For a while now, the Chinese government has taken countermeasures. On October 31, China’s two major aircraft carriers, the Liaoning and Shandong, conducted their first-ever joint training exercises in the South China Sea. Chinese state media called them “the strongest surface fleet in Asia.” Foreign media pointed out that this was likely a display of military strength, aimed at containing the Philippines and countering U.S. and Japanese military presence in the Asia-Pacific. Taiwan’s military experts noted that, despite these advances, China’s aircraft carriers still can’t match the capabilities of the U.S. Navy’s carrier strike groups, due to limitations in aircraft capacity, takeoff methods, and the lack of overseas supply bases.

The China-made 2025 BYD Han is an electric car that you can now buy in Europe. Time for the moose test, where the four-door EV has to get through the cones.With a length of 196.65 inches (4,995 millimeters), the Han is a pretty big car. A Mercedes-Benz EQE, on the other hand, is 196.9 inches long. Each axle of the EV is powered by an electric motor that adds up to 510 horsepower (380 kilowatts). The 85.4-kilowatt-hour battery gives the car a WLTP range of 324 miles (521 km). The prices start at €70,805, which is about $75,618.The Han is first put through the slalom by KM77.com, which makes the car hard to drive. The driver has a hard time keeping the car on a straight path through the cones because the accelerator responds so quickly.The Han gets through the slalom in 23.9 seconds thanks to the driver. It’s the same speed as a BMW X1 xDrive30. A Porsche Taycan GTS, on the other hand, can speed through the cones in 21.5 seconds.The animal test comes next. BYD builds the Han so that it is easy to drive rather than quick to handle. This test shows that the car has understeer. The car can’t make it to the third set of cones because it’s going 47.85 miles per hour (77 kilometers per hour) at the entrance speed. It speeds right through the second stage.For the test to go well, the testers need to slow down the opening speed to 43.5 mph (70 kph). It’s almost fast enough to pass at 45.98 mph (74 kph), but the Han just barely hits a cone. Another failed attempt at 46.6 mph (75 kph).In Europe, BYD also sells two electric SUVs. The Atto 3 is the smaller model, and it starts at about $47,642 (44,625 euros) in Germany. The Tang, which costs $76,228 (71,400 euros), is the bigger type with seven seats. In 2025, the brand also plans to bring the Dolphin hatchback and Seal car to that market.A story says that BYD is looking into whether to get into the US passenger car market. The company already makes buses there.
