I understand your skepticism. Not sure about NA but Cncap is based off the european safety standards and regulated very strictly as it's a first basis for chinese brands wanting to go international, which for this brand Geely plans to do very quickly. The whole chassis and structure is literally the same as a volvo xc40 which I'd imagine is very safe. If the car's superb Cncap rating doesn't meet international standards when it gets tested to those specs, Geely will remake the car to meet those standards because they've already spent so much money on pushing this brand international.

In other news, Tesla is expected to open a gigafactory in China.
Yes Greatwall is a POS chinese brand and should be avoided at all costs. But to be fair, the truck market in China is non existent. Only brands that are making pickups are for urban laborers which I doubt the chinese car brands are too worried about imposing safety on (which is wrong btw).

Only chinese brand atm that's reliable is Geely, BYD is ok but has very questionable management, and NIO is so new and unorganized, I'd like to see how long they last.
