I’ve seen and drove Chinese cars visiting places allowing it in their markets. Brand name cars built in China are on par with American ones, as for domestic cars their quality improves really fast. Average one is on par with 1995 Huyndais today. Just a decade ago they were inferior to Lada and Yugo. Two decades ago they were worse than Ford T.
Give them another decade to outclass the Japanese.
I don’t think commie Chinese slaves will ever outengineer the notoriously perfection oriented Japanese. They can make things cheaper but, with rare exception, they can not make them better. That’s an opinion and time will tell but I think it’s very unlikely that I will ever buy a car stamped “Made in China” after the experiences I have had with everything else that wears that stamp. US landfills are overflowing with Chinese engineering.
