I don't understand though, they have all the money in the world, they can hire world's best design houses to come up with unique designs for their cars, why bother copying? Maybe there is a market for these cheap knock offs, cause an average Chinese can't really read the badge name which is written in English. They can't tell whether the badge says Land Rover or Land Wind, so as long as it looks like a Land Rover it probably is a Land Rover to them
2 trillion, 10 trillion. Difference.
How do you think progress can be made? This is the problem of Indian mentality, cheap originality that accounts for nothing. I seen a documentary where the Chinese guy knows he's copying, but his shoe business is taking off, on the other hand the Indian guy makes bracelets and he calls it original, like there were no bracelets before or after, and btw, the profit margin is way bigger on shoes.
True, he didn't directly copy bracelets from known brands, but his business is just that, nothing, the Chinese guy, not this guy, but the ones that started in the 80s are multi billionaires that employes hundreds of thousands making their own brands now.
True we copy cars, today, it's a cheap copy, tomorrow it's the real deal. Chinese phones, worthless copies, just 10 years ago, world beaters today. Alibaba, Baidu, cheap copies some years ago, world class today.
You say copy, it is, but in 10 years, nobody is going to remember how we made it, all they will know is that we made it.
Disgusting. Such is the reality of a culture that places no respect on rights and ownership.
really, that's disgusting? Jobs? Profit? And such? I suppose no jobs, and no money, is much more dignified.
People may not like China, but they respect us, the same can't be said for, well......
Dude a copy will never be equal to the real thing. And there is a reason why the real thing is expensive. Can the Chinese one do any of this on the inside? Tata has done an EXCELLENT job with the range.
So the Rover was crap before Tata? Let me ask you this, can you say with a straight face, that if Rover emphasized India as where the Rover comes from, that it would still sell?
I don't mean they are hiding it, I just mean if you guys actually put Indian flags in the dealerships, and make a point of telling Everyone it's Indian design, you think you would have the same sales as now?
