“He emulates Steve Jobs’ fashion sense but loves to brag that his company has already surpassed Apple in areas including design, craftsmanship, hardware and business models,” Julie Makinen reports for The Los Angeles Times. “His company — which is involved in film production, “smart” TVs, video streaming, mobile phones, bicycles and more — has been called the ‘Netflix of China.'”
“Last year, he put Tesla in his crosshairs,” Makinen reports. “Jia, chairman and founder of Leshi Internet Information & Technology Co., also known as LeTV, is linked to the Faraday Future electric car start-up in Gardena. Incorporation papers for Faraday list Chaoying Deng — who previously ran a Leshi movie-business affiliate in the U.S. — as Faraday’s chief executive.”

“loves to brag that his company has already surpassed Apple”
If you need to repeatedly brag about it, I’m skeptical — to say the least.
Is it just me or is he bragging about his company’s lack of vision an innovation and just its extreme ability to copy others’ ideas?
My guess is he won’t come out with a car till after Apple does.
His company that nobody has ever heard of has already surpassed Apple. Riiiiiight…
Nobody has heard of it? Maybe you’re in the centre of your own little world. Did you know that the world is bigger than the United States? China has a much bigger population than the US and China markets to Africa, the Middle East, India, South America and Europe as well as the US.
So if everyone in China has heard of it, but no one outside of China has heard of it, I think his statement stands. If you want to brag about having “surpassed Apple” you need to have convinced more than the people in your home market, or better convinced people outside of your host country that you even exist.
Fail.
Never heard of it. Must be cheap crap.
The man is a legend …
… in his own mind.
… in his own whine!
In his own pants.
I wonder if he’s a brain surgeon and rock star too?

This guy sounds like an oriental version of Steve Ballmer.
Copying your way to a level of success.
That is about right.
Oriental is a rug!
A rug is what Steve Ballmer needs on his head, but one that looks better than Donald Trump’s.
Oriental is a direction. A direction towards the east to be exact. Occidental is a direction toward the west.
A far Eastern version of Steve Ballmer. Sounds right. Next thing you know, people will get offended at being called an East Coaster.
When East meets West in a head-on collision, that’s considered Occidental
His orientation is in the wrong direction
…or a chink or jap or slope.
Oh my pitiful son! You are so incredibly pathetic. Get back under your bridge and quit bothering the nice people.
…or a gook. Don’t disappoint mom by leaving them out
And there you have it folks. The best of what American, Right-Wing Bigots have to offer, all wrapped up in the Constitution and Confederate Flag.
GOD BLESS YOU, botvinnik. No one else will.
heh, man you’re easy.
And you’re a conservative troll that has to ruin every fucking article with off topic propaganda, and hate speech, evidently with MDN’s blessings. Now give us kiss, big boy… ❤️
Do they still say that in the Orient?

Maybe I was’t that far off the mark.
net earnings of 7.5 million in 2014
LOL.
multiply that by 8 times or so and you got Ahrendts first year salary.
Last QUARTER apple’s net was 11,100 million.
apple probably spends more money on R&D on lightning connectors that all of that dude’s one year earnings. So in what from could he possibly surpass Apple innovation (even the maths don’t add up).
When the article was published earlier linking it to Apple the first thing I did was search for the name and this information came, shows the level of research that goes into some articles.
A real jack of all trades but a master of none
DELUSIONAL: …loves to brag that his company has already surpassed Apple in areas including design, craftsmanship, hardware and business models
He makes me very wary of ‘Faraday Future’. The word ‘Yugo’ comes to mind.
