Just a microcosm look at Chinese technology;

I was in Australia and there was a promotion display of the Chinese Great Wall Steed pick up.

I had a look round and they seemed ok, especially for the ridiculously low price.

A couple of years later my local Citroen dealers was full of them, a bargain compared to the mainstream pick ups.

Six months later they were gone and it was back to being a Citroen dealership.

Later on I was at a shoot and a lad pulled up in one, he got out, slammed the door and the back window popped out and shattered !

I asked him what he thought of them ; “biggest pile of shite ever mate, I’ll be scrapping it, can’t get spares, I’m going back to Toyota !”,

Moral of the story; you only get what you pay for !

Cheers.

The Chinese have hit a problem, After years of the one child only policy, 

Disproportionate number of men to women due to sex-specific abortions and female abandonment/infanticide (same as India),I think there’s around 30 million Chinese guys will never get married,it got so desperate polyandry was suggested as a solution,still a fascinating country however.

Yes, with western technology and plant. The Great Wall used Japanese engines but the build quality was shit.

MG isn’t a good example, they were shit when they were built here !

me pals still got one it has an italian engine ? put  some miles on it to be fair must be 15 year old now not had much bother

As far as I’m aware, Chinese MG’s had their final assembly and PDI done in the UK at Longbridge until recently. The Chinese pulled out and all assembly and PDI is now done in China to save money.

Will this affect quality and reliability ? Who knows.

Cheers.

With that family it would appear, The the Apple never falls far from the tree. How the hell his brother became leader of a major political party in this country, defies belief.

Its that bad that they are now offering incentives for families to have 3 or more kids, Not everything in China is as rosy as they portray, 

And a lack of females apparently. When they found out it was a girl they would have an abortion!
