Honda, Toyota and Ford CEOs have all come out recently and said that they are under huge threat by the Chinese.
Quote:
Honda CEO and President Toshihiro Mibe recently traveled to China to gain insight into how domestic companies are churning out so many products in such a short timeframe. After visiting an auto supplier factory in Shanghai, he made a stark remark: “We have no chance against this," Nikkei Asia reports.
Honda’s leadership isn’t alone in sounding the alarm across the supply chain. In an October 2025 interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Ford CEO Jim Farley didn’t mince words either:
'They have enough [production] capacity in China with existing factories to serve the entire North American market, put us all out of business.'
Similarly, former Toyota CEO Koji Sato recently told suppliers during a meeting with representatives from 484 companies that unless things change, the company’s very existence could be at risk:
'Unless things change, we will not survive. I want everyone to acknowledge this sense of crisis.'
