Not in the US. We have a captive market that keeps us from ever seeing one.

An SUV for that price... In sure Chinese sweatshop factory workers are paid fairly and work in safe conditions and get regular breaks, vacations, aock leave, etc... Right?
Because if not, you'd be buying products from slavery yet somehow I don't see that argument very much
Not denying sweatshops over there, but it's highly likely these are mostly built by robots in empty buildings.
Yeah. Watched a factory tour and assembly for sany equipment. Excavators and such. There's people involved. But the facilities are clean automated and far from sweat shop looking. They make damn good equipment. I used to think it's junk. Then I had to fix a couple. Impressive stuff from those guys.

Yeah great, I'll pass on the CCP/PLA owned automobile companies.
Thankfully in the US we won't get the choice because they're not allowed to sell here to protect our domestic producers from competition so we can just give them more money the next time they need to be bailed out.
They pretty much do the same in China. Tesla I believe is or was the only foreign manufacturer allowed to own their Chinese business. Everyone else had to set up a Chinese subsidiary majority owned by a Chinese automaker.
Nothing stopping Xiaomi from doing the same with Ford or GM in the US as far as I know?

They’ll be banned faster than you can memorize the spelling of Xiaomi. At least in the US, where we make sure the old inefficient companies stay afloat despite their incompetence.

Claps to some of the people here thinking Mainland China is "perfection".
