Here's the reason why Chinese cars (or other Chinese-made crap) are "deathtraps" (very low quality & extremely unsafe):
Anybody who understands East Asian culture and history will tell you how they are drastically different from each other. Just because something happened in one location at one time doesn't mean it will repeat at another location at another time. You only need to see the history of Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan to tell that global brands like Toyota, Sony, Samsung, and Hyundai won't emerge from China. Why is that? Because of Chinese tendency to pursue short term profits in exchange for a long term growth, and the government's failure to establish an economic plan with a long term vision.
You cannot compare Chinese auto industry with Japanese/Korean auto industry for following reasons.
1. Japanese/Korean auto makers had tiny domestic markets and were forced to crack US and EU markets just to survive from the beginning. China's domestic market is rather large and Chinese auto makers don't have to go to overseas to survive. In fact, engineering cars to be US/EU regulation compliant could be fatal in a market condition where there is zero regards for safety and quality, and consumers shop only based on pricing alone. Make your car better than your competitor and raise your price, your competitor undercuts your price with an inferior but cheaper car and you are dead in China where the prices drop every quarter.
2. Chinese consumers themselves no longer consider Chinese brand vehicles when the intended price budget is more than $5,000. Accordingly, almost all Chinese brand vehicles are priced below $5,000. This heavy focus on low-price vehicles prohibit Chinese makers from higher priced and higher quality vehicles suitable for the US and EU markets.
大意是：中国的汽车很差，因为东亚的文化就是那个样子，他们没有好的重复性，看看新加坡，香港和台湾就知道了。好的企业不可能从中国产生……
另外，日本和韩国能有很好的汽车企业，因为他们的国内市场太小，企业从一开始就得打开欧美市场才能生存。中国市场足够大，用户又非常在乎价格，提高质量和安全性就得牺牲价格，所以中国厂商就只注重价格了。
中国用户买车，只要预算超过５０００美元，就不会考虑国产车了，所以中国厂商就只能在５０００美元以下市场拼杀……
听了让人有点不舒服，不过这哥们儿说的倒也是实情……

刚在淘宝上看到的，刚好和我的车型和颜色都一样，偶在考虑是不是把车子也搞成这样，这样会不会太花了~？？？

辗转难眠，想起朋友今天说过的话“爱自己多一点!”
我微笑不语，有些话听起来很容易，可是，我一辈子都学不会！！！！
我摸索着抽起烟。
想想自己转眼就快30岁了。
不寒而栗。虽然不愿意承认，不愿意吹灭那些蜡烛，可是上帝并没有给我逃避的机会。
他直接帮我做了决定。
我那挥霍了良久的青春，已经开始慢慢见白，不见踪迹。

故事从一个星期天开始
和男朋友一起有4年的，大学的时候就在一起，刚开始的时候也是浪漫非凡，玩遍了所有男生女人所谓的小资和情调，大学毕业走上社会，工作开始忙起来了，生活也渐渐走向平淡我们几乎已经是快谈婚论嫁的时候了，妈妈给我出钱付了首付，装修也一手操办，基本上，就在等着选个好日子，把自己嫁了，日子真是美好。
男朋友，小撒，自从一个大学聚会回来以后，就不是很正常，天天发呆，手机当宝，私事变多，上网不给人瞧 。完全完全是有外遇的标准表现，我当然发现有问题了，可是，感情的事怎么说呢，在一起6年了，要说感情，那也是有的，只不过，疲劳是难以避免的，我很想和他好好聊 聊，大家沟通沟通，这才是王道 。

功夫游戏决战白宫之巅

美国总统打出来今年除了是中国的奥运年外对于大洋彼岸的美国也是重要的一年。小布什两届八年任期已满，将有新的一位总统来领导美利坚合众国。美国大选的获胜者一直都是“驴象之争”-共和党和民主党的党魁会代表美国最重要政党来参加4年一次的世界上最重要的选秀节目-“世界超级警察队长”。当然“警察队长”没有一身本领是完全不行的，于是便有下面这款非常有创意的游戏Kongfu-Election[功夫竞选]。游戏作者从共和民主党中各自选出了四位候选人。
希拉里·克林顿 朱利安尼 奥巴马 赫卡比
爱德华兹 凯恩 理查德森 罗姆尼
游戏多数也是参照了多款格斗游戏的模式攻击键是"Z""X""C"方向键就是上下左右。前+X是连招，前前+C是远程攻击。最有意思的是希拉里的远程攻击是召唤出比尔·克林顿去攻击对手。
游戏开始有一段真人的RAP歌词真的很囧：
Election time and I'm in the mood for
nunchucks, ninjas, and Chinese food.
I should get informed and watch the news,
but all I can think about is fighting Kung-fu!
I don't wanna think the issues through,
I just wanna fight Kung-fu baby!
It's not my problem I'll leave it to you,
I just wanna fight Kung-fu baby!
Punch, flip, sweep, kick
Bush, Cheney, George, Dick
Replace them with...?
Who will you pick?
Block, duck, elbow, knee
Bomb the middle east?
We don't agree
So I vote for Bruce Lee!
Stay in Iraq well yes, no, maybe?
I just wanna fight Kung-fu baby!
Healthcare crisis so don't get rabies.
I just wanna fight Kung-fu baby!
Bomb Iran for World War III?
I just wanna fight Kung-fu baby!
It's not my problem don't look at me.
I just wanna fight Kung-fu baby!
And all our jobs went to China,
but at least we stole their fighting skills!
Global warming and the rising sea.
I just wanna fight Kung-fu baby!
Katrina heck of a job Brownie.
I just wanna fight Kung-fu baby!
From middle class to poverty.
I just wanna fight Kung-fu baby!
It's not my problem don't look at me.
I just wanna fight Kung-fu baby! Let's go!
