if we all stop buying these bikes, then possibly they will change a little bit their mentality.
but actually chinese automobile manufacturer can easily catch up the latest tech by merge and acquisition. check out those latest actions. So hen you have fat cash on your hands, nothing is too far. Of course you have to play smartly.
Oh yeah, so true. I worry that they'll never catch up in terms of bikes, only cars, only manufacturing. They'll buy-out all these struggling foreign brands that will become their design car houses and logo suppliers, in this they'll probably succeed just because of their obsessive love of cars. I wonder is it possible to succeed in the bike industry if you don't love bikes and only money? I worry long term they'll fail when the RMB hits it's true value and their exports aren't very competitively priced or very good, then they'll ban all internal combustion bikes when they throw their pacifier out the stroller.
