This will be a vote against competition.

Similar to America, Europe is also artificially trying to make consumers choose native cars, by making Chinese ones more expensive.

    I’m shocked people are actually demanding cheap Chinese stuff…has the current market and the last decade not been enough proof that cheaply made things are horrid for you wallet…

      The last decade has shown that all the fancy stuff is just cheap sweat shop stuff in disguise.

      Cheap stuff is often the same as expensive stuff without the markup.

      Shit, often cheap stuff is outright better.

        Agreed.

        Expensive products are far from any guarantee of good quality. Cookers are a good example. The expensive ones invariably have identical components to the cheaper models such as the energy regulators or thermocouples.
