Companies in China regularly cut corners. I don't think they are actively trying to kill me, I never said that. I said I don't trust that they are made as they say they are. I don't trust that the vehicle I buy is the same as the one that was tested by encap, or was sent to the regulators to ensure it complied.

This is not because I'm racist, or hate Chinese people, or anything. This is from experience, but personal and historical, about the culture of corner cutting, cheating, lying and bribery, that is normalized in China.

To be very clear, I have lived and worked in China. I am not just talking out of my ass.

Companies in China regularly cut corners.

You mean the people who work in those companies right?

I don’t think they are actively trying to kill me, I never said that. I said I don’t trust that they are made as they say they are.

But if they are cutting corners they are actively trying to kill you.

I don’t trust that the vehicle I buy is the same as the one that was tested by encap, or was sent to the regulators to ensure it complied.

So what you are saying is that they people who built this car were actively trying to kill anybody who drove the car.

Well yes, I suppose it is the workers and management who are cutting corners. What's your point?

But if they are cutting corners they are actively trying to kill you.

No, they are trying to save a buck. They might not care about the consequences, or they might think it will all be fine, or something else. They aren't sitting around, rubbing their hands with glee and laughing about how many kiwis they will kill.

So what you are saying is that they people who built this car were actively trying to kill anybody who drove the car.

Again, no.

Let me give you an example. There was a scandal in 2008 where a company manufacturing baby formula was adding chemicals so that lab tests would show it had higher protein count. The chemical led to kidney damage in infants, with over 50,000 being hospitalized.

Do I think that company was trying to kill kids? No. They were trying to make more money, damn the consequences.

So you hate all the people who work in all the companies in China.

No, they are trying to save a buck. T

No they are trying to kill you. They know they are going to kill every person who buys a chinese car. You said it yourself. Chinese cars are not safe because people who work in Chinese companies are building cars that will kill the people who buy them.

They aren’t sitting around, rubbing their hands with glee and laughing about how many kiwis they will kill.

Of course not. They sell cars all over the world and are going to kill every person who buys a chinese car anywhere in the world.

So yes then. The people who work in all chinese companies are just like these people and all products made in china are just like this baby formula. All chinese products will kill or make people sick because chinese people who work in those companies want to kill the people who buy those products right?

You continue being an idiot.
