I concede that. But anyone reading it could understand it, IMO.
First of all, a big thanks for recognising your error. It takes one to recognise ones error in order to improve ourselves.
However, the second part of:
"But anyone reading it could understand it, IMO."
Well, that's some assertion. I'm anyone, and I didn't understand your meaning. I understood the meaning word for word though. And if writing is supposed to convey meanings, then you've failed miserably. IMO!
You got to understand, I'm a lecturer in economics, and if one of my students writes what you wrote. I'll have to mark him down because he would have conveyed a completely different meaning. IMO!
Sucess lies in quality, and chinese car companies arent as good as foreign ones. And that isnt surprising, because foreign car companies have decades of advance ahead of chinese car companies. Its possible that china can, in time, create a car company that can become a multinational, but i think that it will be a private company, not so much a SOE.
Now as for the rest of your statement. That's quite a bold statement to make. As I said before, neither you or I would ever know where the success or failure lies. I dare say not even the people closer to the Chinese motor industry would ever get a handle on it.
So I'll keep an open mind. But in your case, you have let your hatred of all things publicly owned (SOE) as opposed to privately owned enterprises coloured your judgement. (From your previous posts).
With regards to your last posting about foreign car makers having decades of experiences. Well guess what, so does China. China has entered partnership arrangement with a host of foreign companies in the 1980s. One that comes to mind is VW back in the 1980s.
And in the process learnt a lot about quality and other manufacturing know-how from these joint ventures. Indeed, China has even improved upon these and implemented new manufacturing techniques of their own. Which is why most of the stuff we used daily is.... made in China. Take that iPhone you're typing on to tell me I should've understood what you meant, for example!
Take Seat of Spain and Skoda of Czech republic for example. These companies are on the receiving end of many jokes in the U.K. for their poor quality. Today, no one have ever joked about their quality. And VW only taken over these companies in the 1990s.
I understand you are from an ex-Soviet block country, and everything back then, especially if it's SOE is sxxt. And this may coloured your judgement on China's car industry. IMO!
