Nope, not at all. The Chinese gov't has had to invest billions in BYD on numerous occasions to cover their operation costs.

Remind me again how many times the US govt has bailed out US automakers so they didn't go bankrupt?

Quick public service announcement. If you own any laser pointers, especially ones purchased from less regulated suppliers that might have a higher output level than specified, please be careful that you don't shine these around or into the camera lens.

Utter berks that are looking to find themselves with guest accommodations in the US federal prison system. This is one of those places where no one finds it funny and serious people with serious firearms are often found waiting at the exit of the aircraft at the next destination.

There's no real useful information to be had in the article. The fact that Apple provided the associated account information means nothing.
