Business Daily · Follow the money: How China gained the competitive edge in EVs · 31 Aug 2026 podcast

That answer is the car brand BYD and it started life as a battery maker, so it has for decades built up expertise, as have other Chinese battery firms, in this technology that's now crucial to the world's mobility.

So yes, they have advantages that many Chinese manufacturers have cheap labour costs, cheaper energy, and cheaper land costs, their state subsidies and planning, but it's having these battery makers within the

their companies or close by in the supply chain, it's a real breakthrough for them in driving down prices.

There's no official figure felicity, partly because China doesn't acknowledge that it subsidizes its EV and battery development sectors.

However, one study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies has estimated that China's EV industry received at least $230 billion in government support between 2009 and 2023.

Business Daily · Follow the Money: What's driving up the cost of flying? · 17 Aug 2026 podcast

Yes, Hannah.

So booking a one-way fair between two of Europe's major hubs, London and Istanbul, we chose this route because there are five airlines that fly the route, from full service carriers like Turkish Airlines, which include meals, cabin bags, and entertainment on the four hour flight, to ultra low cost carriers like Wizir, where a basic ticket only gives you an underseat bag.

So looking to book a flight

A month from now, and the full service option quoting me about $200 for the one-way flight.

But is the low-cost option that much cheaper if I add all the extras?

Or does it only make sense if you want that no-frills flight experience?

So for the full service flight, it's quoting me about $200 to get me there on Turkish Airlines.

And so how does that compare to Wiz Air?

So Wiz Air starts quite strong.

The basic ticket costs about eighty seven dollars, so much, much cheaper from the start of it.
