This is exactly my point. They might make something that looks good comparable to anywhere else, but the quality is trash and can easily be dangerous. They care even less then 'the west'.

The downvotes on my comments I'm assuming are paid actors to push some agenda that China cars are good when the reality is the literal opposite.

People aren't dumb, they know China's shit standards.

That’s close minded as hell. I don’t know enough to disagree with you about this, but suggesting that anyone who disagrees is a paid actor is wild. Lots of people are car fans and have emotional attachments to cars. Downvoting because someone really likes a specific Chinese car seems significantly more likely.
