No, thank you for being a beacon of information and clairvoyance around the issues China is facing and revealing the truth about what is going on there.
CHINA is guilt for global covid sabotage
Saw a Tesla just the other day broke down and the batteries smoking, not sure if it finally caught fire.
Now do a report on the EV fires that happen by made in USA, Japan etc.... not just a Chyna issue. So far 2 cargo ships sunk because of EV fire on board new toyota's and catching all the EV's on board on fire; since lithium burns till everything is dust it burned a hole right through the ships.
Ever since I was a kid 'made in China" was a warning about low quality and short lifespan of the product.
way back in the 80s i remember toy cars "made in hong kong" had good quality. days long gone
That's why American HP computers are utter garbage, all produced in China. And Apple phones... and Nike, and Levi's... and Ray-Ban sunglasses... and DELL, Gillette, Channel, Michael Kors... the list is very, very long.

Winston, your video you released today about the bus accident and cover up in China has been taken down.
So I am commenting here:
The worst thing of all, most Chinese families only have one child. That death represents the end of their family line. All the thousands of ancestors who struggled, fought and built a future, all the way back to the dawn of time, and their family line ends right there.
Most Chinese can't afford to have a 2nd child. Most are too old to have a 2nd child. And if they lose their one and only child, they spend the rest of their life never getting over that grief.
Also, what happened during the pandemic taught the world that China cares more about face than it does the lives of millions and millions of people.
Globally over 7 million non Chinese died due to China's poor safety standards. And in China, millions more likely died, but we'll never know, because China covered it all up.
Where are you? It's still up where I am.

There is absolutely ZERO chance that car with the trapped passengers hit that 'watering truck' at a speed differential any more than 25 or 30 mph. (Based on the relatively little vehicle damage from the collision) That means the watering truck was doing that at 40 mph, or the claims of a speed of 71 mph were tremendously exaggerated.

clearly the chinese are saying: "who cares, there's 1.4 billion of us"
I have always said it is better to buy a 10 years old japanese car than a new Chinese car. Crazy.
Or a 30 year old volvo, before they sold themselves to the chinese
Was watching this, and one of the ads that came up was for a Chinese EV, irony.
I feel pity for the man, who tried to use fire extinguisher on those lithium batteries.
Horrific way to die- driver, and father and child in back seat- rescuers could probably see/touch them, but not get them out through window. Sad ,, criminal negligence! on the manufacturer/s
My Chinese wife is like a EV. She always explodes!
My ex-wife was like an EV, heavier than she looked, dangerous when charged up and cost me far more than she was worth.
That's hot.
Fire her!
Well if shes like the car flying 5-10meters straight up in the air, she could play for wnba :)
Too many short-cuts.
Its not just Chinese made EVs. All cares made in China are dangerous. I recently refused to get into an Uber as the car was made in China.
The first successful deployment of an air bag in an American production vehicle was in 1971.
Thankful for them. Saved my life once when someone hit us head on in my bros brand new 99 ford ranger. Still life changing but much better than without airbags.
But people keep buying them? I see more and more here is Australia. So dumb.
I dont know about AUS but here in Denmark, the shitty quality of these EV's are not mainstream news. People don't watch this stuff on their own and are led to believe that "CHINESE EVS ARE TAKING OVER THE MARKET OMG!!"
@@citizenofterra Only have themselves to blame if they dont research where it is made and the quality.
@@BuiltByRik I don't disagree
As your northern neighbor, this also popular on my city. Mostly because the early program was supported by the government subsidiary to boost purchase of the locally assembled EVs
Because people want cheap EVs to virtue signal how green they are. The green cult is everywhere in Europe and causes real brain damage with decision making.
Why did your most recent video about the bus accident get deleted? Errored me out while watching it
How about the VinFast deployed in the US ?
A family of four died from the steering wheel defect and the car slammed into a tree and burst in flame . They cannot escape because the door is locked . Four died . The accident happened in Pleasanton , a small town in northern California . VinFast claims the car is perfect , it's human error that cause the accident .
the difference is that it wasn't censored by the government and the incident is actually being investigated. on the other hand here its being swept under a rug and being flat out denied.
@@RandomDeforgedon't make excuses . So u agree that USA produces Yankee dreg cars

