Are Chinese cars just as bad in Australia as they are in Russia?

Hi.

I'm Russian, and since 2020, we've been seeing an influx of terrible pieces of garbage known as Chinese cars flooding our market. And let me tell you, they are absolute TRASH.

The climate here is harsh, and our roads get heavily salted during the winters. People who bought cars from some no-name Chinese brands have been complaining about how quickly their cars rust. Reliability is also a huge issue, and the build quality is just awful.

I did some research and found out that Australia has also been flooded with Chinese cars. So, I wanted to ask: are the Chinese selling terrible cars to Australians too, or is it just us Russians who get suckered into buying these lemons?
