作者受小鹏汽车邀请访华，对其并行研发飞行汽车、全自动驾驶电动车和人形机器人的创新格局印象深刻。中国基础设施先进，数字化全面普及，电动汽车国产化率高。相比之下，德国乃至欧洲仍沉迷于内燃机，基础设施老化，数字化进程迟缓，且热衷于监管而非技术进步。中国正通过华为昇腾等芯片研发寻求技术独立，欧洲却显得与时代脱节。作者认为欧洲必须在回归过去与拥抱电动汽车、数字化等未来产业间做出明确选择，时间已然紧迫。

My last day in China. A reflection and summary.

I have now spent four days visiting China （well， actually five days， because turkish airlines just cancelled my flight lol）. It was a breathtaking experience. I saw and learned an incredible number of things， met wonderful people， had fascinating conversations， and， above all， got to know an entirely different culture.

I was invited to China by XPENG and had the opportunity to visit both their headquarters and their factory on site. I already said this in another post， but what left a lasting impression on me， and at the same time makes me look at Europe with concern， is that China has a different mentality of creativity. They are experimenting with flying cars， working on FSD EVs at the same time， and developing humanoid robots； an entire product portfolio， all in parallel. While high technology once came from Europe， especially from Germany， that trend has shifted.

Of course， China still depends on Western technology in certain areas. But first， it is trying to build independent production facilities and supply chains， and second， it is using this technology to go beyond what already exists. I think this can be said quite objectively. Does that mean China has already won the global competition？ Not at all. But it has become an outstanding competitor.

My subjective impressions of the infrastructure only reinforced this： a well-developed， modern road network， no potholes as far as I could tell， widespread digitalization， almost everything via QR codes， WeChat and Alipay， and a very high degree of domestically built and developed EVs.

Germany， meanwhile， still largely wants to build combustion engines， and the broader zeitgeist still struggles with electromobility. Everyday reality embarrasses itself with problems that feel like they belong to the 20th century： letters and faxes instead of emails， physical visits to government offices instead of digital administration， infrastructure and highways plagued by never-ending repair work. Germany feels like an aging behemoth refusing to accept the future and move with the times. In many areas， China has already overtaken Germany， even if only through the strategic decision to become sovereign and independent in energy policy， something that， by contrast， is becoming almost disastrous for Germany and Europe.

Does that mean everything in China is good？ Certainly not. Still， for me as a European， it was a culture shock to see how outdated and backward-looking Europe appears. While China is expanding and developing its own chip production， such as Huawei Ascend， in order to become more independent from the US and NVIDIA， and while it is pushing forward into robotics and high tech， Europe seems delighted to congratulate itself on the next AI regulation or， as recently， on the misuse of emojis for supposedly illegal activities.

Europe has lost touch. Full stop. But ultimately， these are political decisions. Europe has to choose： future or past， regression or progress， combustion engines， letters and regulation， or EVs， digitalization and data center expansion.
