I would think the built quality will pretty much like when the Koreans first started. If the Chinese learn from the Koreans and Japanese mistakes, they may not repeat the Yugo episode.

They Yugo was a disater becasue they tried to build a Fiat ( think it was a 127) that was junk when Fiat built them. Only took a piece of junk and built it with a substandard workforce with substandard materials.
That thing was an early term miscarriage somebody tried to bring to term in their back pocket.
