From Hongqi to BYD: Quality issues plague buyers/The CCP feels trouble from the European market 

Well.. "Red Flag" just seems to be an unfortunate name for basically any company..

If they do this to their own citizens, just imagine what they're exporting.

It hasn't changed for decades and it won't change. It's just the Chinese businessman's attitude: all he cares about is at the sale point. After that, you're on your own. That's why the appearance, the skin, is important to them so they can make the sale. Forget about reliability.

When Elon Musk started producing his cars in China, he was shouting about how China knew how to do do business as opposed to the Western World. Here's your lesson on how China really does business Elon. Enjoy!

I love how straight forward the EU was about Chinese cars in the European market. If it was the other way around, a Chinese official would just be verbally attacking the EU talking about the integrity of China and how they are a sovereign nation, and the West is controlling and all that.

EU needs to do random sampling for safety. Don’t let them submit a car, but take a few from a dealer. I’m sure they’ll fail miserably.

No wonder that happens, when corrupted companies take corrupted money from corrupted officials. What you expect them to produce - quality products?

People who are freaking out that the Chinese car makers will take over have no idea what is actually going on over there

A similar thing happened here in Australia a couple of years ago. This bloke bought a brand new Jeep and it broke down and /or had to be taken back to the dealer around 35 times in a short period of time. The owner eventually gave up after trying to get the car replaced from the dealer and took his car to a paddock. He advertised that people could come and smash it with sledge hammers, which they did, and he eventually finished it off with a large excavator that he had onsite. Oddly enough Australian law states that an item must be either replaced or the owner refunded if the item is faulty or doesn't fulfill it's intended use. Jeep didn't want to know about him. I can't remember the outcome but he car was destroyed in the paddock.

Japanese cars more reliable, better quality,more worth than other cars maker.

Wow, in Germany the Italian car manufacturer Fiat was called "Fehler in allen Teilen" - Failure in all parts, but Hongqi takes the cake...

I feel the frustration this car owner have. I guess there’s no lemon law in China.

An eye opening report that pretty much kills my interest in Chinese automobiles.

tesla owners are not allowed to drive or charge in public places and yet elon musk is making significant investments in china ,well that is quite dumb for being the worlds richest man

Here in the Philippines, a customer complaint against Geely car went viral on social media for the very same reason.

I've also seen a hilarious Chinese ecar charging station scene: Every car owner was fanning their charging handle because they're afraid it'll catch fire from overheating😂

My old Toyota Echo, 20 yr old car, has been running solid and reliable for the last 10 years. I've only had to change the tyres, break pads and battery.

China wants American brand to manufacture in China but not sell to Chinese. They fund infra project in other country with a condition that material and contactor should be Chinese companies. They have full access to other markets but won't allow access to their market. This has to end, China will fall.

This is why I don't trust Chinese cars. Apart from them there is no idea, poor quality creation. They also like to imitate other people's work. They are too greedy for a lot of money

Good for us Indians... China driving out all the big companies, India is opening up to them... Apple already shifting to India and same is going for tesla too... Even though India's own manufacturers makes awsome cars but still we like variations and that too in good quality...

Spontaneously bursting into flames, non-functional airbags and brakes is exactly what I imagined when I picture cheap Chinese cars.

I've always wondered how Chinese people even manage customer service with that kind of society. Turns out they just don't. Amazing.

BYD : Burn Your Dreams 🔥🚘🔥 .

I've been working in China companies & China engineering for years. All I can say is Manufactured in China parts are acceptable, but Engineered in China, is something I will watch out. Cutting corners is a must.

In Ca. USA we have a law that if you take a car 3 times to dealer to be fixed you can give the car back for new one or money back. Gets things done.

The car might be trash, but that glass is top notch!😂

I can't believe that car company is literally red flag. The name says it all 🤣

Maybe Europe and the USA should require Chinese car companies to have a European or American partner to gain access to the market. That is what China did to all other auto makers. China should be treated the same way they treated companies coming into their market. China has huge import fees for Foreign auto makers. Europe and USA should do the same to Chinese auto makers.

Funny how people drive too fast or recklessly and say, "The car had an accident. What will the dealer do?"

That burning car on 6:44 is really a 2011 Rolls Royce Ghost - that's the real thing and not a Hongqi!

Even with massive government subsidies they still can’t make a quality product. I’m in Australia and I’ve seen a few BYD dealerships pop up around the place I give them 5 years snd they’ll be out of the market. To be fair there should be massive tariffs on these cars as they are undercutting quality cars but because the government is pushing green vehicles these cars are given a free ride. People need to realise these pieces of junk create more carbon than a combustion vehicle and are so much more of a safety risk but the consumer is brainwashed and think they are doing the right thing. If you don’t think these Chinese car manufacturers are stealing your information you are very naive. I get all governments do it but I’d rather it be my own country listening than some foreign power who just wants to dominate everyone else. The CPC has made a massive mistake, they think by stealing all this technology from Legitimate companies they’ll be able to produce the equivalent or better product but how wrong they are. The world is catching on and is turning its back. Within 20 years China will be what Russia is today and India, Vietnam, Thailand and Mexico will dominate world manufacturing and then 20-30 years after that it’ll be Africas turn. It’s all swings and roundabouts the problem is China hasn’t taken advantage of its boom to create a strong home consumer market.

