#Buy Used Toyota Cars From Japan

[seat-safety-switch]

Big trend in America right now. Huge, huge trend. Buying broken cars from Japan, and registering them in the States. Of course, we here in Canada have been doing this for years, ever since those cars turned fifteen and became legal for import. Australians, Kiwis? Even longer than that, they just reach out and pluck Skylines off the vine like tomatoes. Together, we depleted the inventory of old cars, crashed ‘em, cut them up, you name it. Now there’s not very many left, and the Americans are responding to it by forking over six-figure cheques for a 240SX with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

This was really funny, right up until I realized that the purchase price of a 1985 Subaru Leone at the Japanese used-car auctions would now go from about $600 to nearly $800. I don’t have that kind of money, and even if I did, I wouldn’t have enough left over after shipping to slam in some un-bent pushrods and a nitrous system. Panicking, I did consider buying some freshly-legalized cars a decade ahead of the Americans, but those too are expensive, bought for thousands of dollars and hoarded in warehouses in Saitama. Ridiculous!

There was just one thing to do. The cheapest way to get these cars would be to move to Japan, where I could conceivably “import” brand new cars, right off the dealer lot. So I ordered a refrigerator from Amazon Japan, stuck myself in the box, and then filled out a return authorization form. Soon, I was off to the Home Islands, entirely on Uncle Jeff’s dime. Sure, it wasn’t a particularly comfortable ride, but I was warmed on that bumpy old cargo ship and jostly old forklift at the docks by the knowledge that I would soon be getting a great deal on a Suzuki Lapin.

As I stepped foot into the dealership, I suddenly realized what I was doing. A new car? Buying one? For money? The salespeople, unaccustomed to seeing a man who had spent the last three months reading a dog-eared copy of a late-1992 edition of Road & Track Magazine while stuck in a refrigerator box without food or water, called the police, and I was summarily deported.

It wasn’t all bad, though. The pigs were driving a five-year-old Toyota Crown. I told them to let me know when the department got rid of it; the puke-proof rear seats seemed like the perfect place to put a leaking transmission from the Pick & Pull.

SUZU-KAHE-KI?

Hirotaka thought of fulfilling his long-standing dream which was Kizashi. Suzuki has been showcasing a concept car named Kizashi in different motor shows for a long time.

The concept 1 of Kizashi was showcased in 2007. Then again concept 2 was shown in 2007.

And then in 2008, the Kizashi Concept 3 was shown at the New York International Auto Show.

 In 2011, Maruti Suzuki aimed for the stars with the Kizashi. This sleek, sporty sedan promised European handling, punchy power, and a shift towards a premium image. The car itself was a technical marvel, with a responsive engine and sharp dynamics. But despite its brilliance, the Kizashi's Indian journey was tragically short-lived, selling a mere 5,000 units. 

Secondly, Suzuki's brand image in India was at odds with the Kizashi's aspirations. 

 Buyers associated Suzuki with affordable, fuel-efficient cars, not sporty sedans. The Kizashi's premium positioning felt like a disconnect, leaving potential buyers confused. Finally, the lack of a crucial diesel engine option, essential for fuel economy in India, dealt the final blow.

because this car got five-star ratings

in Euro NCAP and all other NCAPs. Now this car was very good but still, in 2014, Suzuki discontinued it in India and then in 2015 it completely disappeared from the world.

And after this, Suzuki never launched a proper D-segment car And as soon as the car came into the market, it proved that even a Suzuki car can be made big and powerful enough to compete with Honda and Toyota and even the Germans. This vehicle received very good ratings and within the first year of its launch, it also received two awards from Auto Pacific in America for annual vehicle satisfaction. Also, this car received two motoring awards in New Zealand in 2010 and according to Consumer Digest, it was a Best Buy car in 2011.

 The big problem with this car was people were not buying it. And this was not happening only in India but also in the US market, only 5000-6000 units were being sold annually,

in Canada, only 600-700 units were being sold and in Japan, only 3379 units

were sold from 2009 to 2015. out of which 1 quarter of the car was purchased

by Japan's national police agency alone.

 that Kizashi was one of the most powerful sedans available in India. It was Suzuki's brand image and this was the thing that Suzuki was trying to change with this vehicle.

Now, we people of India believe that Suzuki can make smaller cars only. Similarly, people all over the world also believe something similar.

