Lived and worked in Shanghai for 18 months (2009/11)overseeing the Construction of LNG Gas Carriers (ships) they were costing £210 million a ship. The build quality was that poor Llyods of London refused to insure them.
Sorry but the Chinese just do not do quality. The first load port refused to have them back again for six months until they came up to standard. The engine room was a death trap. It is only a matter of time before one of those ships has a major accident.
If we raised a complaint about an item of machinery installation nothing was done about. One of the Lloyds surveyors refused to pass an item. He was flown home with many injuries resulting from getting a good kicking. THe ships were eventually insured by ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) they will insure anything.
Anyway the post was about the BMW look alike Fazer not some Chinese copy of something else, because Simon that is all the Chinese do is COPY and us poor quality materails, how cold does it get in Vietnam/Thailand, bet there is not a lot of salt on the roads out there.
