@Bruce In reply to Bruce. China's oil imports in 2024 from USA dropped 40% from 2023, I suspect most of that drop in China's oil consumption is reflected in the drop from US oil imports. the oil consumption will probably go down even more in 2025, and I doubt China will reduce imports from Russia and Middle East just to please Dump. China is quietly decoupling from ''The West'' since BRI started.

@CARS CARS CARS In reply to CARS CARS CARS. Thats because the investment community knows that deliveries dont mean a thing if losses are increasing in a price war where margins are likely to compress even further. Especially since they are long from scaling up to profitability in the new subbrand models and are constrained without the F3 factory. All of the spastic share price action hype is gone from the EV sector and any upward share price action for any company will be fueled by NET PROFITS.
