Longriver Podcast

I spoke with analyst TP Huang about BYD, exploring his writing and analysis of the company, electrification and China's new industrial revolution. If you are interested in these topics, I highly recommend you read TP's Substack. He excels in explaining the engineering and technical aspects which make electrification and BYD's rapid progress possible.TP also posts regularly on X (@tphuang).
