Over half of the daily things we use are made in china, so I'm not surpries. Before we know it all cars will be made in china, then we'll carry on with our short lives, while crusing down the street in a BAIC C60 or Lifan 320. I wonder if there is a Lifan 320 S with turbo??

Wow, truly sad.. This is one of the immeasurable things China is stealing from countries/people around the world.. IP (intellectual property). If I could steal others' technology and integrate it into my own, that's a huge competitive advantage.
Such a shame everyone's too chicken shit to do anything about this. Especially here in the US, we've grown so dependent on cheap Chinese labor and their manufacturing/products. It will catch up with us eventually though, and not for the better..

I am surprised that didn't make a mashed up car. And at least when Japan was doing this kind of stuff they attached a digital clock. =)
I recently went to an Architecture lecture where by law they had to visit many Chinese manufactures who would build parts of the building and rate the quality of work. Some of the pictures he was showing in the presentation not only made everyone laugh, but showed me just how scary what qualifies for a factory there.
Think of instead of a CNC machine they would project an autocad drawing onto a piece of metal on a wall and then cut with hand saw. I would love to see all these cars goes into a crash test.

Some of it might have to do with traditional Confucian thought. When it comes to art, the best stuff is that which most faithfully imitates the master works of the past. There is much less emphasis placed on creativity and the intellectual rights of a creator
If you're in China, you'll see much of their art is 'old' - it's because there is much value replication of 'good' pieces. Similarly, sstudents are praised for their ability to replicate as closely as possible what a master artist has done in the past.
what do we say? "Imitation is the highest form of flattery." And if we look at clothing styles, it's the same. A few years ago, big sunglasses became popular for women - now every major brand carries a version, no?
I'm not saying it's good or right, simply that many do it, and it's part of Chinese culture as well.

Yes, they are still laughable for many reasons, but give it another 5 year and the Japanese, Koreans, & domestics are going to have a problem on their hands.
