LAMS logic

China most likely has more small bikes cruising around than you think. They most likely arnt to bad at making a 10 year consumable vehicle.

It varies enormously from province to province, city to city. The only bikes I saw in Beijing were 250 police cruisers. Yamaha iirc. Lots more private stuff in Shanghai, including damn near every teenager on electric scooters, plugged in at a local cafe. Shanghai is wealthy, though, the vast majority of Chinese can't afford bikes, and their absence in some areas is so complete that it' almost a certainty there's local political rules in place forbiding them. Same with pushbikes now that I think about it.

Quality as we know it isn't a driving force in manufacturing in China. It's difficult to understand but price is absolutely evrything, and whereas in large factories it's cheaper to make quality parts than crap ones that's not true in small non-automates workshops. And that extra cost simply isn't viable for them, they'd lose the work. The upshot is that here's almost a default level of quality: that which will look OK and last long enough to clear the showroom floor.

I don't see their culture allowing the sort of kaizen driven transformation the Japanese made after the war.
