There’s tons of Chinese vehicles on Paraguayan roads (where I live) and the biggest issue, by a country mile, is the lack of parts when something breaks. Even a minor thing like a bushing can be impossible to get, let alone transmission or suspension components (known to break in potholed roads here in Paraguay) and so on. The cars are not bad. But there’s near-zero aftersale support.

If Chinese industry is SOOOO BAAAAD why all manufacturers even for premium or luxury goods go to China (your beloved Iphone was built by Chinese, part of your luxury Swiss watch were made in China).

[@-A-lm5xb]

@@mmadmic There is a huge difference between Chinese goods and goods from Western first that are made in China. The latter are made in factories designed and paid for my those companies to the same standards as they build them anywhere else. The Chinese factories are anything but. Chinese firms just churn stuff out with virtually no rules to stop them doing what they want, no quality control to stop them using much cheaper materials and techniques, and so on. There are exceptions to the rule but they are exceptions, not the norm. Western manufacturers go there because they don't have the same health and safety rules that we have here, which saves the manufacturers money and labour is at least 10x cheaper with the typical factory workers wage being somewhere between £30 and £60 a week. They don't have things like maximum working hours, paid holidays and pension plans so it is vastly cheaper to make your products in China even if you have to build the factory and take over quality control. We also still class China as an emerging economy, which means that we're subsidising their exports so it's vastly cheaper to ship your goods from there. That's why you can buy goods from China for less than the price that it costs to post a letter across the country - we're paying for their shipping costs!
