Not really, Audi, BM and VW have few plants in China,
Volvo now belong to china geely, I will anytime buy a Audi if
living in China, if you ask any audi and VW sale people here, they
will tell you make in China, like toyota and honda, make in
thailand.
The German auto have move into China. In Shanghai, most cab are
VW with plastic shield protection for driver, in beijin, no cover,
like singapore, but it you take a cab from beijin into tianjin or
chengdu, half way thru, the cab driver will ask you to go for a tea
or toilet break, he will fix up a plastic shield board to
cut himself from paxs, because beijin is safe, out of beijin,
especially tianjin, lots of hua yuan chia
There's a few kind of brand and model of european cars are
consider a very luxury to own in China.........
Of course those common model is dirt cheap la.........
Beijing, currently is booming like nobody business, many peasant
turn millionaire just overnight, mainly thru property
sell...........
Even some of the "rich village", you can see BMW, Volvo,
Mercedes zooming in and out..........
And their Gov just throw and throw and throw money into many
nonsense infra structure which turn out to become a white elephant
site.........
A very good example is the 2008 Olympic stadium........currently
become a sight seeing for tourist, in their local term, they call
it "骗钱", collect entry fee to see stadium??? Wtf...........
Another example is this place specially built to held a
Strawberry Expo, the event lasted just few days, after which, the
whole place was left vacant until now..........
＂人民富裕了＂........I totally agree on this quote by their
leader..........
