China's car culture is roughly about 50 years behind the US, their economy is roughly 80-100 years behind, but they are quick learners. It's only a matter of time before their workforce starts demanding even more pay and better working conditions. The demanding has already begun, but will intensify to feed the growing dependence on the automobile, I suspect. Which isn't too bad a thing, as production costs go up (and profit margins shrink), some of our displaced manufacturing base may return.

Actually, I think that may already be happening. Sunlite accessories used to be the leading budget brand, but now has apparently moved up-market in pricing.
