Interesting video. Takes a few minutes. I had no idea China is producing almost 3 times the amount of 2nd place.

China enticed an American entrepreneur with the opportunity of helping build a cutting-edge automobile company in the world’s largest car market, then used the uncertainty cast by COVID-19 to steal his intellectual property, the businessman says.

Steve Saleen, founder of specialty high-performance sports car manufacturer Saleen Automotive, and his partner Charles Wang, a Chinese immigrant and former attorney at a New York law firm, were approached in late 2015 about forming a joint venture with the city of Rugao to manufacture automobiles.

If it Has not happened already the same thing will happen to MTH....

Think about the population of China. China is the elephant in the room. If I were young and going to school, I would study Chinese. A very prescient high school teacher once said (way back when) regarding the subject of disarmament talks with China: "We could disarm down to clubs, and still be in trouble considering the size of their population." Wise man.
