Nope they put out a quality product Shi Xinbo even said so.

Want to know how this works?

We can all thank the ISO 9000 BS.

How do you define quality? Well in ISO 9000 a Quality Product is one that meets it’s engineering specifications.

Did ya Catch that?

So it’s tire’s are a quality product. See. So when something don’t work right you use the volume of words in the ISO chapters to blame some low level worker. Then claim to have fixed the problem by terminating ( in this case literally) the worker.

And who runs the ISO standard? The French.

You got that right. The amusing thing is that for a while, Chinese restaurants (in China) were putting up banners claiming that they were ISO 9000 compliant, whatever that meant. And you know what? I still got the runs from eating there. I've since learned to take Chinese product claims with a healthy dose of salt.