 Task At Hand 

You are the CMO of Suzuki India and have decided to ‘relaunch’ the Kizashi in Indian Market.

 Deliverables:

1) PPT consisting of: -Phase-wise Implementation Plan, Product life cycle, Budget for relaunch and marketing campaign, Marketing Strategies (2 conventional & 2 unconventional), SWOT analysis.

2) Facebook, Radio & Newspaper campaigns

3) Make STP and make Competitive Analysis based on your STP

My Idea of globalization

What is globalization?

From my understanding globalization means that different countries and nations worldwide are trying to grow closer with each other by supporting each other, and how it works is by an active exchange of goods between countries and all the countries/ nations around the world are doing this, because it enables the countries that importing the products and the countries that take the imported goods to grow, they’re economy essentially like a help me help you situations. An example of this is Toyota importing their cars here in the Philippines, whenever we buy a car from Toyota it just doesn’t benefit our country by helping our economy grow but it also supports both Toyota and Japan because the more cars Toyota imports cars it enables Toyota to make more cars and also helps their home countries economy grow. But globalization isn’t only about products and economic goods but also services, knowledge, culture, and even languages.

How is culture involved in globalization?

Culture is involved in globalization because of cultural exchange, cultural exchange essentially allows the exchange of different cultural elements like food, music, fashion, art, language, and many more like traditions of different continents a few examples of this are of course Japanese food, OPM music and Chinese New Year which is a tradition in China Cultural exchange lets us explore and learn about the different traditions, food, and music of different continents in the globe.

How is Knowledge involved in globalization?

Knowledge is involved because it plays a crucial role in globalization by allowing innovation, enhancing global problem-solving, and allowing international collaboration, by allowing to exchange of knowledge across the globe it allows countries to share their expertise in different fields like technology and science and education as a whole and sharing these types of knowledge will benefit other countries that need the knowledge on how to face on major problems and how to solve them and it also gives other countries/ continents knowledge on how to grow their economy or how to sustain their economy.

Is Globalization Good?

Globalization can be both good and bad, On the positive side of globalization it promotes economic growth, innovation, cultural exchange, and international cooperation it leads nations to improve living standards and have access to global imported products/ goods but globalization also has a negative side and in the negative side it can sometimes result to inequality, cultural homogenization and negative changes in the environment like climate change and global warming due to the use of planes, ships, trucks for the use to transport imported goods are constantly increasing and because of that it causes more carbon dioxide to be released in the atmosphere so globalization can be both good and bad because globalization has its upsides and its downsides but it’s important to realize that globalization itself is neither good nor bad it depends on how people will deal with all the possibilities in the future.

My Personal Experience with Globalization

My personal experience of globalization is culture globalization where I visited Japan and learned about their culture and traditions, and when I visited Japan, I also learned about their two religion and those two religions Buddhist and Shintoist.

Conclusion In conclusion, Globalization is a way to connect every country from around the world and it’s done by doing either business importing goods to improve a country's economy, cultural exchange to learn and respect others' cultures and traditions, and sharing knowledge to create innovation and for countries to solve world problems or environmental challenges but always have the perspective that globalization will neither be good or bad because globalization will have some of its upside and downsides it just depend on how people will deal with possible challenges in the future.

Getting to know Japan

It turns out I didn’t too much about Japan - The Land of The Rising Sun.

I did know about their self imposed 200-year long international isolation until the arrival of US Commodore Perry in 1853.

I knew about their World War II involvement and preceding militarism, the atrocities perpetrated by their armies, their taking over of Korea, their invasions of China and their push to gobble up the British Empire in the east.

I knew of their economic post-World War boom, reaching unprecedented heights and their subsequent economic stagnation from the 1990’s onwards.

The pictures I had of Japan though were too coloured by TV and movies. The weather I imagined for Japan was informed by World War II movies set in the South Seas, images of cloudless, scorching days.

It turns out that Japan has twice held the Winter Olympics. I think I knew about though, somewhere in the back of my mind. 

I knew the general geographic position of Japan, off the coast of mainland Asia. I knew there were some islands involved that made up Japan.

Some of them, Honshu and Hokkaido were known to me, but not the others. 

Imagining how something is and living it are two different things.

My travels in Japan have reinforced this idea for me.

During my two months in Japan I got to see something of the country.

