No. China didn't do it 'overnight'. They started their transition over 20 years ago. Try telling ANYONE bar the greens in the west that they should transition all cars to electric back then and see how they would laugh to your face.

The west is late because it lacked the vision to do it in the past, and is now paying the price by scrambling to do it late.

But, I suppose it's better to be late than never.
