I’m currently using my 2008 MacBook Pro. For basic web browsing, text editing and music playing, it works great. And for other stuff it handles remote desktop sessions just fine.
On the original topic, I can’t say that I’ve seen any Chinese vehicles on the road or for sale… is the government trying to get out in front of that one?
The big issue is bicycles — every bicycle (especially the electric ones) has a bunch of components only available from China, with other manufacturers priced out of the market years ago.
