It\u2019s funny \u2013 or sad, depending on your point of view.<\/p>\n

America car companies are downsizing and U-hauling operations to China as fast as they can . . . at the same time that Chinese car companies are preparing to launch a kind of vehicular Operation Overload directed at the mainland United States.<\/p>\n

Two Chinese car companies \u2013 Zotye and GAC, which sells cars under the Trumpchi label (no reference to the Orange Man, it translates as \u201cpassing into happiness\u201d) have announced they will begin selling cars here just a few months from now.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>There will be \u201clandings\u201d in a dozen states, including Virginia, Florida, California, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma and Maryland.<\/p>\n

GAC has met with 80 potential distributors, according to the trade publication,\u00a0Automotive News<\/em>. Zotye has reportedly signed non-disclosure agreements with at least 120 prospective U.S. dealers.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s probably just for openers.<\/p>\n

The Chinese car industry is a state-sponsored industrial juggernaut that\u00a0already<\/em>\u00a0outproduces the\u00a0American car industry in terms of total volume \u2013 in excess of\u00a023 million vehicles manufactured annually vs. about 17.2 million in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Just\u00a0smaller<\/em>\u00a0numbers, over a much longer period of time . . .\u00a0 vs. the Chinese.<\/p>\n

From 1909 to 1927 \u2013 a production run of almost 20 years \u2013 Ford built just under 15 million cars.<\/p>\n

The Chinese built almost twice as many cars\u00a0 . . .\u00a0last year<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That stat is giving nightmares, surely, to every round-eyed…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
