Auto parts supplier NSK fined by China in anti-monopoly case

This is laughable smokescreen for protectionism. Chinese import duties and taxes on foreign cars/parts are what make them 2 or 3 times more expensive in China than they are in the west.

Exactly, lets steal the money from the foreign companies

Sell the stupid Chinese government cars and don't sell them parts!!!

(shakes head)

Great for China government, the shining beacon of all things without corruption and righteousness.

Regret despite paying huge fines in America, Japanese makers continue to violet anti-monopoly laws, this time in China.

An anti-monopoly case in a country where virtually all companies are state-owned.

Did NSK not pay the correct bribes, or paid but to wrong people?

Yeah, I think NSK must have a better overview whom they bribe there. Some people leave jobs immediately after getting the bribe money, slowly making this approach a poor investment. Additionally, the imported parts are expensive because:

1 - they are original (made up to specs)

2 - they are taxed heavily entering the country.

I thinks China wants to reduce the prices of original parts down to the level of knock-offs.
