American Defense Against Chinese Electric Vehicle Expansion 2. How the Dragon Was Fed
Chinese companies have become leaders in the world’s automotive industry, and an even more undisputed leader in electric vehicle production.

Absolutely not!

Introjection – How We Adopt Beliefs and Habits from Others
"This is not a woman's business," "a man should...", "money spoils people," "this is the only right way," "I'll never succeed at anything"... Often, we are guided in life by attitudes and behavior patterns that we have adopted from other people without even realizing it. The unconscious psychological mechanism of absorbing others' values, beliefs, opinions, assessments, and reactions is called introjection. This mechanism is natural and largely useful, but sometimes, through it, we incorporate negative beliefs and habits into our inner world that can significantly harm us in life. Why does this happen, and how can we track these harmful borrowings and deal with them?
