Those droptail trailers at the Shanghai HD dealer look the same as the ones at the Beijing HD dealer, although the ones at the Beijing dealer are Chinese-made knock-offs (at least they were last year - maybe they have some "genuine" USA-made ones now). The price in Beijing was about 20K, last year, and they were selling a lot of them.
TP-China (Shanghai & Beijing) stocks imported Kendon trailers, which are almost identical to the droptails and the knock-offs, with prices around 22K (last year). TP-China also sells a lot of them.
I have a Kendon stand-up back home and although it is nice, I find the Aluma is just a bit better. The Kendon doesn't have the spin around pick-up loading capability.
But if one needs a stand-up, the Kendon model is superior to the Aluma, although the Kendon is a bit heavy and, truthfully, a 2-person job pushing it around in stand-up mode.
I also have an Aluma enclosed car carrier and. like the motorcycle trailer, the fit & finish quality is very good. It's a 25 footer, so when it is not hauling classic cars to/from shows/auctions, it can be used as an ATV/UTV hauler and/or a mini-storage for bikes.
By the way, don't pickups require a different class of driving license in China? My foggy long-term memory seems to recall that C1 is only for passenger cars, and some other class is for light trucks. I remember hearing that those larger JinBei vans require a different classification, when I was once looking at buying one. There is probably something in the driving license rules about trailers, too.

I can remember that people just use planks to push the bike onto the bed of the truck. Mind you, this are medium size trucks and not pick ups or utes as we called them.
