I don't think BYD would have 120,000 engineers on payroll if they weren't nessesary.
It's possible they would. Maybe they'd want to make sure the government wants them to stay operating at any cost, because if the government fails to do so they'll have 120,000 unemployed engineers.
That's a whopping 0.00008% of china, I did that calculation because I thought it would be a bigger percentage than that. 120,000 is a lot! I guess that puts into perspective how big the Chinese population is.
Also the chinese govenment wants technological development, there goal is to be at the forefront of computers and carbon neutral technology. BYD is leading the electric car industry right now and China wants them to prosper, not shut them down.
.008%, you forgot to convert to a percentage
Still very small though
Oh I thought I did do that, I must have just copied the wrong result.
