Jim Farley had just returned from China. What the Ford Moto chief executive found during the May visit made him anxious: The local automakers were pulling away in the electric-vehicle race. 

In an early-morning call with fellow board member John Thornton, an exasperated Farley unloaded. 

The Chinese carmakers are moving at light speed, he told Thornton, a former Goldman Sachs executive who spent years as a senior banker in China. They are using artificial intelligence and other tech in cars that is unlike anything available in the U.S. These Chinese EV makers are using a low-cost supply base to undercut the competition on price, offering slick digital features and aggressively expanding to overseas markets.

“John, this is an existential threat,” Farley said.

比亚迪的研发人员，R&D部门的员工，就有11万人，你能想象吗？ 换谁谁不焦虑？马斯克都焦虑，都觉得自己的特斯拉根本竞争不过，别说福特这些了。

美国人特别这些领导啊资本家都应该去中国学习一下，要不然还天天在这搞些乱七八糟的leadership diversity lgbt ，赶紧的改改高考，重视数理化吧

劳动力啊，你想工会大爷和中西部舒服惯了的白领比卷，咋行，估计卷不过就一定不能开放北美市场

现在根本不是劳动力的事了，你没看过雷军的黑灯工厂吗？无灯、无人，机器人24/7生产， 不光汽车，宝钢等等大厂子很多都已经高度自动化机器人化操作了。
