Electricity and batteries are dangerous things, it's ironic how the west have spent decades writing up regulations on how electrical systems must be designed, what safety features must exist and who is licensed to install them.
Then we're going into modern day clown world, and suddenly a shithole like China who copies the technology can spit out electric appliances without obeying any safety regulations at all, assembled by incompetent bugmen using chinesium as isolation material. No wonder there's so many electrical fires nowadays.

The chinese cars i've seen in Europe lately are actually really impressive. I've been running into Jaecoo J7's lately and, even knowing about them, I recently saw a car pass me (I saw the side of it) and I pulled behind him - it wasn't until I was quite close that I realized it wasn't a LR Velar.
They're actually REALLY nice for the money. I was buying a rangerover recently and the salesman actually told me that the chinese brands are taking a big chunk of their sales. I thought it was BS until I realized that you basically get a Velar clone with every option for 75% of the cost of a base Evoque with the smallest engine. The only issue is they have only like 150hp - which isn't a problem for many.

Tofu dreg trash. The only reason they don't explode or catch fire immediately is because EU still has a somewhat functional set of consumer protection laws that seize and crush the worst shitboxes before they enter the markets.
Don't buy the knockoffs, the original cost more because it was researched and produced domestically by competent workers who got paid for their work. Support your local businesses.
Correct. Geely likes to brag that they can bring new models to market in one year or less. That typically takes three to four years in the West, but that's because there's proper engineering being done to ensure that vehicles safety and durability. Meanwhile, the chinks Copy+Paste the engineering from one vehicle and think it'll apply to any vehicle. Losers risk their family's life just to save a few pennies in a tofu shit can.
Pull your head out of your ass. They look "nice" because they steal Western designs, but maybe you missed the part where they're stamped incredibly thin, not always with galvanized steel, with flimsy "safety" beams. They're death traps. China has ZERO safety standards for their cars. And why should they? All their car companies are owned by the CCP and operated by their cronies. The law doesn't apply to them, so a million people dying from their flimsy cars is no concern to the CCP or their EU subordinates that have been paid off.
Correct. They tried the same thing in the 80's with VCRs. Flood the market with cheap options, even selling them at a loss, to destroy the market competitors. Then they swoop in at the end and claim a monopoly. There's no undoing that without gov't intervention. We can't allow ANY Chinese cars into America, even if they try to build them here or in Mexico. It absolutely CAN NOT be allowed in any shape or form.
There's no shortage of videos where Chinese people complain about their cars falling apart. But sure, mUh iNoVaTiOn, cOmrADe! 🙄

This never happened in the US.
We had the Underwriters who would certify that electronic devices were made according to best practices, that's pretty much it.
