Ford Motor CEO visits China, sees existential threats, opportunities, and overhauls in Ford Motor co
Ford Motor CEO visits China, sees existential threats, opportunities, and overhauls in Ford Motor co Kwabena Ofori Osei 47 Views • 2 years ago

Of all the legacy carmakers, Ford Motor Company is best positioned to survive the onslaught of Chinese auto brands. Ford dominates in pickup trucks and commercial vans, industry segments in which Chinese automakers are not yet competitive abroad. They are also the most profitable markets on a per unit basis. The high tariffs and import bans that are designed to keep Chinese models out of North America are of little help to Ford, but serve ironically as a lifeline to Japanese and European companies who exist only as long as the tariffs do.

But Jim Farley, the CEO of Ford Motor, nevertheless is making huge changes at Ford based on his recent experiences in China. In a new strategy, Ford will abandon entirely its ambitions to compete in China in the passenger vehicle markets, and everywhere else in electric vehicles made by Ford's domestic factories. Instead, they will aggressively build new electric vehicle models in light and heavy trucks, designed by their engineers in the US, but produced and distributed by their Chinese joint venture partners.

Chinese Car Buyers Are Moving Away From  German Brands For Local Chinese Brands
Chinese Car Buyers Are Moving Away From German Brands For Local Chinese Brands Kwabena Ofori Osei 30 Views • 2 years ago

In recent years, the Chinese automotive market has undergone a significant transformation. Once dominated by German brands like Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, the landscape is now shifting as Chinese consumers increasingly favor domestic brands. The story of why Chinese car buyers are increasingly choosing to move away from German car brands is one that reflects changing trends, technological advances, cultural shifts, and the ever-evolving automotive landscape in China.

For years, brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi held a unique position in the Chinese market. They were symbols of prestige, success, and quality, viewed as the ultimate choices for those who wanted a car with both style and a legacy of engineering excellence. The German reputation for quality, particularly in the luxury segment, drew countless Chinese buyers who wanted the best. Owning a German car was seen as a statement and a way to demonstrate economic success. However, a noticeable shift has been taking place in recent years. Chinese buyers, who once strongly preferred these established German brands, are now increasingly looking towards domestic alternatives and new players in the automotive world, including electric vehicle (EV) companies that align more closely with the country’s direction.

China's automotive industry has seen rapid growth and development over the past decade. One of the most significant reasons behind this shift is the rise of competitive Chinese automakers. Brands like BYD, Nio, Xpeng, and Geely have emerged as strong contenders, especially in the EV segment. As these brands continue to improve their products, they’re gaining the respect and interest of local buyers who are impressed with both the performance and technology offered by these vehicles.

Chinese automakers have taken bold steps in innovation, investing heavily in electric technology, smart car features, and even autonomous driving capabilities, all of which align well with the desires of the modern Chinese consumer. This is especially true in an era where young buyers, who are often more tech-savvy and environmentally conscious, make up a significant part of the market. These younger consumers are often more interested in the latest technology and eco-friendly options rather than traditional luxury status, making local EV brands even more appealing.Another key factors driving the success of Chinese brands is their focus on electric vehicles. China has been a global leader in the adoption of EVs, supported by government policies and incentives aimed at reducing pollution and promoting sustainable transportation. As a result, Chinese automakers have been able to capture a significant share of the EV market, outpacing their German counterparts.

African Revolution Has Been Lost.
African Revolution Has Been Lost. Baka Omubo 43 Views • 4 years ago

For many centuries now Africans have been subjected to exploitation, colonisation, enslavement by the capitalist maritime nations of western Europe and other marauders, like Christians, Jews AND Muslims. If You are black person and you follow Christianity, Hebrew Israelism, or Islam you have joined the invaders who destroyed Africa's ancient civilisations. They seized and laid waste her natural wealth. By the end of the 19th Century almost the whole of Africa had been conquered - by trickery or the force of superior arms - and brought beneath the alien yoke of a handful of European powers - Britain, France, Portugal, Belgium, Germany and Spain. At the end of the second world war, only Ethiopia and Liberia could claim to be African states governed by Africans. By 2000 the whole picture had been transformed. Bitter bloody wars had been fought in Angola, Mozambique, Kenya, and Zimbabwe, the Republic of South Africa, and South-West Africa- Namibia. However White minorities continued to dominate Africa on behalf of the colonial master. Proof that our leaders are puppets is when African Presidents, & First Ladies, President aboard a common bus heading to Buckingham Palace to attend state reception in honour of Queen Elizabeth II despite her family looting their lands…This is the time we clearly must understand how a Plan to dominate Africans have been, in place all along and continues to this day. It is called The Imperial Charter. It was drawn up in Washington during the “slave trade”, then quietly negotiated at the “Berlin conference in 1884” while the Western powers shared Africa; renegotiated secretly in Yalta at the time of division of the world in two blocks after the Second World War and during the creation of the “League of Nations”, the ancestor of the “UN”. The Charter Has 28 Articles. The African nationalist Movement, Patriotic Spirit, Sovereignty, in defence of National Borders in the African continent,digital revolution,African politics, Democratic Elections…etc.. Including political parties like ZanuPf, KANU, Frelimo, MPLA, ANC- SWAPO.. Were all infiltrated and sold us out! For example Kenyatta was not a genuine revolutionary this sad to say have FAILED MDH .Join the movement fighting The god Set at all levels Mentally, physically, spiritually and Materially. In this case DO NOT SELL your SOUL to any Revolution that denies your Venerated ancestors and Divinities. To Explore Many Informative Spiritual Life Science Topics, Enrol into Our
