Hi, your map says Chinese car makers have India “owned”. But not so. Chinese have a very small share of the market.

I’ve been watching China prepare to take the lead in biotech. It looks like it’s happening in every industry while we slowly surrender.

Hi Michael,

That's a great summary. Very punchy which is exactly what is needed.

Thinking about car development speed, Detroit spends a lot of engineering time planning for quality and developing solutions and following up. Improvements get incrementally more difficult. This is where China seems a bit far behind, approx 40% more problems per vehicle. Have you heard of this, and what's your view?
