What's the big surprise here? the business model is pretty clear.

Sell something real cheap, grab the money and run.

Communist China doesn't strike me as a country with a high regard for human life.

Buying a $2.00 Chinese umbrella that might last you a week before being blown inside out in a light wind is one thing, but a Chinese automobile with the crash integrity of paper mache is quite another.

For safety's sake, I would rather take my chances with a 1966 Buick Electra 225, a battered but unbowed used American car, than with the very best offered by Communist China.
