China keeps at it: Copying everyone! It's Honda's turn next...

Honda Name Battle


When is a Honda not a Honda? When it's a Hongda. Bosses from the Japanese car maker are suing two Chinese companies, which make motorbikes badged Hongda, for £2million. Honda says the name is too similar to its own and infringes upon its trademark.

If China thinks they will become the largest economy in the world soon with these kinds of tactics....they will be unpleasantly surprised.

the problem is, even when they are caught, they don't seem to care.

toyota already lost a case involving one of chinas car companies using a label that looked similiar to the toyota label. nissan is thinking about suing over a china car company 'copying' one of their suvs.

Reminds me of how months after a new allied jet aircraft would come out, the USSR would fly an exact replica with soviet markings in their next airshow.

You think China cares that what they're doing is wrong? This is CHINA. They're fucking commies!

Communists are like the Borg collective: assimilate & imitate and annihilate with no independent rationale
and no creativity of their own. lol

How's that for a geeky analogy hahaha

And they lose their best minds to the US and Taiwan, a brain drain. All because of freedom and democracy. Isnt that something?

Man, if china needs to be nuked because of copying body styles of an extera, what should people do to americans when they just go around and bomb other countries? No hating, just don't be too extreme like the nuke comments.

ahh, let them be. Some poor lil chinese teen is sick of driving a little motor bike and is able to finally afford something that resembles an accord or xterra. I would die if the chinese market hongda has better trannies and reliability then the real Honda.
