No. It’s cheap material, cheap labor, concessions on everything.
Actually the materials and quality are comparable to what you get from Western automakers, the difference in labor price is because Western countries keep their currencies strong in order to import things from countries like China where the currency is weak. Changing that dynamic would threaten the entire system of unequal exchange that benefits Western nations.
No but I think they’re the cheapest. It’d be a good start. At this point any alternative would be I guess
