Same thing happened with Japan.
This is before my time but I've known lots of older people who born in the 50s and grew up in the 60s and 70s.
Products made in Japan were once considered cheap things. I ride motorcycles so I talk to a lot of people about the history, especially with Honda and Yamaha. North American motorcycles were first British, German and American. When the Japanese started in the 50s and 60s, everyone laughed at them ... a common racist thing to call them back then was 'rice cookers' ... but within a decade, they took over and by the 80s they were dominating.
The same thing is happening in the EV market. Right now everything is even and the market is still new. But in a decade or two or less, the Chinese will dominate everything.
But Japan won by heavily improving the quality and reliability of their products, and that's not what China is doing.
A market China has grown it's share in quite a lot is EVs. Their main competitor is the US-based Tesla, which is known to have huge reliability issues. I'd say don't throw stones from glass houses?