I went from north to south, from the northernmost of the big four islands that make up Japan, Hokkaido, to the southernmost of the big islands, Kyushu.

I got down to the island of Yakushima which is to the south of Kyushu, but unfortunately didn’t make it to Okinawa.

After my time in Japan I was made aware of their national predilections, I won’t say ‘manias’, because that’s too strong and is a touch unkind for a friendly people.

Some of the predilections of Japan are the following:

-Automation in general, but vending machines in particular.

Vending machines are absolutely everywhere. You can’t turn a corner in a city or town without passing one.

They can even be found of hillsides.

They sell soft drinks and cans of coffee (cold, ever so rarely hot) which itself is another predilection of the Japanese.

For whatever reason the sale of goods is restricted to canned drinks. Only twice did I see chocolate bars sold in these machines along with drinks.

Automation is popular, so you can pay for your meal in some restaurants from a machine, you can buy admission tickets and bus and train tickets from machines.

-'Getting there faster’. Hence the 'Bullet Train’ and super fast ferries. Not wasting time travelling or getting value for your travelling time and detailed planning also come under this category.

-Stamps. Not the philatelic kind.

I guess it goes back to the days when orders and official documents would be 'sealed’ with someone's personal seal to prove their authenticity.

If you go to a bank, the teller puts their stamp on the receipt, sometimes this happens in stores too.

In stationery stores you can chose from racks and racks of stamps.

-Bicycles. This really took me by surprise. I never knew about it. Bicycles are everywhere in Japan and everybody uses them.

You see schoolkids on them, mothers with kids in seats on the back, businessmen, old ladies, everybody uses a bike in Japan, it seems.

-Small cars and vans. Of course they’re Japanese cars and vans. And there are so many to chose from, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, Dihatsu, Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Isuzu. 

-Bowing. This speaks for itself.

-Convenience Stores. There are about 5 chains that are almost as ubiquitous as vending machines. Family Mart, Lawson, 7-Eleven, Sunkus, Ministop and many more.

It’s common for staff to welcome you to the store by shouting out and then to shout out a 'thank you for calling’ goodbye.

Even if they’re at the other end of the shop they’ll shout out some greeting when they hear the buzzer or bell that goes off when a customer has entered or left the shop.

This gets annoying after a while and you can be nearly deafened if you get too close to them.

-All things Disney. From a theme park in Tokyo to clothing and fashion accessories to a mobile phone network.

It’s baffling how popular the mouse is in Japan.

-Smoking rooms. These are to be found in many places from fast food restaurants to trains.

-Gloves. On men and women. Bus drivers and taxi drivers invariably wear white gloves.

Bus drivers also invariably wear hats as well.

Taxi drivers sometimes wear dickie bows and black suits.

So you can get the impression that a whole concert orchestra is moonlighting as taxi drivers. 

-Face masks.

Vehicle Light Weighting Technologies Market Will See Strong Expansion Through 2032

Vehicle lightweighting is an idea in the automobile business about structure vehicles and trucks that are less heavy as an approach to accomplish better fuel efficiency and handling. Carmakers make parts from carbon fiber, windshields from plastic, and bumpers out of aluminum foam, as approaches to reduce vehicle load. The use of these materials is selected based on their price, lightweight ability, ultimately, processing or consumption limitations. Advanced lightweight technologies help to improve automotive fuel consumption and guarantee safety and performance. The usage of lightweight materials reduces emissions by nearly 0.08g CO2/Kg, as with the launching of battery electric vehicles, which boosts the application of lightweight technology in automotive systems. The adoption of electric vehicles is one of the examples of light weight technologies as the parts and system of these vehicles are considerably less than other vehicles.

Download Sample Report at: https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/request-toc-and-sample/A08605

The automotive industry has seen critical changes in material and manufacturing processes in the previous decade to conform to the outflow orders. Rules have constrained automakers to discover various options, for example, lightweight materials, improved proficiency in powertrain, and utilization of pure battery electric vehicles. Subsequently, it is simple for lightweight materials to compete in cost when compared with powertrain productivity measures and regulations. Advancements of reinforced and high-quality plastic for its use as windshield and window glass are evaluated to build the lightweight business sector of plastics. The high cost of materials, for example, carbon fibre-strengthened composites, titanium, and magnesium hinder the broad utilization of these materials. As crude materials have a high cost, OEMs in developing nations, who rely more upon economy passenger vehicles prefer to use materials than lightweight materials. However, the utilization of lightweight materials is expected to increase gradually in the coming years. The manufacturing cost of vehicle parts is higher than conventional materials. Along these, high procedure costs can control the development of the car lightweight material market.

