Time to spend a billion dollars lobbying to prevent their sale in the US instead of investing that money in actual innovation that would make their products competitive.
Ford ... the company that reduced their line to ultra-expensive trucks/SUV and high priced vroom-vroom because they thought they could thrive on selling only to the wealthy ... sees that might not have been a great idea.
He's not really humbled, the rush for money and cost cutting to please shareholders has lead to almost no innovation in the past decades.
I think it’s good to be humbled
Once I was the king of Spain, now I eat humble pie.

Pretty impressive that a smartphone company, that's kinda like the Apple of China, decided to just make a car, and within a decade came out with one of the best cars ever made. If anyone hasn't, I highly recommend watching some reviews of the SU-7.
Neat to see that Ford's CEO sees the writing on the wall and is sounding the alarm, but he has no power to change the company's overall direction, and it will go the way of the dodo. Ford has the reputation of a company that sells oversized trucks to obnoxious overbearing US patriots who are more likely to be drunk driving and kill an innocent person than any other vehicle on the road.
