If anyone has been in China to buy a Huawei phone recently, do you recall what the price for the foldable Mate x5 was?

Was it even available or back-ordered to hell?
Hi, I was in China few days ago, bought the Mate 60 Pro while I was there (WOO!!). I saw the price for Mate X5, it was around $13999 RMB for base model. @cctang actually bought an X5 recently (source) so he would know.

Edit: actually, the official Huawei vMall store has the prices and has the backorder status:

Seems my Subaru needs some expensive fixing. The only respectable place here that will look at it is the local Subaru dealer which in recent years is focusing much more on Changans, which have become ludicrously popular here especially the pickup trucks. Anyway, I don't want another Subie (for the aforementioned reason that barely anyone will service or repair them) and am waiting for a part-ex offer which may result in the purchase of a Changan CS55 Plus Elite (new), a 2nd hand CS75, or if I can wait a bit a Uni K Elite. Does anyone have any views or experience of these models, or Changan as a brand generally? If so, hit me up!

FAOD my wife won't let me buy a pickup truck, despite the pleadings of our eldest boy.

The amount of trolls from Falung Gong-funded China Observer and the shitshow Task & Purpose I had to ban in the last couple of weeks has been staggering. I guess from the algo's perspective it is just another channel about China, but clearly it is unable to see that a propaganda channel cater to a very different audience.

It's one of the best channel that talks about Chinese Navy and other related defense topics on YouTube. @5unrise deal with the subject matter in a mature, intelligent, and respectful manner and most of all to his audience common sense. He does not delve into gotcha click baity b.s. that Task&Purpose has sunk into for obvious idiotic reasons.

Hilarious, since you are not living in the USA/Canada, you probably have access to more Chinese cars than 80% of SDFers

I don't have any personal experience, but Changan is a large SOE, one of China's big 4 automakers, so probably at worst the same as buying a Chevy. Is Great Wall available where you are?