Novelis Inc. announced that it is providing the fusion of Toyota Motor Corporation with a premium aluminum car body sheet for the all-new Toyota RAV4. The RAV4 is Toyota's number-one-selling vehicle and the top-rated non-pickup truck in the nation. With an as-good-as-ever plan that includes Novelis aluminum in the hood, bumpers, and liftgate, the fifth-age model of the RAV4 is 4% lighter than previous models.

Exclusive: GM snatches key Tesla gigacasting supplier

 If you can't beat them, buy them.

For years, a little-known company called Tooling & Equipment International (TEI) has helped Tesla (TSLA.O) push back the frontiers of "gigacasting", the process it pioneered to cast large body parts for cars in one piece to save time and money.

Until 2023, that is. TEI is now part of General Motors (GM.N) after agreeing a deal that may have flown under the radar but is a key part of the U.S. automaker's strategy to make up ground on Tesla, four people familiar with the transaction said.

By snapping up a specialist in sand casting techniques that accelerated the development of Tesla's gigacasting molds and allowed it to cast more complex components, GM has jump-started its own push to make cars more cheaply and efficiently at a time when Tesla is racing to roll out a $25,000 EV, the people said.

With TEI gone, Tesla is leaning more heavily on three other casting specialists it has used in Britain, Germany and Japan to develop the huge molds needed for the millions of cheaper EVs it plans to make in the coming decade, the four people said.

At the same time, Tesla is scrambling to find another sand casting specialist to fill the role TEI performed, or even develop such crucial expertise in-house to cut its reliance on outside suppliers, the people said.

"General Motors acquired Tooling & Equipment International (TEI) to bolster its portfolio of innovations and secure access to unique casting technology," GM said in a statement to Reuters in response to questions for this story.

Tesla and TEI President Oliver Johnson did not respond to requests for comment.

Like GM, a host of automakers from Ford F.N to Hyundai (005380.KS) to Toyota (7203.T) are trying to ape Tesla's gigacasting know-how to match its design and manufacturing efficiency and avoid being undercut on the showroom floor.

Gigacasting is core to Tesla's "unboxed" manufacturing strategy unveiled by Chief Executive Elon Musk in March, which he hopes will slash the assembly costs of the next generation of cars by half.

The strategy hinges on producing the structural platform and subframes of a car in one piece using gigacasting and then snapping it together at the end with the other parts of the vehicle being made in parallel.

That gigacasting know-how, which uses casts made out of industrial sand with 3D printing, has been made possible in part by TEI along with the three other suppliers Tesla has been using.

CELESTIQ CASTINGS

Reuters has reported that the work of these four firms has been a key reason why Tesla can now develop a car from the ground up in 18 to 24 months, and do so economically, while most rivals can currently take anywhere from three to four years.

The specialists use sand casting in a process called rapid prototyping to help validate Tesla's designs and engineering specifications for its giant molds quickly and cheaply.

According to all four sources, TEI began helping Tesla around 2017 to develop the Model Y and is considered in the industry to be one of the world's top sand casting specialists.

Since then, TEI has been involved in gigacasting mold prototyping for Tesla's Model 3, Cybertruck and its heavy-duty Semi truck, according to two of the sources.

When TEI's Johnson put the company up for sale last year, GM would have had a good idea about what gigacasting know-how it might get its hands on.

GM's realization, the four sources said, certainly came when it conducted due diligence and was probably well before that as it had turned to TEI around 2021 to test and produce some underbody castings for its luxury $340,000 Cadillac Celestiq EV, which is due to hit showrooms next year.

As part of that program, GM signed a guaranteed, long-term contact and TEI invested in a new dedicated production line for the Celestiq at its base in Livonia, a 25-minute drive from GM's Detroit headquarters, one of the sources said.

"Bringing TEI into the GM enterprise builds on decades of the company's own casting experience and provides a competitive advantage with strategic castings for future low volume products like the Cadillac Celestiq," GM said in its statement.

TEI won the 2023 Casting of the Year award from the American Foundry Society for those Celestiq castings.

