8 billion. Imports into China rose at a more modest 13.3% to $83.3 billion.

so russian i'm assuming mostly energy exports still maintainsa positive trade balance with china and the article is trying its damndest to give me the reverse vibes. very funny.
