Interesting that I went to Costco Wholesale Store buying beer as my third-stage liquid (4 stages: milk, soft drink, beer, I.V.)of my life, and I found that Tsing Tao beer from China is $2-3 more expensive than German Beck's beer

From this logic: things from China already so cheap, so things from Germany should be cheaper. Therefore, car from Germany will be cheaper than ones from China Do we pay too much for BMW built in Germany or when Chinese car imported to US next year, it'll be more expensive than BMW
Just for fun. Don't take this seriously

Hm, in some cases, is true. Try to buy a 530i in China, and use the same amount of money to get a E60 in Germany, and see what you can get with that sum.

Of course M5 in China costs twice as much as M5 in US
