    In 1982, a Chinese delegation reached Turin for a joint venture. FIAT, the major Italian car maker (with a long and nefarious history), answered that in China there were no roads, and bicycles crowded the few there were.

    The delegation went to Munich, signed a deal with Volkswagen and that’s the story of how German car makers gained a foothold in the Chinese market.
