Daniel Howes: How GOP reverse in auto policy speeds rise of empowered China

3 weeks ago | thederrick.com | Daniel Howes

Rarely has Ronald Reagan's tongue-in-cheek aphorism "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" proven more apt than in today's auto industry, whipsawed between the opposing worldviews of two presidential administrations, their we-know-best policies and reality. President Donald Trump is now calling the automotive policy shots, and they look nothing like the climate-focused flood of federal programs fielded by the Biden administration to electrify the auto industry over the past four years.

Howes: Simplified auto show reflects global auto industry transformation

Jan 20, 2025 | detroitnews.com | Daniel Howes

The Detroit Auto Show is not what it used to be — and that's OK. Because the auto industry showcased the past 10 days at Huntington Place is not what it used to be, either. It's being transformed by quickly evolving technology, new competitors from Silicon Valley to China, ambitious regulatory policy from Washington and Beijing to the European Union, and battles with labor old and new.

In old Detroit, they would be proposing to raze the iconic complex after decades of deterioration and disinvestment, or hanging onto it in hopes the business environment improves. Or they would propose selling it to outside investors who promise investments that never come because they say the numbers don't quite pencil in this town.
Howes: How MSU's new president aims to turbocharge economic development engine

Nov 21, 2024 | detroitnews.com | Daniel Howes

Lansing Mayor Andy Schor remembers prodding a parade of Michigan State University presidents for help shaping a mutual economic development agenda to bolster business in and around the capital city. "I talked to all of them," recalled Schor, mayor since 2018. "And they said, 'I don't think that's a priority.' I don't think previous presidents have focused on that."Until now.
