It will only take a couple product cycles for these cars to at least match the current Kia's and Hyundai's.  They will be laughed at for the next decade but could easily surpass Japanese automakers if China mimics the Japanese business and design models of 20 years ago.  That is if they don't start using mercury lined air filters and lead lined air bags.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[graviton]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2008 9:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</guid><description><![CDATA[I disagree with your assessment because China has been mimicking the Japanese industries for some time now, and they have not accomplished your stated goal in any industry. I don't understand why, or maybe you can explain, that you think the Chinese will do in a couple of years what Koreans couldn't in a decade.<br><br>I been doing business in China for many years, and I love visiting there and love the people. However, I just don't see them being able to overtake the Japanese in 2 years. Mainly because most if not all of Chinese technology is either stole or taken from someone else. Their industries lack innovation.<br><br>Their greatest resource is obviously the enormous manufacturing capacity. There is an uncertainty on how the Chinese government will react when more of their citizens demand more freedom and rights. We can't ignore the sheer brutality of their policies. It’s hard to predict the future of a government that will murder or imprison a citizen for merely speaking or writing critical remarks.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shawn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2008 9:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</guid><description><![CDATA[Shawn: There is a difference between "a couple product cycles" and "a couple of years".

They can probably price the car below anything else. However, Japanese didn't succeed by that. Japanese products are known for quality and innovation. Those are the 2 things the Chinese products do not have.<br><br>I don't see the Chinese catching up with the Japanese for two reasons: First, Japanese aren't sitting around waiting for others to catch up. They work just as hard or even harder. Second, Chinese industries will be limited by their system of government. Social change will be happen when more people have higher standard of living...Chinese people will demand freedom and rights. I just don't see how the people in power will let that happen. We are not dealing with a government where people are free to think, speak or even breed according to their will. If you have ever done business in China you know the restriction and brutality for which they deal with any critic. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shawn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2008 1:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</guid><description><![CDATA[Shawn<br>Disgree with your dogma:<br><br>"most if not all of Chinese technology is either stole or taken from someone else"<br><br>History/future proved /will prove you were/are wrong.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GSP]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2008 3:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</guid><description><![CDATA[To Shawn:<br><br>你的有些观点使你有点像“井底之蛙”。因为你“只见树木、不见森林”，还有些“骄傲自满”，一点儿都不懂得“居安思危“，更不懂得“风水轮流转“、“三十年河东，三十年河西”。那咱们就“骑驴看唱本--走着瞧“！]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GSP]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2008 11:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</guid><description><![CDATA[GSP: If you think you have a valid point, feel free to share it in English.

Tata is a large, well managed conglomerate. Turning the traditional model on it's head, the Indians will be telling Jaguar and Land Rover how to run the company while the product is manufactured in England. Tata wants to get into the global automotive business, and purchasing two well-known brands avoids having to build a name from zero. I honestly think that Tata will be very successful. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan Roth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2008 12:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/chery-to-delay-exports-to-europe/</guid><description><![CDATA["According to suppliers, Chery has pushed back production so they can revamp the interior design.
