You don't know/possess their typical social mentality to understand what's within them (that leads them to cheat, or plagiarism so to speak). Afterall: most of their automobile manufacturers are somewhat state-owned (with joint foreign ventures, prime example such as Dongfong, etc.), and they can literally cheat/lie through their teeth and substitute sub-par components w/o you knowing it. Plagiarism at it's finest:

Poor souls will sell their name plate and their reputation to the chinese, and ended up in ruins. high end marques would rather keep their brand and uphold their reputation by keeping it in their own soils.
