Coming up, Chinese electric vehicles from companies like BYD are doing big business outside of China.

Could the U.S.

be their next market?

That's after the break.

Chinese car companies like BYD have gained a stronger foothold in the global auto market over the past few years, especially in the EV market.

With pressure to increase exports and a warm reception in the West, sales may only be revving up.

But could tariffs and political challenges throw them off course?

Wall Street Journal reporter Stephen Wilmot joins us to explain this shifting landscape.

Stephen, how did BYD become so popular globally, and where is it having the most success?

How did BYD cars become so popular in Europe, and was that a surprise?

There's obviously market interest in these EVs, but there's also pressure within China to establish even more of an automotive presence internationally.

What is behind China's need to export more this year than they did last year?

Have Tesla or any of the EV leaders responded to the competition or responded specifically to BYD's growth?

That was Wall Street Journal reporter Stephen Wilmot.

And that's it for Tech News Briefing.
