Same thing's been going on here.
We are falling behind, and COVID was the hinge, and hardly anybody has been to China since COVID.
I know, because when I used to go to China, I was surrounded by what?
Americans.
I go last June, there's no Americans.
I mean, there are a few, but you can hardly find them.
When was the last time a politician went to China?
Gavin Newsom went about 18 months ago for three days, okay?
He went to BYD for three days and there's still a video of it.
That's it.
And I came back.
I tried to get a lot of politicians.
I even, I'm sorry to say, I tried to get journalists interested.
Nobody could find the time because it wasn't on the radar.
Well, Trump's trip here, this is what the journalists are all talking about.
The seas of EVs, the green license plates, brand spanking new, beautiful Porsches EVs.
This is not like Tercel's.
Okay.
This is the leading edge.
And they have even more that I got to see.
