Thanks, Ron

It's different in many different ways. Neither the Germans nor the Italians are threatening their neighbors with war, are annexing large swaths of international waters and planting artificial islands there with airbases on them, are buying up large parts of American business and property, are engaging in cyber shenanigans, are reverse engineering, copying or outright stealing everything from car parts to fighter jets and building it them themselves, and/or building up their military for eventual war with the US.

At least not in this century. The Chinese are not our pals.

Of course they're not our friends! But FCA (and GM and Ford) have been selling vehicles in China for a while now, and we have China to thank for saving Buick! It's all about money anyway, and the Jeep brand is hot right now!

Before WW2 Buick inported their cars including to China.
It was a very popular car especially in the up and coming mega cites Singapore and Hong Cong. It was a tough car and fit the rugged country side well too.
