Chinese netizens are asking why their governments convoys only include Japanese and German cars and no Chinese brands.
>>541779436>Chinese netizen why do I only see this word "netizen" in posts related to china? You won’t see it often otherwise
>>541779505it what the chinkies call themselves when they are online
Kek...even they don't want to ride in their cars.
>>541779436>why their governments convoys only include Japanese and German cars and no Chinese brands
>>541779505Nice way to refer to the terminally online.
>>541779943Have they started the fire?
>>541779436Probably because they have security concerns. The U.S. is making it mandatory in 2027 for all cars to monitor Americans to determine BEFORE they start the car if they are impaired or not. This means there will be an A.I. algorithm in every car to determine if you are fit to drive or not. It also means they can shut down any car they want. Now if the government can do that with these newer tech savvy cars, then other people can do it. Thus it becomes a liability to drive them when you are part of the elite.
>Government and emergency response fleets are governed by strict replacement cycles. Many of the Toyota Land Cruisers, Prados, and German utility platforms (like Mercedes Unimogs or Audi quattro models) were purchased 10 to 15 years ago when domestic high-capability off-road alternatives were non-existent or unproven. Replacing operational fleets before the end of their service life is financially and bureaucratically impractical.
>>541779436I don't know how it is now, but 20-30 years ago you weren't a real chigga unless you drove an upscale VW/audi. The old a6 was incredibly popular in the early 2000s. Basically everyone remotely involved in govt drove a black one and if you didn't you were a bitch.
>>541779505Because the netizens are not "Chinese". They are falun trannies. Most of the Chinese official cars have been local brands since EV revolution has happened there. The falun tranny is lying.>>541779436>>541779624You lost, tranny.
>>541779943ok
Even if they do use foreign cars (they sometimes do) they are made in china.
>>541780519>Well ackshually they're 10-15 years old and they want to save money by not replacing them until they need toThose land cruisers look like 2019 models to me.
>>541779505I have literally heard netizen in the 90s in introductory materials to the Internet and the world wide web. Countries and nations do not matter we are all equal netizens.
>>541782391Actually, after looking some more, the 2019 model is the oldest. Some of them are 2023 models and newer.
>>541779436Are those all Toyota Land Cruisers?
>>541779624only the taiwan / south china / colonized types use netizen. china proper rarely uses it and if you see it in the wild it's likely TW/HK/SG or falun gong as anon said.
>>541782532yes apart from the Merc ambulance
>>541779505I saw it first time associated with the japanese in mid 2005. I always guessed it was a translation of netoyo.
