America has a shortage. A rather large shortage. A shortage of integrity. Too many Americans would sell anything to anyone to make a buck.

In spite of what some freepers post, when it comes to commerce, there are things that are just plain wrong.

Amen. Don’t forget that this administration also ignores b the Chinese arming terrorists because corporations tells it to put on a blindfold.

I think it's more the case that some Chinese companies don't think a deal is a deal. When you contract out something to be built to a spec, you expect that spec throughout the contract. It looks like this Chinese company decided that it was OK to substitute an inferior product sometime through the deal. The simple remedy is to put the American distributor out of business by forcing a recall. No one else will then do business with Yangzhou, simply out of a fear of liability issues. There will also be a general unease with buying from Chinese-owned tire manufacturers, which means the cessation of imports from these firms. Yangzhou may have saved itself millions or even tens of millions of dollars by omitting that feature. But it has just dealt itself out of the US market. And perhaps most of auto tire markets outside of China, if not in China itself. (Chinese consumers are reflexively nationalistic, but they do pay attention to these things. They may profess an ardent nationalism, but most buy foreign cars assembled in China for their superior reliability and fit and finish).
