We all know how China feels about intellectual property. Same thing Lifan did with Honda. Title: Re: Chinese Knock Off Post by: Galactica on December 11, 2024, 05:59:29 PM Heh heh. Now there’s quality. A Chinese made Italian tractor.
Title: Re: Chinese Knock Off Post by: hardrockminer on December 11, 2024, 08:05:58 PM I try to avoid buying anything made in China but sometimes it's not possible to find alternatives. Today I bought two cans of smoked oysters. When I got home I checked the label...from China.

Probably marginally better than the Chinese copy of a Russian copy of a pre-war German motorcycle that they normally sell :P Title: Re: Chinese Knock Off Post by: Kiwi_Roy on December 13, 2024, 11:45:21 AM The Chiang Jiang motorcycle factory made over one million of the russian German knock-off sidecar outfits for the chinese army
Passing through Beijing once I visited an American who was buying up Chang Jiang and swaping in used BMW motor/gearboxes He said the original motors had no lube pump, just splash lubrication. on another trip I booked a tour with Beijing Sideways, they picked me up in a BMW powered sidecar and took me out to the great wall, an all day trip. |
