Sorry but how would an increase in their car exports be related by the West sanctioning Russia? That makes zero sense.


I guess the idea is that If Russians cannot buy western cars, they’ll buy the new Ladas


It's simple - after sanctions, the Chinese got a much bigger pie of the Russian car market.


Not EV-specific, but:

> Chinese customs data shows during the first 11 months of 2023, China's vehicle shipments to Russia soared 545% from a year ago, to 840,000 units, making it China's fastest-growing market.
