Hi MS; From the outset I have personally have nothing against China - their system works for their 1.4billion folks. But yep MS Gangfengs quoted "we are prepaired to pay" $1400 is a pure wish (hopeful) backed by Chinas current considerable 80% control place on the Li totem market pole. It does not matter as the 80% spot is heavilly diluted by the Wests uncomfortable and massively untrusted "we dont want ya stuff" relationship with a country that is on the "wrong" political side to the USA look at the China/Russia relationship re Ukraine invasion and ohhhhTaiwan. China will ignores external contracts and, try testing one against an internal Chinese company. Talk about national interest/frighteners the West "generally sees a 5th column" packed into anything Chinese. I for one would not buy a Chinese car they "would" walk away from me/us the moment they (not us) felt aggrieved/aggressive, as a wine grower I know and stiff what could I do!!!. IMO, DYOR woof woof.
