Is it that much different from the kind of subsidies that electric car makers are getting in the rest of the world?
Yu YangGUEST
17:32
I mean, different government use different kind of vessels, but it's, it's very similar.
Yu YangGUEST
17:36
I mean, maybe in China it's more generous at the beginning and, uh, uh, more consistent.
Yu YangGUEST
17:42
But I mean, if you see, uh, some of, some of the other kind of, uh, part of the world like Norway, they're pushing a different way.
Yu YangGUEST
17:48
So y-you, you have to just turn to, to, to EV if...
Yu YangGUEST
17:51
Otherwise, you will be also paying a lot.
Yu YangGUEST
17:53
And also they are actually banning the ICE from, uh, the cars, new cars running on road.

So Dr. Yang, how did you see that moment? Did you see it as the sort of Chinese EV makers almost playing court, [laughs] paying their respects to Elon Musk?

And was that what you found between you and your peers?
Yu YangGUEST
38:04
Yeah, I think, yeah.
Yu YangGUEST
38:05
I think it's part of like the seeing how, you know, unstable the job market is also, then we kind of think like, "Okay, what can we do now to kind of like build a bigger net for ourself, like a safety net in a way?" So building our own path, or that's I think something that pushes us, motive- motivates us to do it.
Yu YangGUEST
38:23
But then there's also another side of it, which is like, "Oh my god, I see my peers, they are starting to do like this business.
Yu YangGUEST
38:28
He just made like 600...
Yu YangGUEST
38:29
Like, I mean, no, uh, he just made like six figures like the past year," which was like crazy.
Yu YangGUEST
38:34
And as I see like other friends is like making hundreds of vi- uh, hundreds of do- hundreds of dollars, like per video they post out becoming like influencers and whatnot.

No, honestly, honestly, did that change?
