So I bought a new motorbike in Huizhou last week (even got it plated).... and stripping it down for modification I found a serious "only in China" feature :)

Okay so the bike is "Guo III" with all the fancy emission control crap.... let's take a look at that system for a second:

Everything looks legit, it has that S.A.I crap all hooked up.. evaporation control system... lots of hoses and little tubes, boxes and such....

Since I'm going to replace the engine with a 250 anyway, I decided to strip out the crap and have a play with the engine... so when removing the first hose I was rather surprised :)

I literally facepalmed... then checked out the rest, yes... just empty outer casings, nothing inside....

Score one for the 5RMB savings they made on the manufacture of this bike hehe... and score one for people like me who don't like all that extra environment saving crap either. Score nil for common sense and Guo III inspectors :)