It formally became part of GM's Global Manufacturing division, which oversees all of GM's automobile and parts manufacturing operations, on July 1, according to one of the sources with direct knowledge.

"TEI will remain its own business entity with GM as its parent company," GM said.

Two of the sources with direct knowledge said GM paid less than $100 million for TEI, with one of them estimating it paid $80 million at the most. Reuters was unable to determine whether Tesla was one of the several companies that bid for TEI.

FRONT ROW SEAT

While Tesla has leapt ahead of rivals when it comes to manufacturing techniques, and appears to be putting more distance between it and the rest of the auto industry, the TEI deal has given GM a front row view of how Tesla honed its gigacasting expertise.

TEI and others make test molds out of industrial sand. Using a digital design file, 3D printers known as binder jets build a sand mold that can cast molten alloys.

Among key benefits of this method are that a sand mold can be printed quickly, and then reprinted multiple times at a minimal cost to tweak and adjust mold designs.

TEI and the three other specialists have been particularly important for Tesla in coming up with new alloys to be used in sand casts, as well as techniques for heat-treating the large metal body parts once they've been molded to improve their quality, Reuters has reported.

James Womack, a former research director at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, believes Musk's new manufacturing initiatives have come as a shock to the legacy auto industry "shaking up everyone else".

"It even woke up Toyota - the industry's current very best in manufacturing - to embrace gigacasting and other innovations from Tesla," said Womack, co-author of "The Machine That Changed The World", the 1990 book about Toyota's lean production system.

Womack believes the competition to achieve even greater efficiency is far from over.

"Gigacasting and unboxed are worthy of experiments, but cutting edge endeavors almost always take more time than initially projected to reach maturity and some experiments will fail," said Womack.

Why Consider Buying A Used Nissan Sentra Sedan

If you're in the market for an affordable, reliable sedan for sale - a used Nissan Sentra is one of your best choices.

The search for a car that's affordable, and can take you from point A to point B with little to no hassle seems much more simple than meets the eye. There's a plethora of cars to choose from, but sometimes you do get what you pay for. Take for example some tempting everyday cars that may bankrupt you in the long run, but then again, there are some surprisingly cheap-to-maintain sports cars for sale too.

Nonetheless, as a whole, there are only a handful of carmakers you can always count on to deliver well-priced, near-bulletproof cars. More often than not they're from Japan. That said, there are a few brands to choose from like Toyota and Honda, but today we're going to dissect one of the overlooked brands, Nissan – in particular their mid-sized sedan called the Nissan Sentra.

Thus far, there have been eight different generations of the Sentra, but no matter which one you go for, it's almost impossible to go wrong with one of these. So let's have a look at why you should consider picking up a used Sentra, no matter the generation.

The Nissan Sentra Is Practical

Back in the day, the Sentra used to be a sub-compact sedan, but as time moved along, and all vehicles grew in size, the Sentra did too. So, in 1999, the Sentra transformed into a compact car.

Just because it's compact doesn't mean it's small, though. The Sentra can house up to five people, and whilst the rear passengers might not be sublimely comfortable on long trips, the Sentra performs rather well on short trips. Not to mention its trunk has around 110 cubic feet of space, and its front-wheel-drive system makes it viable all year round.

A Used Nissan Sentra Affordable

The cheapest Nissan Sentra currently listed on CarGurus is a 2008 model with more than 300,000 kilometres on the clock. Despite its alarming price tag, it has a clean title and still drives. We're only saying this to give you an introduction to how cheap these cars can be.

If you'd like a well-maintained modern Sentra, you can still snatch one up for a pretty penny. Take for instance this 2020 Nissan Sentra SV. It has a preppy little 150-hp four-cylinder and is still under warranty hence its 65,000 km odometer reading. What an absolute bargain.

A Used Nissan Sentra Is Relatively Reliable

There has been one blaring issue with all Sentras in the past, and that's their automatic gearboxes called CVT transmissions. Other than that, the Sentra makes out to be a reliable car with only a few model years to avoid.

JD Power backs this statement since they have the 2022 Nissan Sentra a staggering 85/100 reliability score. Sure, it might be a tad unfair to base previous models' reliability on a brand new one, but for the most part, any Sentra will last you up to 200,000 with proper care.

