It’s different when it’s a foreign company building their, but to their own standards to export vs Chinese brand for Chinese market.

They make ‘‘em cheap cheap cheap. But for good reason. People have to be able to afford them in China.
Way to retroactively change the assertion from Chinese cars to Chinese cars sold in China. Don't think it wasn't obvious.

That poorly-sourced opinion piece is no match to the facts that Chinese cars are good and they're coming here:

The assertion was “Chinese brand.”

The response referenced other non-Chinese brand vehicles built in China.

You changed the assertion before I did.

I do think this sentence of yours “the facts that Chinese cars are good,” is hilarious though!

Where did you pull that “fact” from?

Ah. They might not even have Paak. Someone's head should roll at Ford for releasing a half baked POS with only one fob. Ok I'll stop whining now.
PaaK is standard on all Mach-E's for the Chinese market.

I wonder if the Chinese factory will be supplying all of Ford's Asian demand or if there will be another factory to supply other regions of Asia. Also wondering about South American demand... ?‍♂?

Polestar immediately comes to mind. NIO too.

Geeley makes many cars there that are also common in Europe.

They're coming here soon.
I wouldn't lump Polestar in as they are driven out of Sweden (started as a Volvo tuning house) and simply manufacture in China for all markets.

For Geeley, the China market cars are usually fairly different under the skin (as well with all foreign manufacturers building in China for China). It becomes a China specific supply chain.
