Sure, this is true. Look at “MG” - was a British brand then an now it’s Chinese.

But the Chinese could proudly use there own brands: BYD, Xpeng, Xiaomi. Why do they imitate ours?

Customers should simply be aware that Opel isn’t a German brand anymore. This has nothing to do with German engineering. Unfortunately. - German brands are sold widely for cheap crap. Other examples: Dual, Grundig, Bose etc.

We should only name something “Made in EU” when it’s really produced in EU and never sell out our identity to China.

But that is, what happens.
