#11 Re: ChinaV's new Yingang YG250NF (YG250-6)

Is there a replacement for the farmers riding wrecks of bikes worth a good few weeks of their wages? Is there a replacement for the many relying on Ebikes? They would all rather have a car or a truck I am sure.
But how can they do that? Go to USA or France or UK for a job such as you have in their country? Can they do that easily and then save enough for a car and all the petrol and maintenance for years? Would the infrastructure support it?
They have a culture of billions of people been evolving for thousands of years and are forced by our military and financial aggression to look outwards. We sell them the ideas of expansion and growth and see them as a market from which we, including those of us working there, profit. They become aware and reciprocate and want a small part of what the poorest people in most of our societies have - communications, transport, health systems, entertainment, possesions ... maybe freedom. And they do not have the regulated systems and bureaucracies we have and have grown up with to teach them how to drive, behave in this new world.
Don't blame any of them, that is ignorant and self-centred I believe. Of course they have fools and arrogant people and want to take what they can, and they are not all altruistic or unbiased or even friendly. They don't have to be. It is their ground not yours. Be real.
It is not as if our society is perfect even in the matter of road rules and compliance. The 'rich' west ride arrogantly around in empty SUVs or in unnecessary fuel guzzlers and muscle cars, the 'normal man' drinks or his kid smokes crack and drives and kills innocent folk. And accidents happen too. Kids run out of school yards, tyres blow, brakes fail, tired mothers back into the street, truck drivers work long shifts. There is no difference. Why the fuck do you think you should escape the simple consequences of daily life all over the planet and why shouldn't you play to their rules in their game?Kinlon R/T KBR JL200GY-2
