Is this not standard Chinese building practices? I saw a docu on this when building infrastructure for the silk road projects. It is not OK in any way, and should be stopped, but should also be expected.

You just waiting around to be fed information, or a troll? These are publicly listed in every developed economy, for every make and model sold.

Or just not in the market for a new car and never see it brought up in these discussions. No need to be a dick about it.

Your comment came across as a "china bad" "just asking questions" bad faith-er. Sometimes there is a need to be a dick about it.