The name alone should be a big red flag to consumers... litterally

The S in BYD stands for Safe, and the F in BYD stands for Fireproof, and the W in BYD stands for Working airbags.

Finally, a Man with big brass balls that spoke his mind. He's had enough. "He's mad as hell and he's not going to take it anymore." (NETWORK, the movie) The whole country should follow this Man's lead. Le😎

Top tier ass customer service from hongqi. Instead of reassuring the customer, they are not fixing the problem

Reminds me of what Sachsenring did with the Trabant back in the day. When a car was poorly built and it wasn't worth fixing from the factory they'd stamp a "For Domestic Market" label on it.

As a car enthusiast, I would never buy a Chinese car. BMW, Audi, Mazda, Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, has been in the game for years and they still have issues. Now imagine an infant car company that's built for the general population.

Attracted by China's affordable prices and profit potential, businesses from the West frequently enter and succeed in the market, praising its favourable conditions. However, local competitors supported by the state arise over time and alter the landscape. Tesla and Uber are among the firms that confront challenges from the government, and some eventually discover the market too intimidating to work in. This pattern has persisted since the 2000s, despite a conspicuous historical trend. Why the world doesn´t learn... Most developed Asian countries withdrew from China a long time ago when they saw this, yet businesses from the EU and the US continue to invest in China. Which is still receiving funding for development from the EU....

With reports and an incident in Scotland whereby an MG EV went haywire accelerating on its own and malfunctioning systems, preventing it from stoppin until a Police van was put into its path bringing it to a halt, others have reported brakes slamming on for no reason, long and short steer clear of Chinese cars, scooters or E-bikes!

As a patriotic US Citizen I only buy Toyota products manufactured in Japan and shipped to the United States. Without Japanese competition, US manufactured cars would be worse.

This is the definition of "Made in China".

Hongqi and BYD customers totally deserve their cars.

I thought it was a real Rolls Royce - China don't create - just copy.

Very true . In China and even India we have such problems. Once you get a Car it is like U married !!! U suffer with that !

Banned all Chinese product all around the world...

At least he was using Huawei phone, when filming the customer's out rage 🤣🤣

Just when you thought China couldn't possibly get any more screwed up, it comes up with new mind-boggling surprises.

Saving the European car industry in the long run needs more than a 27.5% tariff.

I did something similar with my Epson printer. Sent it to the Epson CEO, “Take this piece of garbage back. It’s your trash now.”

That red flag got a hell of a wind shield damn! The side window took a sledge hammer and didn’t shatter right away 😂

The Hongqi (Red Flag) should be a Red Flag for auto buyers.

That glass is stronger than the one in the cybertruck ...

And the UK is considering allowing BYD to enter there and distort their market. There are no words....

Having a car named "Red Flag" with this breed of reliability issues is irony you can't make up

My respect for Indian cars has increased 10 fold. 😅

At (:38) that front fascia on that vehicle is what happens in a design studio when several people have input in the final design🐽. Truly a horror.

"If you can cheat, cheat" Chinese saying.🤔😒

11:23 as soon as she came across that table swinging a water bottle, she should've been knocked the fuck to the ground

Warning: Red Flag is really a red flag 🚩.

The reason chinese companies should not be allowed in other countries like India without stringent production quality.

114 brands?! No wonder there's too many new abandoned car. The gov never try to limit/regulate the numbers of auto company.

Customer satisfaction is last place unless the customer is a big wig in the CCP for then there can be severe consequences to that particular customer being unhappy. If the only way to make that customer happy is to (for instance) give him a new replacement car, even fitted out with special features, for no charge then that is merely the cost of doing business and less costly than the customer staying mad or getting angrier. For everyone else without the clout, it all take your chances and hope for the best.

Car's literally named Red Flag, what did you expect?

So dangerous 😳 🙏🙏They build their cars like their buildings. 😔

Chinese products: Quantity over quality.

BYD BUY AT YOUR DEMISE😂😂😂

Bought a Hyundai Sonata brand new and it did over 500,000 klms before I had to start replacing anything? Best car I ever owned. Now I drive a Holden that I can't wait to replace. It has cost me $3,500 over and above servicing in 4 months. My parents also went and bought a Hyundai because of how well mine did, They bought the Kona. Chinese cars cars are like their building that just 'fall over'? I would NEVER own one.

