s/Chinese/Huawei

It’s 2026. Headlines don’t have to obfuscate brands behind the country of origin.

it says Chinese in the title and even if it didn't say, it's already expected any innovation to EVs will for sure not come from EU or US

I’m criticizing the title, not the HN submission title.

Your other point is fair, but what I’m getting at is that there’s no reason to obfuscate. If Huawei did something cool, and they did, the publication can be more forthright about it rather than letting Xiaomi or BYD share in that credit incidentally.

I assume Huawei is not cool anymore (since Trump banned them and sinophobic western countries adopted his baseless stance, US should have monopoly on spying their allies) and only Tesla and BYD can be mentioned in headline, sometimes only Tesla to God forbid not promote Chinese brands.

Or the one who wrote the headline sucks at his or her job. Occam’s razor saves you from geopoliticizing lazy headline writing practices.