THAT'S called almost ZERO WELD PENETRATION.
Personally, I think it's also called using an old rusted-out piece of scrap metal, welding 40% of it, and painting it so it looks new.
I worked for a prominent company that was bought by the Chinese. They installed a bean counter as CEO. The company uses cranes....very BIG cranes, and the chief engineer, who I went to school with, and knows more about cranes than almost everyone, had to send a team of British engineers to China, as we were 'obliged' to buy their cranes. The engineers had to literally stand over the Chinese workforce to ensure welding was done correctly in all respects. The frames were made from Chinese steel, but all the electrics were from Siemens, and all the ropes came from Japan. The Chinese even bought out their British competitors so they could close them down. Their 'quality' is crap. They pay more attention to the packaging than the product.
Something important to keep in mind about Electric vehicle fires is that putting them out is a friggin nightmare putting them out it takes from 8,000 to over 40,000 gallons of water to do so keep in mind fire trucks hold between 500 and 5,000 gallons of water.
Not the Chinese ones...
Okay and? They happen less often and can be combatted with methods made for evs
I feel bad for the people stuck buying these things
You acting like USA govt is not going to make US buy these death traps as well American govt is just like the CCP just at a slower pace.

This all has to be from low quality materials. I work on cars for a living, and I've NEVER seen what looks like a trailing arm just snap cleanly like that.
Military grade tofu steel.
The first question should be "why was the water truck in the left lane (passing Lane) to begin with? The Chinese government should be investigating the cause of the accident first. It's like somebody shooting you while wearing body armor that failed,,, and then questioning why the body armor failed? .
God damn that footage is heartbreaking. I could see myself dying in that car trying to pull my people out…
Looks like there's a "fire sale" on EV's in China. 🤔👍❤️💪 Great video. Staying Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
i drive a MG4 ... i'm quite happy with the car, we still didnt have any problems. The drive assists are not so perfect and i need to turn off lane control, because sometimes really hard to take control of steering wheel in weird situations. Additionally i'm part of some MG4 driver groups, ... many report that their car is just standing around after an car accident, means they are not able to get the spare parts to fix it .. wait for long time now ...
I live in Malaysia and did not find any news of these accidents.
That's bcz is fake
Can’t believe people don’t realise yet about Chinese made.
It's also a good idea not to buy a car that has a Chinese sourced battery pack on board, because those thing will kill you.
Most batteries are made in China - though this is changing.
The difference is quality. US car has to pass more stringent QA so they buy better Chinese batteries than Chinese car manufacturer who only buys lowest cost ones which failed QA for US cars....
Imagine burning to death after hitting a truck full of water that is sitting right on top of the car you are in.
They say that many rules are written in blood.
Hopefully they start learning the meaning of that.
That is true about safety rules in particular right through industry and transportation. They are written in the blood of the injured & the dead. I can only conclude that they simply don't care as long as it looks good. How big does the pile of corpses have to get before cars get fully tested or else they don't leave the factory?
Great work Winston keep it up, this is a huge safety issue.

The president in my country of Indonesia is actively campaigning for electric cars. Even one of his trusted right-hand, Luhut Panjaitan harshly enforced the electric car policy.
But gradually people sees that it meant to profiting the Chinese government.

and are not happy with them from engine failures to rust bubbling through the paint and then the resale value is appalling. Your better of buying a second hand
and using OEM parts.
Don't buy an EV. Best advice.
Quality controls are a time-eating, expensive part of production. They obviously are willing to override these for much cheaper products.
Awesome video Winston! You know GE and other brands have sold their trademarks to Chinese manufacturers for appliances like refrigerators, and now there is are class action suits about them failing very quickly and being unrepairable
I will not be buying an electric car, especially a chinese one anytime soon, if ever.

@@TriflingToad In my opinion, batteries still have a lot to evolve, in terms of safety, longevity and price, for me to ever consider buying an electric car.
@@TriflingToad For me it's because they all look geeky. Screens from the driver mirrors to the passenger side, and needing to press 4 things on a screen to turn down the A/C.

That lady Meng Wenzhou had a big trial in my city, Vancouver, facing extradiction to USA.
An average of 16 electric and hybrid vehicle catch fire each year, the risk of fire is 1 in 38,000. While with gasoline/diesel vehicles, there are an average of 3,384 fires per year out of a total of 4.4 million vehicles, a fire rate of 1 in 1,300.
In my opinion was the speed in km/h, not in miles.
like the old saying from china that you mentioned a while back. "If you can cheat, cheat."
What are the NUMBERS??
Which brand ?
How many cars sold vs burned ?
Out of millions of EV's some do fail & catch fire
and all you show are those. But stats prove ICE
or Hybrids burn FAR MORE.
Fires per 100,000 miles
Hybrids 3,200
ICE 1250
BEV just 21
This channels sounding more & more like a

