Build Your Dreams — an electric vehicle manufacturer widely known in China— is now taking hold in Lancaster, California, about a hundred kilometers outside of Los Angeles.

On his first visit to the factory on Tuesday, Chinese Ambassador to the U.S., Qin Gang, took his time to speak to employees about their experience working for the company.

During his visit, the Chinese ambassador made the point that this factory is a major employer for this rural town. It has contributed to the improvement of air quality, and on top of that, it helps to fight climate.
