The impact is dramatic.

Look what's happening in Germany.

Most of their people that live there work in the auto industry.

And when you have a problem with no jobs, that's going to lead to some other issues.

So we're starting to see the infiltration, shall we say, of Chinese influence.

Some of it will go through.

Some of it can be blocked through legislation.

That is an excellent question.

I don't know if Chinese electric cars are going to do well here, no matter what the price is.

I mean, Slate's coming on board here with $20,000 cars.

There are cars that will be starting to come in from other automakers around that time.

that lower price entry point around $20,000.

I know Honda's working on it, Toyota's working on it, Hyundai and so forth.

But I think what's really important to note that these vehicles will make their way here.

They're already here in Volvo.

Volvo's made in South Carolina, and they're there.

And some of the components that BMW uses, the largest SUV

factory in the world for BMW is in South Carolina, and they actually employ more people than anyone else in the state.

So you're starting to see an influence already.

I think that has to be done under controlled situations.