Never lock any car with central locking from inside and drive, it is impossible for anyone outside to open the doors!
If the drivers door gets damaged it may be impossible to unlock the car.
You have been warned.
Almost no driver of a petrol car ever drives with locked doors for a reason.
This man has a clear agenda, so I wonder if these videos showing intense fires in the front of the vehicles may not in fact be evs.
For bloggers, the dark side of China is just a profitable business. Please do not be deceived. There are many online travel videos about China, please refer to them

RUclips gesticulation has got out of hand and is fucking irritating. Great to watch a youtuber just sit there calmly with the odd, natural gesture. Good stuff, Winston.
In fairness, EVs made in the US and around the world were also catching on fire until they added high-grade carbon black and graphite into lithium-ion battery anodes which helps to dissipate heat. This isn’t a Chinese exclusive problem, but the technology exists and they need to catch up.
1,53 million subs! i've been following you when you were a small youtube and talked cultural differences about china! thank you for this information! I was looking for MG EV's and not going to look further.
I'll take this opportunity to say: This is why DOOR HANDLES should be just analog/mechanically operated : you pull it and the door opens !
Stop this stupid and dangerous trend of making door handles motorized so the seem cooler when the pop out of the door so you can use them. In an accident you either don't know where the emergency release for the door is or there is no time
Thank you for reporting on the CCP.
How ironic. They ran into a sprinkler truck and the driver of said truck didn't think to spray the car on fire that ran into him?
Until recently, cars of well-known European brands, e.g. Volkswagen, were deprived of almost all safety systems for the Chinese or Latin American markets...
There's a reason why Chinese manufacturers CAN'T dump those cars in the US: they'd never make it past safety certifications. And for the record that's why most Korean cars don't make it to the US either: they have to build them for the US market specifically, their domestic production would not make it in terms of safety (even though they're obviously not as bad as Chinese ones). I have to admit that when I decided to stop relying on Uber and finally get a car one Chinese brand seemed attractive considering the price. That brand has flooded the market in my 3rd world country but I had enough sense to not do it and get a used Japanese car instead. There were simply too many variables with Chinese brands and I didn't want to gamble that amount of money on a new shiny thing. And true to form now that manufacturer is mired in controversy, has refused to honor warranty claims people can't get replacement parts. It's just a mess.
- the US safety issues are often ridiculous. Even homolidated European cars won't make the grade unless designed specifically to pass the "rules" - safety isn't really number one - and the ridiculous rear lights on US cars are a result of misplaced concerns. - Look up "Why not allow EU cars into the USA" - safe enough for Autobahns but not Detroit - and lifted trucks. "Support for American Workers" - ie are they all that obese?? - or just the Unions got fat and lazy, so the companies closed down rather than negotiate.
USA wants cars to meet all crash tests for unrestrained occupants, just mandate either - wear a seatbelt, OR you will die in an accident, it works everywhere that citizens are discouraged from shooting law officers...
Different road surfaces and conditions. In Europe,cars are mostly driven on paved roads. North American roads are not always paved. Different suspension,design,and other modifications would be needed otherwise. Also higher ground clearance is needed. It also makes the cars heavier as well.
Your point is kinda du****m. Many cars in Japan, Germany, or entire European countries would not be able to be sold in the US due to the overly stringent safety regulations.. Why single out Korean cars????
Im overseas chinese and i scrutinize extra whenever i buy chinese product. Very sad for a culture with 3000 year old history.

