The World's Carmakers Are Struggling to Compete with China
   Global carmakers are facing a reckoning as US, European and Japanese brands lose ground to Chinese rivals setting the pace not only in electric vehicles, but also in batteries, design and software. The BBC visited factory floors in Beijing and Hefei and found striking levels of automation and software development speed, leaving foreign brands that once dominated the Chinese market struggling to keep up.
   "We have no chance against this," Honda chief executive Toshihiro Mibe told Japanese media after visiting a highly automated factory in Shanghai. Ford chief executive Jim Farley has also warned that Western carmakers are "in a fight for our lives" as Chinese rivals expand globally.
   After decades spent investing in joint ventures with Chinese partners to build vehicles, foreign carmakers are now changing the nature of those partnerships to stay competitive.
   "The biggest mistake that the developed world is making is believing that the transition is only about electric cars," says Shanghaibased auto analyst Bill Russo. "It's about who will lead the next generation of mobility technology."

Leia o trecho a seguir, extraído do romance Pride and Prejudice, de Jane Austen.
His arrival was soon known at the Parsonage; for Mr. Collins was walking the whole morning within view of the lodges opening into Hunsford Lane, in order to have the earliest assurance of it; and after making his bow as the carriage turned into the park, hurried home with the great intelligence. On the following morning he hastened to Rosings to pay his respects. There were two nephews of Lady Catherine to require them, for Mr. Darcy had brought with him a Colonel Fitzwilliam, the younger son of his uncle, Lord—; and, to the great surprise of all the party, when Mr. Collins returned, the gentlemen accompanied him. Charlotte had seen them from her husband’s room, crossing the road, and immediately running into the other, told the girls what an honour they might expect, adding,— "I may thank you, Eliza, for this piece of civility. Mr. Darcy would never have come so soon to wait upon me."
AUSTEN, Jane. Pride and Prejudice. Edited by Vivien Jones. London: Penguin Books, 2003. Página 199.
