It seems stealing becomes confused into copying. It seems acceptable and promoted by their government. Plus the products are being made & shipped & retailed for the cost of the raw materials. I suspect that house of cards will collapse at some point.

And just how many poor saps are going to get duped a couple years later in the used market? If the things last that long!

Wouldn't it be ironic if they used mostly western made parts? And the Chinese guys who bought them complained about all the crappy foreign parts?

I crack myself up sometimes. Lololololololololololol

Default It really is sadly ironic

that the oldest civilization on the planet, with some of the most important discoveries ever, haven't had an original thought in over a century. The only thing the chinese know to do now is replicate stuff from ideas they steal, and then resell them.
A recent article in Canada Cycle magazine tells us that in China alone, 5 out of 6 Yamaha's aren't even Yamaha's at all. BMW found cheap copies of their F650 as well, after opening an assembly plant there. Cheap copies of mini bikes and scooters are all over the place, so it comes as no surprise to me that they have copied the Harley. Their leaders benefit so greatly from bribes and other forms of monetary ways that they have absolutely no incentive to enforce patent rights or any other IPR's.

i think you may be right....

folks, this is from the page itself:

No, everything in the postilion is, is satire and thus together lied brazenly. All emerging characters are fictional, Any resemblance to actual persons are purely coincidental. That should be obvious, although many comments point out that much is taken here at face value.
