>What does the loss and being terrible at selling cars have to do with EU laws? EU laws didn't make them be shit.

Do you just not understand how EU car regulations work? Otherwise I think you would understand why the 4 Billion loss is something Mercedes is happy to accept. Because it simply isn't a 4 Billion dollar loss.

>How would the Chinese have lot money if Daimler lost that money before they entered the partnership with Geely?

It's been 5 years since the partnership. The company isn't even called Daimler anymore and if they aren't loosing money now...

>but at least they're a great place to work?

Yes. Also people can go wherever they want whenever they want, which is another great benefit. Enormous benefits all together, which is why China is so keen on building cars.
