Mercedes-Benz's largest individual shareholder is BAIC, a Chinese state-owned automaker. Sources told CNBC that exemptions in the legislation would not apply.
So, capitalism is bad or what? Just tell Western companies to lock in and stop fucking around. You only convinced me to consider a Chinese EV even more, because you have no evidence they will enshittify other than your negative vibes about China. Western ones, in the other hand, are already enshittified. I highly doubt a Monopoly will ever happen, you make it sound like absolutely all car companies will disappear, as if they won’t be able to adapt, like capitalism dictates they will.
What western companies? You guys keep trying to claim every country that builds cars is a “western” country. Are Toyota and Kia western companies? Nissan? Honda? Hyundai?

“No evidence” other than literally every “market disruptor” and monopoly in existence.

Oh, well if your feelings lead you to believe that then it must be true. You’ve certainly provided no evidence or reasoning why they wouldn’t completely take over when they’re undercutting everyone else on the planet with their bottemless pockets.

China controls the world’s rare earth resources. They control the lithium. They directly fund these companies and the development of these vehicles. They use slave labor. They have lax environmental protections. How do you expect any other company to compete against that? You can’t just waive your hand around and claim it’s a matter of will for other companies to compete against one of the most powerful governments on the planet.
Your feelings think they will do evil in the future just because, my feelings say they won’t, because China understands the importance of pleasing other countries, they are not like America who constantly seeks to profit off death like in Gaza. China is shady, but not as much as you are painting them to be. I’d say the same if it was America, at some point, countries will complain about that monopoly and shit will have to be done about it.
All companies control their own rare patents and resources, all of them use slave labor as well, and meddle with the law through the congressmen they funded with their mega donations. The oil lobby and car lobby constantly share the same whores and drugs in the yatch. The fact they couldn’t keep up with China in innovation says more about them than China. If they are not winning the people, then they deserve to lose and disappear forever, because they fucking suck, according to the people themselves who voted with their wallet, their money, period. Skill issue, get good or get eaten.
By the way, I thought the most powerful government on the planet was the USA, I am glad that finally changed. I rather China be under the spotlight, not a country ran by a pedophile.
This is what capitalism is. Deal with it, or start supporting socialism and communism so the people can own the means of production, so laws listen to the people’s interests and not some few billionaires’. Otherwise, we will keep getting monopolies.

So does every single Western car company, bucko. If you want everything to be fine and dandy you’d have to move past capitalism.
Also, “Western” usually means “country that is part of NATO”.
