Zeekr already expanded to the EU (and soon UK) so there shouldn't be a language barrier. You can argue they have some supply chain data and dealer network experience via Volvo / Polestar Canada so they can piggy back off of that knowledge.
VinFast arrived in North America with a lot less foreign-market experience but somehow managed to make it work here, so I imagine Zeekr would have the necessary experience and know-how to succeed as well.
