So what? I am stating facts. Feel free to rebutt me that CATL and BYD don't supply well known automobile like BMW or Mercs parts. I am Chinese and I know better than u who blindly pick up anti China article.Did you even read the article, which quotes two Chinese automotive industry experts?
'Although Asia’s biggest economy is home to the world’s biggest automobile market, it doesn’t have a competitive supply chain and not one local auto-parts maker is ranked among the top 500 companies globally, Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the China Passenger Car Association, told an electric-vehicle battery forum in Ningxiang this week'
And: ' “Owning core technology is the key for Chinese companies,” said Yuan Chengyin, general manager of the National New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Center in Beijing. “Chinese companies will only be able to break bottlenecks if they come up with better offerings.”
The article is actually constructive and truthful for the Chinese automotive supply chain industry, finishing on a specific and positive point about how improvements can be made. Instead your filters interpret the article as 'white man bad, unfairly criticize China'.

Chinese expert always overstate a small problem to spur Chinese industries into a state of competitive alert. The worst thing to happen to slip into a state of complacency like American who loves to self bragging after achieve a small milestone.
