Absolutely, but those are parts which are subject to overseas QA, standards and testing. For example, I have a Toyota. Chinese made parts must meet their strict quality control, must adhere to safety standards, etc.
I know first hand that, in China, regulations and standards can be bypassed with the correct payments. I do not trust that they have not done so, especially when there are other, better, choices.
We are talking about a country that has things like Melamine laced baby formula quite frequently. How did these things pass regulators and testing? Bribary.

The cars that are exported here must meet our standards.
I never said anyone else had to listen to me. I said, originally, that I wouldn’t drive a Chinese company.
And I want to be very clear here. I don’t hate China. I greatly distrust the Chinese government, and the culture of bribary, lying, cheating and scamming that has gone along with it.
I also do not hate it because it’s popular to do so online. I have this view because of direct, personal, experience with Chinese companies and the government there.
Simply put, Chinese companies have and will make important stuff out of sub-par materials to make a buck, and lie, cheat and bribe their way to market. And then people die. This is not paranoia, this is something that happens all the time there.
You probably trust your life to chinese made parts in your current car.

That’s fine if you’re happy to drive one, I don’t really care. Personally I won’t.
They can say they meet regulations all they won’t, but the number of times corners are cut in China to make a few extra bucks makes me look elsewhere.
This is all not to mention not wanting to support the CCP in any way, and the CCP has fingers in all the large companies in China.
You do you boo. It seems like the rest of the country doesn’t agree with you too much.
But hey you hate China and I guess that’s one badge you can wear with honor.

So you don’t hate china but you hate the chinese government and everybody in china who works for any company that makes any product.
That’s not at all what I said.
It’s exactly what you said. Who do you think is making sure the chinese cars are going to kill you when you get in them if not the workers?
