... It just says that the product is exactly what the factory was told to produce. You want the highest quality phone on the planet? Done. You want something that looks just like it but only costs you a buck? They can do that too.

Isn't Snap-On made in China nowadays?
Apparently the bike was made in China, but to German standards.

EV Smart Knockoffs
You can find a lot of China made Smart EV on Alibaba . The knockoffs vary and hard to tell what you may or may not being getting yourself into and that is if they can make it past customs

Prior to Weston's reporting, most Americans had been barred from entering the new country, which is depicted as being on continual guard against revanchism. The new nation of Ecotopia consists of Northern California, Oregon, and Washington; it is hinted that Southern California is a lost cause.
