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the closure in an "unprecedented escalation," and promised to "react with firm countermeasures" if the move is not rescinded.
 

</snip>
 

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."

Umm, newsflash, EVERY consulate is a massive spy center.  (Glad it was closed down due to ours not being reopened, but just sayin'.)


With that in mind, can you imagine what must have been flowing through that joint?

Could be their 3rd best source of intelligence behind their facilities in DC & the Bay Area.  (May be behind Boston area as well?)  Major research in medical, aerospace, & petrochemicals at a minimum there.  (Probably IT as well.)

Quote

Four individuals have recently been charged with visa fraud in connection with a scheme to lie about their status as members of the People’s Republic of China’s military forces, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), while in the United States conducting research.  Three of these individuals have been arrested and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is seeking the fourth who is a fugitive from justice currently being harbored at the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco.

In addition to these arrests, the FBI has recently conducted additional interviews of visa holders suspected of having undeclared affiliation with the Chinese military in more than 25 American cities.

“These members of China’s People Liberation Army applied for research visas while hiding their true affiliation with the PLA,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers.  “This is another part of the Chinese Communist Party’s plan to take advantage of our open society and exploit academic institutions.  We will continue to conduct this investigation together with the FBI.”

Let someone else be a guinea pig for their vaccine.  Who knows what stuff (lead) it could contain.

China has always produced inferior products for export. I wouldn't trust them with such a important item as a vaccine. They deliberately spread Covid-19 to the rest of the world. Why would they change now?
