    Do NOT 'reconsider' the import tax for this company, just because it has chosen to do what you want, invest in the country.

    There are many other sectors where China etc are still dumping goods and destroying home industries.
    The bigger issue remains this dominant one and Brasil's policy, once chosen, must be managed even-handedly until this dumping of the whole range of too-cheap imports stops.

    so to save on import tax,
    they use their brains, and make them in brazil, and send the profits back to china,

    Just clones, Dave, just clones.

    Design evolution has reached the convergent stage.
    The world middle class is so homogeneous now that the parameters of the design questions posed come up with the same conformations and under-the-hood technical solutions.

    I once read that there will only be four car manufacturers in the world - this is why.
    Undoubtedly, the Chinese public/private car production company will be one of the last men standing.

    The car will be like every other car we have recently owned, except that, instead of just being crammed full of Chinese-made gizmos, it will actually call itself Chinese, with a little Chinese badge to prove it.
