What reputation?

They don’t have a good reputation for safety…

The cheapest BYD car is roughly €7500 to buy in China and to be able to sell the same car in the EU, it’s €15000. The main reason for the extra cost is to make it meet EU safety regulations

Just because they don’t have the same safety rules as the west doesn’t mean it’s not safe or a bad reputation for safety. Their cars aren’t breaking down, their bridges aren’t falling dipshit

Every time you see some video on here of something failing due to shit safety, it’s normally somewhere in China. I’m just going off what I see and what I read, rather than just blindly arguing

I’ve never seen that here. I’ve never heard of things failing in China. I think you’re talking out your ass
