Reply to "Back on the “Soap Box” !"

A story that was related to me at a training session at work.
As you know all of the American auto companies are building vehicles in China. GM was coming out with a small car for that market I believe it was called the "QQ" to be sold for $8400.
Just prior to its launch another automaker came out with a car called the "Cherie", for $6400.
Yo and behold it was identical to the QQ, I mean identical to the QQ.
GM took the competing auto company to the Chinese court system. The judges who were hearing the case looked at the two cars and decidied that the two cars "dont look the same to me" BOOM down came the gavel.
The Chinese government has a major stake in all companies that build and do business in that country. Thats how they were able to get the plans for the QQ and let the other car manufactuer build it.
Nice huh??
