the battery itself is $25

Kinda steep considering a 3rd party store in Singapore charges a similar amount including labour for a battery replacement for a old redmi note 7.

Here in Singapore MMS was discontinued several years ago as people had left for other messaging platforms like WhatsApp long ago.

An official at the hospital in Yinchuan in Ningxia Hui autonomous region, northwestern China, said the fee was for two days’ use of a chair by the patient who was sitting on it while receiving an infusion.

$0.70 is a heck a lot cheaper than the consultation fees you get charged in a government subsidized medical institution in Singapore.

If you have been following the Chinese solar industry, you would be aware that solar manufacturers from China, such as Suntec etc have gone bankrupt over the past decade or more. China's approach of allowing underperforming solar companies to go bankrupt is one of the reasons why their solar industry is so formidable.

Well at least whatever profit Kia can't make in China due to the low price. They can hopefully gain back from markets outside China thanks to the lack of competition driving prices down.

The opposite of dumping is happening. For example the Kia EV5 is sold at [$20k in China](https://electrek.co/2023/11/17/kia-launches-20k-ev5-electric-suv-china-rival-tesla-model-y/) while the same made in China model is sold overseas [Starting at $46k](https://electrek.co/2024/04/04/kia-set-to-export-this-all-electric-suv-at-a-price-that-undercuts-tesla/)
