I didnt say we should buy them. Obviousely we need to make our own!

They are made in Europe, it's just ironic that Volvo are owned by Geely, so even if you buy a euro made car, it still benefits China. They're not stupid lol

Aah yes and the German car manufacturers get the same amount of subsidies from the government as the Chinese ones do?
