The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
China Decode: China Walks a Dangerous Line as Iran War Escalates

In 2025, it sold 2.26 million vehicles against Tesla's 1.64 million.

So yeah, BYD is really streaking out ahead now when it comes to EVs globally.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
China Decode: China Walks a Dangerous Line as Iran War Escalates

That would be amazing.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

If that transpires, that really will be another game changer.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

I guess it means that more of these Chinese EV companies will be able to make a profit because there'll be less players in the market.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
China Decode: China Walks a Dangerous Line as Iran War Escalates

Yeah, absolutely.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

I was just going to mention the same thing, actually.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

Only today was I going up the escalator in central Hong Kong island.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

But this is, well, what can I say?

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
China Decode: China Walks a Dangerous Line as Iran War Escalates

This is one long escalator or series of escalators, really, isn't it?

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

But I think it also plays to a much bigger topic in China, and that is the big trend for gigantism, for huge things, for statement projects.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

And I've been doing a little bit of looking around at some of the biggest, fastest, tallest, longest, quickest, you know, the superlatives.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

And there really are a lot in China.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
China Decode: China Walks a Dangerous Line as Iran War Escalates

A lot of them revolve around the built infrastructure.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

So there is the longest sea bridge in China.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

And again, that comes to Hong Kong here, and then it goes to Zhuhai, and then from there it goes to Macau.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
China Decode: China Walks a Dangerous Line as Iran War Escalates

That's 55 kilometers or 34 miles long.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
China Decode: China Walks a Dangerous Line as Iran War Escalates

That is a long bridge.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

There's also the highest bridge in China, the Huajiang Canyon Bridge.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
China Decode: China Walks a Dangerous Line as Iran War Escalates

That is 625 meters above the ground.
