You have to subscribe so I do not know if WSJ told the "rest of the story."

Probably not. The WSJ loves that cheap, compliant, lucrative labor of the 'dem Red Chinese. Got rope, WSJ? (Lenin said that you useful idiots would sell them the rope to hang you guys.)

The following was copied from wiki and one other source (a comment by me at the end).

Copying claims

The Chery QQ (left) and Daewoo Matiz (right).

In June, 2003, American company General Motors sued Chery accusing it of copying the first generation Daewoo Matiz (developed by a GM subsidiary, GM Daewoo) in its design for the Chery QQ.[34][35] General Motors then went on to accuse Chery of using a Matiz in a crash test for the Chery QQ.[35]

GM executives claimed design duplication,[36] with many parts interchangeable between the QQ and the Matiz,[9] and GM China Group stated the two vehicles, "shared remarkably identical body structure, exterior design, interior design and key components."[36]

While some Chery cars are not copies, such as the Pininfarina-designed A3,[37] the QQ may not be the sole Chery model that wears famous-name designs; the Chery Tiggo is criticized for resembling the second generation Toyota RAV4.[38] Other model using the Matiz technology found in the QQ may include QQ6.[citation needed] The Magnus and its derivatives (Eastar, V4, B12, and B22) are also considered by some to be copies.[why?] [edit] GM lawsuit

After mediation attempts failed, then-GM Daewoo (now known as GM Korea) brought a case against Chery in a Shanghai court, but by 2005 jurisdiction had been moved[9] to the Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court.[39]

Around that time Chinese state officials, including a vice-minister of commerce and a vice-director of the State Intellectual Property Office, publicly supported Chery.[39] The Chinese have claimed that GM didn't properly patent their technology. [39] In late 2005 the lawsuit was settled. [end of wiki stuff]

More..

from case settled Date: June 2003, December 2004. Court: Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court, Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate Court, China. Claim: 80 million yuan Settlement: In November 2005 the partners reached a settlement, which solved all the disputes and all the claims have been withdrawn. The Chinese government has played a role in the negotiations, all parties highly appreciated the efforts made by the relevant government authorities.

[My comments] The Red China communist people's court settle the case.. let's see. GM depends mightily upon Red China cheap labor and -- so far as they are so far allowed -- access to the Red China domestic market. Plus the Chi-Coms have already killed about 60 million of their own citizens.. what's a few more plus a handful of Americans?

my gut feeling is that most of the 60 million probably did something really bad to deserve death. Their prisons over there are probably pretty small as they don't waste anytime executeing the death sentence, If you are found guility of a crime that deserves death, your death will probably pretty much come the same day you were declared guility. No messing around, No TV, you go straight to the grave.
