POLL : How do You Feel About Jeep Being Owned by the Chinese?

[JimLee]

Honestly, in my opinion, no matter who makes them I think the the JL/JT line is the last series of Jeeps that will be worthy of hard offroading. Over-computerization already makes them a PITA for some mods and they are going to just keep "modernizing" to the point that almost any mods besides cosmetic will disable the vehicle. Plus electrification, you can keep that bullshit. I'll keep it until it can't go no more but I think the JL is my last new Jeep purchase.

If one had the ability to trace the money flow all the way back to it's origin, China probably already owns a majority of the planet.

Stellantis has terminated its joint venture with Guangzhou Automotive Group in China last week…

American made car index. Funny that a lot of people hate on Tesla, but look where they sit on the list. Like them or hate them, at least they are made here. Wrangler comes it at 44 but the Stellantis group comes in at 2

I'm not big into politics, and by no means an economist.

China simply doesn't play by the rules, which is frustrating. Intellectual property, and designs mean nothing to them (hence the Chinese knockoff). Financially, they also play by different rules. China's policy appears to be different than that of other colonization, and they are buying their way into countries. Australia, India, and countries in Africa are experiencing this first hand.

Now consider this... China owns nearly 200,000 acers of American farmland. China's goal appears to buy and own countries out from underneath them. This is not private companies in China buy up things, these are state sponsored Chinese companies that are buying up things.

Now, nothing against the Chinese people. I know several who are immigrants that love being here and are fantastic people.
