    When did he say this? I can’t really find a source. Otherwise it’s about as believable as this: Martti, what do we think about China?

    • “Well, they’ve been on the forefront of EVs for the better part of this new millenium, and have lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. Sure, they have some human rights abuses, but when I compare this for example to the dozens of violent military incursions that the US has carried out in foreign nations, resulting in the deaths of millions, I cannot but conclude that on the whole, the influence of modern day China has been a net positive, and that focussing on them for their human rights abuses rather than the much more voluminous and needlessly cruel actions of modern day USA, is missing the mark quite badly”

    That’s a direct quote btw.