14:36 The look on his face is priceless. It's as though he's thinking to himself 'Why the hell am I doing this? This isn't what I signed up for, stupid government!'

Lol. Elon was pandering to China so hard, he literally flew to China to stop it from being pushed out. But China be like: we got your tech, you can kick dirt......

Moral of the story.. get a Toyota

do they not have basic safety standards in europe? how are any of these cars passing?

come on, you cant expect the airbag to work at 4am, its in sleeping mode until 6am

3:14 My dude! What a spirited man. Watching him destroy that lemon was satisfying.

REEEDD FLAG?POOR EXCUSE FOR A PRODUCT and WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!.A pit bull has more breeding.SHAMEFUL!!!

China makes EVs for low to medium income consumers, American and EU makes for high income earners, privilege and wealthy. Which consumers do you think has more effective affords to achieve net-zero target to assist with climate stabilisation? Says no more.

Bro aint no way they got a brand called red flag 💀

Either the translation was incorrect or that guy who smashed his car couldn’t remember the number of times he’s had it repaired 😂

With so many vehicles produced, the quality control must be overwhelming. So many manufacturers with the lack of standards and regulations and little oversight means poor quality, product failures, and lack of service. Garbage production with "Chinese characteristics".

Just buy a Tesla. If you buy anything else you roll the dice. Chinese EV quality cannot match Tesla and they are at least 7 years behind Tesla. Buying chinese EVs like BYD is not really saving you money.

I hate EV cars like Tesla (rather drive a gasoline vehicle or diesel) but is ridiculous their owners are not allowed to charge their Tesla? They should make their Chinese vehicles better and not cut corners just make a trash vehicle just to make a quick profit and lie to their customers of fixing it.

Smashing your own car in front of the dealership; that'll teach 'em! 😂

Interesting. This is mafia gangsterism. Thanks for sharing.

And to think 🤔 they started making airplanes ✈️…😬

This reminds me of American Ford vehicles at one period in my country where they were burning randomly and people tried to sue the company 🤣🤣🤣 Cars go through a phase if rushed to the public. All the best to these car brands in future

If China doesn't want any American/western brands in their country, why would they agree to sell them in their country in the first place?

Everything : "Made in China" is Tofu. 🤣🤣🤣

Never in a million years would I buy a car from a Chinese company like Volvo, or a Chinese made car like many Teslas. For the former, the rationale is that only an insane person would support the economy of that dictatorship with such a large purchase. For the latter, there isn't a quality assurance system in the world that could guarantee the vehicle would be reliable. I wonder how well these will keep their value...

Gets terrified if the gps breaks down 😂.

Having work for 2 mainland chinese companies , the first early on in my career and the second right before covid hit , i have sworn off ever having anything to do with such companies although their salaries can be substantial. Their company SOP or rather the lack of it is jarring. After a difficult day deciding on suitable methods and approach in handling products and services, you found out right before the operation starts the next day that it was scrapped that morning itself and employees have to individually check in with their bosses (who are always at this kinds of meetings) on different sop's on the same product . Mind you this happened more than 40 times in the span of a year. Even then the level of customer and after sales service is near non existent. God have mercy if you try to salvage an existing customer from leaving , the boss will call you in to be reprimanded for trying to jeopardize the company's operation as well as trying to pilfer the client from the company . So this here story hits the spot.

China 🇨🇳 Make Quality Cannot Believe !😮

They rip off other companies, why wouldn't they rip off their customers? It's like dating a person who used to cheat in a relationship. They've shown who they are and how far they will go.

Another satisfied HongQi customer. Red Flag usually is a warning.

Money doesn’t buy principles and intelligence… too many Chinese citizens who grew their wealth without knowing how to spend and live with common sense

My cousin Wang Suk Lo used to work at BYD. He was ordered to reduce the quality and mix in insect husks and bat droppings into things like floor mats then claim it was eco friendly. When he spoke out they tried to silence him by sending hired goons (one was named Suk Peen Tang) to assault him. They held him down and launched heavy groin kicks.

I have byd and it is good car, I have no problem. This video is not sufficient but sufficient of those who don't drive any car. Any car company in the world can have faults, it is not only Chinese car making companies

I bought Toyota already 5 years old no problem 😂🇺🇸🇺🇸

4:19 - 4:24 the companies connected to the ccp🐍/cpc🐍regime are doing it intensionally so that those owners of cars will buy the parts and it is a profitable business for them..

Silly thought about the man destroying his own car. Why destroy it when he could have drove it to the service station and just leave it there. Put the Keyes in his pocket and just walk away... The dealership doesn't care if a person destroys their own car. But they do care when you block the service station, you would be blocking their bottom line. Just a thought...

It's rather perplexing to know that CCP is banning US Tesla yet persist US to continue to do business alliance with them.... 😑

I will have nothing to do with China, before purchasing anything, I check to see the manufacturer, if Chinese, walk away.