Having no mechanical linkage between the door catches and hand leavers is an absolute disaster and should be banned.
What about steer-by-wire ?
Yes for things like doors there should ALWAYS be a manual over-ride option. Anything else is a potential deathtrap.
To be vaguely fair to China, not having mechanical linkages (or hiding them as a "backup" - no use if you're desperate) is a thing on non-Chinese cars too.
There literally is no linkages left in cars. Even airplanes do not have linkages to the flight control surfaces. Especially now when cars are meant to be self driving and crap.
I hope and guess that the brake pedal is still strictly linked to the brake booster. But the handbrake (emergency brake) witch is a secondary system that should work even in a complete brake failure? Like if you got onto the highway before realizing that the brake pedal had been removed kind of secondary system. They are electric. You push a button and expect the car to apply enough handbrake to hold the car on a hill. And that the automation is not going to 'brake' lose and let the car go out of control on a hill that you have left it on. A normal handbrake with the wire linkage seems unsafe enough. Let alone the GARBAGE used in todays cars/things. It it actually insane that we leave cars on hills with only the handbrake wires/connections to hold them.
In EU lorries and most airbrake systems in the world, (heavy vehicles like trains.) you have every single wheel and tire hold with brakes forced by high force springs to keep the brakes/wheels in place. You need air pressure going to the brakes to unlock the parking brakes. You have to actively force the brakes to unbreak and make it move. And even then your supposed to put physical stops in front and behind the tires. I wonder how in they do it in China. Maybe they remove the safety feature? Since it can be a pain in the ass. And a badly working brake system can have you emergency brake on the highway without wanting to. (brake failure forcing you to a highly unpleasant stop. It however is better then even a chance of not having any brakes at all...)
Gas pedals are electrically controlled today. The steering is electrically controlled too. Not even the gear selector is mechanically linked to anything! Especially EV's since there is no gearbox to change gears... Linkages was only left going to the door handles. And not even that do we have now.
The pop out airstream handles are ALL absolute disasters. VW vehicles for the last 30 years have a real bad habit of rust forming around the handles as the crappy handles BEND the metal in the door. At least the door handle only fail after 10+ years of rust! Like really Audi 100 from 1982 has streamline low air friction door handles! And to this freaking day are they REALIABLE to a fault!
My dad started to lock and unlock the car on the passenger side (even now that side lacked central locking automation.) because the driver side door key lock was so worn that it was making the hole car dangerous from overuse! That car HAD NO AIRBAGS! And it was still 10000% no freaking question that the doors had to be working in a accident/danger. It probably is about as safe to drive that old 80s car around as this modern EV's. The engine is made to go under the car in a front collision. The steering wheel Colum is made to snap apart and collaps in a front crash so that it wound not impale the driver. The hole body of the car is zincked or whatever in a anti rust solution. The car body self heals itself from RUST! 50years and at least 20 of them sitting on wet grass. And it barley has any rust on it. 36000km on the clock. Petrol engine. The brake booster has failed 2 times! The steering servo 3! That is about the only thing outside of tires and brake pads/rotors that was changed on it. Bulbs? The freaking engine and steering wheel was made to fail in a crash. And it did not cause danger because it was designed and tested by actual people not taking shortcuts, or worse.
@@TheDiner50 With sufficient redundancy, car and airliner controls being by wire is quite safe. Once your car or plane has crashed, it will not be able to steer any more, but that doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is getting out. Plane doors are manual.
imagine if these same people ran a bio research lab... I mean imagine what could happen... oh wait...
Comment of the week! Spot on 😂👍
Hahaha you win the Internet today.
oh no
yep. already happened
hahahah good one
Being unable to open door in case of crash is total insanity.... wtf
Iron coffins.
That's quite typical for any type of car. But the burning batteries should mark these cars as not-ready-for-selling.
@@miquelmarti6537 No it is not
@@markrung8051 yes it is. Or do you expect to be able to open the doors after they are smashed? Or maybe you were reffering to electrical failuire, but given your short message that's impossible to know.
@@miquelmarti6537 "yes it is. Or do you expect to be able to open the doors after they are smashed? Or maybe you were reffering to electrical failuire,"
I am talking about not being able to open a door in case of electrical/computer failure obvious. That expand significant the risk of being looked up (and particularly scary in case of battery fire)
Back in 2009, I taught English in Beijing to a Chinese car manufacturing executive. During our private conversations, he told me how it is common practice for his company to cut corners on safety standards whenever possible. "It's still a pretty good car," he reasoned, before adding that the company's American partners often became angry at his executive team when inspections revealed the Chinese lack of quality, professionalism, ethics, and accountability in their manufacturing practices. Fraudulently embezzling contract funds allocated for safety features is the rule, not the exception. Death is the consequence. I will absolutely never buy a vehicle made in China. This appalling practice is too rampant for quality assurance to check every bolt and wire. Without a culture of professionalism and honesty, Chinese products will never improve.
