Could you drive with chinese car? Their cars have 44% market share in China's car market.

No I *could* not because my government is effectively banning the Chinese from entering the market.
Nicholas Gomez
China won't let foreign companies sell cars in China without them first a partnering with a Chinese company.

Jaxson Davis
because Chinese cars are fucking terrible
Charles Sanchez
I mean, they are drivable so yes I can drive one in a technical sense
but the vast majority of them cant pass safety tests in America, Europe, or the rest of Asia. If by some miracle they do, they will get sued by other manufacturers for copyright infringement because the Chinese government can't protect them in an international court of law. You will not see a purely chinese made car sold in the west for a very long time.
Robert Wright
>tfw I only ever knew of Great Wall because of their relatively recent entry into the local market.
I am shocked that there are so many Chinese manufacturers. I knew there were a few more that I didn't know the names of that literally just stole car designs and made them independently like the rest of Chinese industry does, but holy shit that's a lot of manufacturers. Half of these badges look like GTA car manufacturers.
Michael Nguyen
Have there ever been good Chinese cars?

Example of chinese-made Chevrolet sedan's crash-worthy bumper.... It's an example of Chevrolet made by Chinese factories for the Chinese market. But the amount of material in the bumper and fascia seems to be minimal. What would happen if this Chinese-made Chevrolet was imported into the USA and it collided with a Miata?
Connor Miller
GAC, Geely, and Great Wall are literally the only three that are manufacturing anything close to Western standards.
Juan Ortiz
BYD is ok

Joshua Bennett
BYD and Foton too, but Fotons rust like shit after three years.
Camden Gomez
Fotons are literally just badge engineered Mercedes trucks with different panels.
>and of course they would have a rusting problem being Mercs

Properly tensioned bicycle wheel with good quality double wall rimz and 28/32 or even 36 spokes is extremely fucking strong.
Each spoke has a tensile strength of like 500ftlbs but as long as the wheel is properly tensioned all that force is distributed across the wheel.
A paper-thin metal bumper can be ripped with your bare hands.

If it will be interesting/fast/not Electshit I can

Rover too.

I would love to entertain the though of a Chinese EV
>turn car on
>battery low because the charger is broken
>get new charger
>$5.99 but it takes a month to ship from China
>comes with mystery mini cd that you never try
>charge car
>go for a drive
>try a couple of pulls from a red light because muh torques
>batteries start on fire from being depleted too quickly
Cooper Baker
Yeah that's exactly why they're doing that, good goy
Landon Brown
Haima's logo and cars suspiciously looks like Mazda's
Henry Brown
this, most foreign brands like Kia, Ford and Buick you see rolling around in China are only there because they had to build a factory there first.
Ryan Cox
>GAC, Geely, and Great Wall are literally the only three that are manufacturing anything close to Western standards.
Chery is an example of Chinese crash test fakery. For one of the cars that looked close to the Western car it had copied, they replaced the outer skin with their car's skin and submitted those for testing. Picture related.

Modern econoboxes all look the same anyway. Most soccer moms don't give a fuck if theirs was built by Mr Nakamura, Mr Park or Mr Qian.
Eventually the Chinese will figure out how to make a decent car, and then they'll nuke some major western car maker out of the market.
It's pretty much inevitable.
Christian Rogers

If you are ineffective or no one listens to you, you get ignored. If you are effective, publish and have lots of subscribers, you would be killed or kidnapped and displayed as an example. Various overseas dissidents have suddenly died or suddenly disappeared and then reappeared inside mainland China just to publish an apology and then they disappeared. It's a strong warning to anyone that becomes effective at gathering negative public opinion against China if they cannot be silenced through use of the Internet Water Army or by forcing the forums to delete those people.
China's Officially Hired Forum Commentators (tens of thousands of them).
en.wikipedia.org
To be a 50center, the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China now holds regular training sessions, where participants are required to pass an exam after which they are issued a job certification.
Water Army: Besides the 50cent Army, there are professional writers also recruited and they are paid more by the Chinese Government as the Internet Water Army. Certainly, professional sockpuppets are a problem on wikipedia.
en.wikipedia.org
For better control and unified posting quality, the Chinese government has reduced efforts on the water army and created its own department that does the same thing. They recruit from their water army.

Would love one of those chink EV shitboxes as DD.
Like this thing BYD Qin, 2x110kW electric motors, has to be batshit fast in city traffic.

Are those Chinese WATTs? I get used to seeing various brands of these Chinese 3-inch desktop speakers for the PC rated at 700 Watts continuous RMS power.
Justin Cox
I've never liked that picture. That bike completely missed the bumper beam and didn't go deep enough to go past the frame rail. Of course the soft pliable plastic is going to deform, that's literally its job. Pic related, the bumper beam doesn't go all the way across on most cars. There's literally nothing behind the corner of the bumper cover even on US cars.
Cameron Diaz
Someone here said he drove one in China and that its as fast as they say it is but in super scary way like no grip and hard to steer while on power.
David Jones
>but in super scary way like no grip and hard to steer while on power.
That's probably why the government insists USA companies create design houses and their associated factory in China in order to do business there. The car design and engineering trains up the chinese. It's hard to learn simply by building from copies of stolen blueprints and stolen intellectual property when some of the underlying design logic is not apparent.
Basically, the Chinese government forces Western companies to give to them the rope by which they will then hang the Western companies later. It's ruthless and thick-skinned of them but ruthless thick-skinned governing hypocrisy has been that way through thousands of years of recorded Chinese history. What's going on now is just a more modern version that preys on the sheep.
Adrian Miller

They already know how. It's just that they want to have maximum profit, so they cut corners all over the place.
Jace Williams
Chinese copycat practises are so uncanny.
I absolutely can understand making a cheap fucking electronic goytoy and slapping a faux apple logo and hoping some idiot buys it. Building such a thing in China is cheap.
But a car? Come the fuck on. Mass manufacturing of cars takes some serious resources. Are they really unable to come up with a brand that's not a ridiculously funny rockstar-kind-of-satire ripoff of a well established one?
Brandon Bennett
I have bought enough cheap crap from China that I know to avoid it at all costs. I once had a tap out from China snap in half. The inside of the thing looked like an Aero bar.
Michael Bell
Sounds like a suspension problem.
Juan Hall
>tfw geely could own fca and make fca's lineup even shittier than they already are.
uh oh guys
Jack Turner
They don't want the goyim realize they're buying overpriced cars and trucks.
Elijah Thomas
People have always paid more for cachet. Nothing wrong with that. It's a "valuable" item for some social groups.
Mason Edwards
Fungwa buses have made me skeptical of any vehicle owned by a chinese business
Adrian Bailey
If you figure out how to lease me one for $100 a month and make it reliable enough to get me to work and the grocery store. I'd be fine with the complete deathtrap aspect as long as it's cheap.
Brody Cook
>I'd be fine with the complete deathtrap aspect as long as it's cheap.
And that post is an example why the Chinese will win in the end and own the other american companies when they go out of business. Most people don't care that the Chinese illegally do so many things. All those people want is a low price while they keep on whining how poor quality the american companies while they buy chinese goods instead.
Leo Cook
>Could you drive with chinese car?
No. From what i've seen, even the Chinese don't like Chinese cars. They only buy them because it's cheap. Most Chinese cars are copies of other cars and actually offer badge packages to customers to badge them as the legitimate thing.
