Why are the manuals in Russian??

[jackmeister]

[sonick]

Why are the manuals in Russian??

Umm, coz the assembly line workers are eastern European who probably speaks/reads Russian?

[GabAlmighty]

Good thread

[optiblue]

hand built! Driving a chinese built car has the same safety level as riding a motorcycle if not worse!

[StylinRed]

wow the chinese dont even trust the chinese to assemble cars

[swfk]

I was on the phone with my gf and I told her I was on RS and on this thread, she said "Are they made of cardboard?"

i was expecting something like that ;)

[Lomac]

Why do I get the impression that the people in this video are more or less simply actors and represent very little as to how these vehicles are actually built...

[Mr.HappySilp]

wow the chinese dont even trust the chinese to assemble cars

LOL and here we are having our iPhones, computers, TV, microwave all build by Chinese in China :accepted::accepted::accepted:

[wasabisashimi]

what is this KGB shit

[zz]

the music and camera makes car assembly that much epic......yeah right.

[falcon]

I hate to say it but that's actually not a bad looking car.

And really, guys... how the hell do you think every other car is made? Robots can't do everything. And it's likely they built this one car with the cameras to show the assembly process. IIRC Great Wall is one of the largest car manufacturers in China.

[xilley]

if i could find the link id post it, the show process of porsche,ferrari, and maybach building, i watched in Asia was fricking entertaining

[LancerBoy]

They told the rest of the plant workers to take a smoke break, so they can film foreign workers assembling to make the video more international. Typical Chinese tactic, like how they hired foreign actors to play CEO's. :whistle:

[J____]

99.9% these workers in the video are actors. Actually, make that 100%. China companies do this a lot, hire foreigners to pretend to be a part of their employment force to make their brand seem more international therefore more desirable to others in china. It's a marketing ploy that feeds of the Chinese mentality that everything foreign must be better.

4:25 for a split second there, I thought it was a BMW 1M lol

[too_slow]

We get it OP, you don't like Chinese people. Now go DIAF

This is very common.

Chinese executives know that Chinese people are not very trustworthy.
When I was in Japan, I saw some TV show and that's what Chinese business people said.
They would rather do business with Japanese people (that's why they're in Japan) or someone who isn't Chinese.

Also I know they're from Hong Kong, but if you look at Cathay Pacific, most of their pilots are non-Chinese.

[frostycc]

Ignorant much? Cathay Pacific is owned by the Swire Group. A BRITISH conglomerate.

Cathay Pacific was formed when Hong Kong was still a BRITISH colony.

Their pilots have traditionally been British dating back to the start of the 20th century.

Given that they are based in Hong Kong, it makes sense to hire from the local populace for customer service roles (i.e flight attendants)

But for pilots, they obviously source it from U.K expats given the sense of tradition. Call it a gentlemen's club or whatever.
