Produced by Shanghai-based automotive journalist Mark Rainford, a former communications executive for Mercedes-Benz, the channel is one of several by China-based Western commentators agog at what they are seeing—and driving.
Very convincing.
Think I’ll just continue to be correct and you can dance along to the merry tune of everyone else who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
