SA amazed by price of Polo in China

China has shared how little they cared about losing the US market estimated to be 15%. After the American president, Donald Trump initiated a tariff war, China showed up guns blazing and outed America’s luxury lies.

Over the weekend, Chinese people logged onto social media to plug people with reliable suppliers who manufactured goods for some of the most luxurious brands. One guy who named himself Jack Mabaso, spoke to South African people about a car they adored, the VW Polo.

Mabaso shared that the starting price for a VW Polo in China is R179K, while it’s R355K in South Africa:

“It’s about 98% higher than ours.”

He acknowledged that the car is made in South Africa and argued that the car parts are imported from China with a 20% tariff:

“Where is that 78%? Don’t blame your government too much, I actually like Ramaphosa.”

Mabaso shared that although the car is cheaper in his country, people don’t like it:

“Last month, only 64 Polos were sold in China.”

South Africans were excited by the information and planned to splurge majorly on Chinese goods that were once reserved for wealthy people, including iPhones and Hermès bags that many celebrities saw as financial investments.
