The fact that the headline says "Chinese Carmaker" and not "BYD" says a lot about their international market share.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 48 points 10 months ago (2 children)

To be honest, I think it more tells you the article was written by an American for an American audience.

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Poorly. Just add the name after Chinese Car maker.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yes, that would be great, it's a bit editorializing, but making it less click bait, should absolutely be acceptable.

[–] thejml@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m not sure if it’s that or clickbait to get you to find out who it is. That kinda crap has been rampant lately.

Could be both though honestly. Either way, I’m sick of it.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I agree with that, I guess it could have been added after the original headline, maybe putting it in parenthesis.

Also says a lot that despite that they still make more. Having more global sales in effectively one country is more impressive if anything.

[–] CertifiedBlackGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Eh, it's diminished when that one country holds nearly 17% of earth's entire population, or nearly as much as the next 6 countries by population combined.

When you have that much market, nearly anything you do will break population-based records.

[–] Thoth19@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

India and China have similar populations. It's a bit disingenuous to say China has as much pop as the next 6 countries.

[–] CertifiedBlackGuy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

India is #1, China is #2.

So yes, it is accurate to say that China has roughly as much population as #3-8

The headline also says overtakes, while it says "poised to be" in the text.

[–] erwan@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

It says a lot about that "journalist" knowledge of the topic

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

To be fair they are just now entering the US market

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Huge in Europe and Australia for sure
