An insightful podcast dated 12 August 2024 interviewing Michael Laske, a sage American veteran auto industry consultant in China. The podcast is part of the China Field Notes series hosted by leading US China expert Scott Kennedy, senior adviser and Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics at the Washington D.C.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
Both experts have decades of leading hands-on field work inside China. Their balanced take throws light on how, with an all-society ecosystem of joint ventures, technological manpower, government direction, and mastery of full-spectrum supply and value chains including a digitally-connected economy, China has emerged relatively rapidly from a student of internal-combustion-engine (ICE) cars to becoming the new Detroit for electric vehicles (EVs), automobiles of a hopefully-greener 21st century.
