Compare to our country, China is open market. The fact show US, German car dominate china car market which conquer by German made Volkswagen follow by GM ( Buick, Chevrolat, Cadilac ) and then Hyundai and Honda. Local auto maker like Chery and BYD ranked in no5 and no6. No 1 is Volkswagen, No2 is GM. Cukai import untuk bawah 1.6 hanya 5%. Memang ada kata nak dinaikkan tapi just 7.5 %. Try compare harga kereta2 jenama Volkswagen, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai di Malaysia dengan di China. Volkswagen Golg GTI boleh dpt 2 biji dengan harga di Malaysia. Sama juga dengan Grand Livina. Sama jugak dengan model2 lain dan ada yg boleh dpt 3 biji dengan harga di Malaysia. so fikir2lah yg mana lg open maket not realy open market. Compare to our country, China is open market.

Boleh dpt 2 bijik kereta dengan harga sama di Malaysia dan ada model tertentu boleh dpt 3 bijik dengan model yang sama di Malaysia oleh pembuat yg sama. semuanya pasal cukai. not really open market? cukai import only 5% bagi kereta bawah 1.6 compare to our conuntry. tu bukan open market lg ke? just check harga Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Buick, Chevrolet dan Caddilac, mazda, Suzuki di China compare di Malaysia.
