    super popular in Australia (we have no quotas and no tarrfis)

    still a lot of sinophobia but that was the case way back as well. An example, my Grandfather was in WW2 and he said he would disowned my dad if he bought a Toyota when I was a teen (am 60 now). And when Sth Korea launched their cars they’re were laughed at.