Yep. Their corporate business culture has a twisted ethos where they believe they're supposed to screw over who they're selling to, whether customer or contractor, and that it's the fault of the person or people who allow it to happen. It's why the videos of the buildings in China that are disastrously unsafe, that have pillars with no rebar and gravel and trash inside of them exist. The lithium batteries in EVs already have a big big danger of thermal runaway reaction that causes a fire that can't be put out by water and is in fact made worse by it, now add that twisted business culture ethos to it and you have a disaster just waiting to happen.
unfortunately too many cars worldwide use Chinese parts.
@@Itsallsotiresome that's my take on their business culture. They like shortcuts, and praise "image", forget about substance. It is insane!
When no-one buys their products they will evolve and improve, just like every company has done.
It is not really the part that is the issue but the problem is when they cut corner @@emmapeel8163
The emergency workers in red jumpsuits are standing around while a civilian is trying to get people out of the back seat.
EVs are a scam supported by Chinese and US govt
The official workers probably knew it was futile. How many of these have they seen, too many to risk themselves on an EV fire I'll bet.
@@angelachouinard4581 nah, that's the usual han hivemind™ at (not)work... 🙄
Probably worried about getting sued
@@angelachouinard4581nah, not your family, not your problem. Chinese don't do anything unless it's benefits them or their family
These are not cars, but urns with built-in cremation facilities.
😂😂
That's Tesla
Lmao
@@JonySmith-bb4gxNice try, Soy Boy. But don’t worry, Teslas are made by China’s biggest ally, Elon Musk. So, you should be rooting for Tesla.
I think you do not khow right you are.
The impact did not occur at 71 mph. I spend a decade as a traffic homicide investigator, and can quickly tell by the damage how fast a car was moving. The impact looks to be something from the range of 30-40 mph, which should have been entirely survivable. Airbag deployment is not really relevant, it wouldn't have made any difference. But the fact that the doors wouldn't open is a catastrophic failure in design.
Might have been 71 kph instead of mph then.
I crashed a Nissan Micra faster than this thing and escaped from the back door.
@@carlramirez6339 Sounds reasonable. As far as I know, China is a metric country so it would be surprising if they used miles or miles per hour in any document or report.
... Just goes to show how inaccurately this 'content creator' presents information. I could string videos of a whole lot of car fires together and say they were caused by faulty fossil fuel engines, but that's the problem with RUclips and everyone being an 'expert'.
@@BuckyPowerhe’s just reporting what Chinese media reported. It’s obvious he doesn’t think it was an unsurvivable crash
-Does the car even have airbags?
-Of course!
-Good, let's do a deployment test.
-Huh..? Deployment?
TEST??? We don't need no steeenkin' TEST!!!
“Hey I said it had airbags but I never said they worked” china probably 😂
😂😂😂
And the problem isn't just the airbags it is all the other components of the vehicle that took decades of experience of design, materials, testing, manufacturing and controls to make sure they stay that way in a country that has a legal framework to put a check on power. If a part says HSS or UHSS you know that part will actually hold up if it is from any manufacturer than China. You know the hood and other parts that are meant to crumple will do so correctly while the parts that are meant to be rigid will hold up from the US, South Korea, Germany and Japan.
Front airbags don't deploy unless the front bumper is impacted.
Tragic and unnecessary loss of life due to greed and incompetence.
These Chinese cars and motorbikes should be banned from being imported anywhere.
EVs are a scam supported by Chinese and US govt
Banned? What if they pass the MOT? Apparently according to you that even if they pass all the safety tests in countries where they have strict regulations, they should still be banned. My point is, the word banned is not to be used lightly and is unfair on companies that produce good products
@@rickysmyth Went straight over your head huh!
@@rickysmyththat sounds like something a wumao would say
@@rickysmyth If you use some of your braincells you could see the majority of product from chinese companies are bad to terrible.
I think the word "banning" is well used in this case.
I heard on the radio the other day that you could get a chinese EV for 10k US. I thought to myself, "That's an expensive bonfire."
To be fair, I've been noticing a lot more marks of fully burnt vehicles by the side of the road, don't know if the cars were Chinese EVs or not, or if they were EVs at all... and I'm talking Europe and North American roads!...
And I don't like marshmallows, so I wouldn't have anything to bring to the bonfire. . .
@@you2be839 I guess you're from a parallel universe, probably from a CCP pooed universe...
@@you2be839 hello CCP bot
Just a few weeks ago I seen some youtubers talk shit about American EVs and how the popular one is blocking "better and cheaper" Chinese EVs.
They don't know shit about Chinese EVs
Imagine running into a water truck and still dying in an inferno
Water ignites lithium
@@NedRyerson209 The water probably burns too.
Lithium as an alkali metal reacts violently when exposed to water. Just search up videos of what happens when you add sodium or potassium metal into water.
Uhm, I think you need to learn a thing or two about EV Fire Safety. You cannot, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, use WATER to extinguish an EV fire.
A lady in Florida drove her Tesla into a lake. It caught fire and burned underwater.
No Chinese EV's here please. 😮
they will bring it in the u.s. and eu market through other countries loopoles
Yes, No more BMW, no more Volvo and Polestar please! And OMG no more Tesla!
@chubbyboo2218 Thanks 😊 sorry to
hear that too.

something with China.?
