BEIJING, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Finding Answers in China from China.org.cn:
In 2024, global sales of electric cars exceeded 17 million for the first time, marking a 26% year-on-year growth. Chinese new energy vehicles (NEVs) have emerged as a major driving force for global growth, accounting for over 70% of shares in the international market. In recent years, Chinese automakers like SGMW are accelerating in cultivating new quality productive forces. They have established "China model" for high-quality development of the NEV industry.
What is the research and production process behind Chinese-made NEVs? What innovative manufacturing secrets lie inside the auto factories? Why could China achieve a leap-forward development in the NEV sector, topping the global list in NEV output and sales?
In a conversation with front-line workers and technical experts at SGMW's factory, CICG's Thai host Zhang Ailing finds out the answer.

Vice President JD Vance is 'optimistic' about AI automating American jobs

At the Winning the AI Race Summit, a conference hosted by venture capitalists in Washington, DC, Vice President JD Vance said he was "optimistic" about artificial intelligence automating American jobs. Vance was responding to a question asked by podcaster and tech investor Jason Calacanis about how Trump 2.0 is thinking about job displacement because of AI. "For every self-driving car we put on the road, that's four drivers who are going to have their jobs retired," Calacanis, an early Uber investor, added. "For every Optimus robot or humanoid robot that eventually makes it into a factory, that'll be five or six factory jobs." Vance seemed more bullish than alarmed, arguing that AI's impact has yet to be priced into the job market: "If the robots were coming to take all of our jobs, you would see labor productivity skyrocketing in this country," he said. "But actually, you see labor productivity flatlining. What that means, actually, is that our country is under-indexed in technology and not over-indexed in technology." Panelists, including Vance, discussed how the US can dominate the AI race at Wednesday's who's who of venture capitalists, startup founders, and politicians. The topic has become an increasingly acute concern in Silicon Valley and on Capitol Hill as geopolitical tensions rise, following the release of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek's powerful R1 model in January, which caught many investors and AI entrepreneurs by surprise. Several other speakers at the event pitched AI as a tool for job creation. Chris Power, founder and CEO of factory automation startup Hadrian, claimed that the company's new production facility in Arizona — expected to open in late 2025 — could create over 350 new factory jobs. While Vance expressed optimism about AI job automation, he criticized tech companies for their reliance on international labor. "On the one hand, you see some Silicon Valley technology firms, especially the big firms, say that they are desperate for workers that they can't find — that they have to use overseas visa programs to find workers," he said. "And yet, at the same time, the college-educated employment rate for STEM graduates in this country seems to be declining. "If you're not hiring American workers from out of college for these jobs, then how can you say that you have a massive shortage?" Vance added.

Chinese and European Leaders Meet Amid Grievances on Trade

The European Union has sent the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and other top officials to Beijing for a high-profile, high-stakes summit on Thursday with their Chinese counterparts, complete with nods to the 50-year anniversary of their diplomatic ties. Both sides came with long lists of grievances over trade. The Europeans want an end to the flood of Chinese exports that they insist is unfairly bolstered by government financial support. The Chinese angrily deny the allegations and want the European Union to lift tariffs and embrace trade with China. Neither European Union leaders nor Chinese officials said they expected the summit to resolve their many differences, which also include an intense disagreement over China's support for Russia and its war in Ukraine. Beijing wants the European Union to rescind its tariffs on electric cars from China and take other measures to allow more Chinese exports into the continent. But European leaders have made clear that they want to address many serious concerns about China's recent policies. They are upset that China's state-owned banks are lending at low interest rates to the country's manufacturers. The resulting overflow of inexpensive goods has pushed up China's trade surplus with the European Union to more than $350 billion. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Mining Giant Calls for Government Support Amid Flood of Cheap Chinese Copper

One of the world's largest natural resources companies is calling for a government lifeline as Chinese domination of the market forces the possible closure of two Queensland facilities. The Swiss-owned Glencore's Mount Isa copper smelter and Townsville refinery employ around 600 workers but are losing money due to an increase in volume from international smelters and refineries, particularly in China, leading to a global oversupply of smelter capacity.