There Are Many Engine Options To Choose From

Throughout the Sentra's 40-year lifespan, there were an endless amount of different powertrains offered in these vehicles. However, all their engines follow the basic principles.

That principle is a fuel-efficient four-cylinder unit. It is worth noting that here and there was the oddball turbocharged variant as well. To this day, the most powerful motor ever featured in a Nissan Sentra was the 1.6-litre turbocharged inline-four found in the Sentra SR Turbo and Sentra NISMO.

Once again, we shift our focus onto the 2015 model year Sentra. Euro NCAP awarded this Nissan in particular with a staggering 5-star safety rating.

Used Nissan Sentras' Performance Figures

As you might have realized, Sentras focus on taking you on your daily commute safely and consistently, and they're not meant to be sports cars. That said, they're not excruciatingly slow either.

Older Sentras usually take between 10 and 15 seconds to reach 60 mph from a stop, but there are a few special models that are even quicker. Just have a look at the 2017 Sentra SR Turbo which does 0-60 mph in around 7.5 seconds.

Aftermarket Support For The Nissan Sentra

If you feel like an older Sentra lacks some personality, or is perhaps a little too slow for your taste, you're in luck. Since the Sentra is one of the most popular cars in the world, there is an endless amount of aftermarket support for them too.

This ranges from wheels, tires, and suspension to useful engine modifications that make a difference to the power output as well. Nothing is impossible with these little Japanese sedans.

A Used Nissan Sentra In Comparison To Its Rivals

Toyota

The two main rivals for the Nissan Sentra are coincidentally also both from Japan. The first is the Toyota Corolla, and the second is the Civic. Whilst the Civic might be a more fun-to-drive platform, and the Corolla a more tech-focussed one, not one of them comes near the price of a used Sentra.

If you want the best bang for your buck mid-sized sedan, it's difficult to find something better than a used Nissan Sentra.

A Used Nissan Sentra Will Fit Anyone's Needs

No matter your driving style, taste in cars, or list of requirements, the Sentra can do it all. Sure, it might be a tad boring in stock form, but then again, some people like that.

Furthermore, these cars have such massive potential, it's difficult to justify a reason to not buy one.

Fallng out with China

For decades, access to low cost Chinese-made goods has made us soft. The lure of cheapness has encouraged us to sacrifice quality and longevity on the capitalist altar of consumerism. This is Russia all over again, but on a much grander scale.

Getting off the fast-consumer roundabout is going to be painful. So much of what we now take for granted in daily life is sourced from China. You might think by buying, for example, a BMW electric car you’ll get German engineering built in Germany but no. The automotive industry, like many other global industries, uses supply chains and manufacturing plants embedded deep inside the Chinese state.

China is the world’s factory, providing over one quarter of Earth’s manufacturing output. In some areas, consumer electronics for example, it is higher at a third and in some individual product lines such as the Apple iPhone it’s 95%.

But, ultimately, China is our enemy. You might not think it now, but it’s coming. Many geo-economic thinkers are talking about a major falling out between the West and China in the 2027-2030 timeframe, triggered by Chinese state aggression towards tiny Taiwan.

If and when that happens, there is little to stop the Chinese weaponising its manufacturing power to coerce the West into a pro-Chinese settlement. Every business and organisation in China has links back to the state. This extends from BMW electric cars to TikTok. Every pound spent or minute engaged is topping up state coffers - money that pays not just to fund state terrorism and subjugate minorities but to build aircraft carriers and missile systems.

One would of hoped we learn this lesson after Russia seducing us with cheap gas only for them to use the billions raked in revenues to fund a genocidal conflict in our backyard. But maybe not, the appeal of cheap is difficult to counter if you have a short-term view like most politicians do.

You can make a difference. My EV is made in Japan by Toyota/Subaru using a mixture of Japanese and Western supply chains, my next iPhone will be made in India. I make a conscious effort to avoid funding the Chinese state. That often means paying more, reducing range and choice, and in certain cases reduced functional performance.

I, for one, don’t want to fund a regime so corrupt of (western) morals and so determined to dominate the world in geo-politics that it makes Putin look like a pussy cat in comparison.

The price of cheapness is not one I am happy to pay. Much of the rest of the world, and those who cannot afford the “free world” premium, will be expected to turn a blind eye every time the Chinese state flexes its muscles in return for seductively cheap products.
