• The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China have been arguing over the prospects of green technology for electric cars in China.
• Last month, the NDRC’s Li Gang called the electric car ventures in China "hopeless" and "garbage technology". The MIIT argued that Beijing was not built in a day.
• Premier Wen Jiabao also voiced concerns that problems involving the technical path, technologies, investment and policy support make the future of electric and hybrid cars in China uncertain.
• It appears that China's government, which has devoted more towards electric vehicles than those of any other country, is now rethinking its commitment towards the project and has yet to release details.

• Michael Yoshikami, founder and chief executive of wealth manager YCMNET Advisors, believes Warren Buffett may buy BYD, as its shares continue to plummet.
• Buffett bought 10% of BYD in 2008 with an endorsement from Charlie Munger and David Sokol, sparking a tenfold appreciation in stock price within a year.
• BYD's sales are falling as its international plans are delayed and the markets continue to question the company's technology.
• Thomson Reuters data shows that full ownership of BYD is well within Buffet's reach and is in line with the size of deal he has been talking about doing.
