Ok here's my view on it.

China is a big growing economy.One of the few in the world that is powering ahead.

Yeah if they wanted to they could put a stop to Jincheng racing but really what are there chances of taking a podium place?What are there chances of even finishing the event?

I think there happy seeing China taking part.Jincheng if it starts getting competitive things would probally change buts thats a long way off.

What are the chances of a Chinese made Motorcycle finishing the rally even the Chinese have worked that out.It's a huge difference from the Taklimakan rally.

It's the pinacale of rally raids.

Plus if they where asked "isn't that a Yamaha" they would probally say no we took the yamaha as a base and refined it into what we thought was a true motorcycle a Jincheng.

The Chinese don't like loosing face.
