It’s still “made in China”

Bit like Chynese cars. Total crap.

The bridge might collapse in 2 years.

Who here is game enough to buy a Chinese car?

I could have sworn the Chinese were good at building things. Did they not build some sort of a wall way way back. I wonder if it is still standing? I probably collapses just a couple of years later.

You can only admire them.

They also built a hospital with 1000 beds in it in a week too back in 2003.

Only Iphones with a clear foot print from Merika where everything is strictly controlled. In fact, they just assemble the devices.

But for anything else, it's just crap. Examples - Sangyong, Great Wall and LDV.

Awful.

A lot of slave labour with workforce on about $1 dollar per hour.

They should bid for the world cup. They will get it.

Now this is interesting.

Salary Range: Salaries in China range from 7,410 CNY (£868)per month (minimum salary) to 131,000 CNY (£3,633)per month (maximum average salary, actual maximum is higher).

Median Salary: The median salary is 31,100 CNY per month, which means that half (50%) of the population are earning less than 31,100 CNY while the other half are earning more than 31,100 CNY.

Compare that with Britain where the 50% of the working people earn less than £2083 per month.

That's great. But they still make shit cars.

That's the measuring stick.

if you are on a budget, the Japanese and Koreans make very good cars as a matter of fact.

Toyota = good
Mitsubishi = good
Hyundai = good
Kia = good

Sangyong = crap
Great Wall = crap
LDV = crap.

If you are not a budget, then Germans are just superior

BMW, Mercedes, VW, Porsche and so on.

Also Ford, Genral Motors, Silverados are great

And Italians for performance.

It's pretty clear to me that Western technology is to be admired here.

Prove me wrong.

A guy asked me just yesterday, what my favourite plane is and he was surprised by my answer, probablyt expecting me to say something like F-18, F-22, F-35, Eurofighter, Saam, or Rafale.

I told him the BF-109, and P-51D Mustang.

he drew me into a deeper conversation, and he managed to get the following out of me:

C-47, Spitfire, Sopwith Camel, B29, B24, B-52, Tu-95 Bear, Stuka, Hurricane etc etc.

Then he asked me about civil planes, so I told him Beechcraft Mooney. :lol:

Everyone knows, if you want tech, cars and planes, then you just can't beat the Japanese, koreans, Germans for engineering, Italians for performance, and Americans for muscle.

Chyna is just shit.
