These Are The Most Blatant Chinese Knockoff Vehicles

BY Brad Anderson | Posted on July 19, 2020
 

China is home to all kinds of copycat products, including everything from fashion to timepieces to technology and, of course, vehicles.

 

In this video from CarWow, we are presented with some of the most blatant knockoffs out of China. Some you’re probably already familiar with, but there are some that may be new to you.

 

One of the most infamous knockoffs from China is the Landwind X7 that was built between 2015 and 2019. Clearly ‘inspired’ (aka, being an almost direct copy) by the first-generation Range Rover Evoque, the X7 demonstrated just how hard it is for foreign automakers to protect their designs in the People’s Republic. Jaguar Land Rover took Landwind to court in 2015 but lost. In 2019, however, it did eventually win the case, forcing production of the X7 to end.

Placing these here, as well, as this story seems to be growing larger:

After what came out today, more than likely, the Chinese are burning documents at all of their official (and unofficial) US locations.

This line of thinking seems to be gaining traction, regarding the burning in the Chinese Consulate General in Houston:

China threatens retaliation after US orders closure of Houston consulate

 

China on Wednesday condemned what it called an “unprecedented escalation" by the United States and threatened to retaliate after it was ordered to close the Chinese consulate in Houston.

 

The U.S. "will not tolerate the PRC’s violations of our sovereignty and intimidation of our people, just as we have not tolerated the PRC’s unfair trade practices, theft of American jobs, and other egregious behavior," he added. "President Trump insists on fairness and reciprocity in U.S.-China relations."

This response is saying China is going with tit-for-tat. I guess we see later this week:

I tried to find an article that wasn't a pro-China lede. It was not easy. Our "press" is revolting.
 

U.S. closes Chinese consulate in Houston; Beijing threatens retaliation
 

The Chinese government on Wednesday threatened retaliatory "countermeasures" after U.S. officials abruptly ordered the closure of Beijing's consulate in Houston.
 

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said the Trump administration ordered the closure in an "unprecedented escalation," and promised to "react with firm countermeasures" if the move is not rescinded.

State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus, traveling with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Denmark, said the closure was ordered "to protect American intellectual property and Americans' private information."
 

"The United States will not tolerate [China's] violations of our sovereignty and intimidation of our people, just as we have not tolerated the [its] unfair trade practices, theft of American jobs, and other egregious behavior," she said. "President Trump insists on fairness and reciprocity in U.S.-China relations."
