And it is doing very well in Russia, annual sales increase exponentially, so that shows no signs of dissatisfaction from Russian consumers there. So why single out Chinese carmakers and not other carmakers as well, I could not figure out the answer and I came up with that hypothesis (the first post on this thread). Maybe they are really being protectionistic given the cheap price of Chinese cars, it is very hard for Russian manufacturers to compete or probably there is hidden agenda.No need to badmouth Russia though, in the end of the day, this is the world of business and not everything is smooth and easy going.

They now have days off for worker so they can go home and make "little patriots" LOL Russia is not being protectionist - it's just that the Chinese car makers didn't offer enough bribes. Think about it, why only Chinese car makers getting the shaft and not the other majore car makers? Given the Russian gov being more corrupt than even the Chinese, it's hard to imagine otherwise.

Chinese car driving market could be 1 billion (heaven help us), eventually. No, Russian market will only have at most 300million people (and not all of them will have cars).

I don't know why they are being so protectionistic. Or maybe they are doing the right things for their own industry, they cannot stand there and watch the sales of Chinese cars keep increasing by 500% every year, and given their low prices, if Chinese cars stay for long, people will not be able to see even a single Russian car on the streets of Russia. And is Russian market important for Chinese carmakers ? Is there any negotiations going on yet between Chery (or any other Chinese carmakers) and the Russian government/authority ?
