it's not quite that simple, assuming China has an import tax of 100%, you would have to sell your car for $32.5k to sell it for $65k in China.

My point was that if you sell for $65k, it would cost someone buying over there $130k. Good luck selling your car.

Hong Kong has always been like this too, even when it was owned by the Brittish.

I think most people there have more important things to worry about (putting food on the table) and if you're wealthy enough to think about what car you'll buy, i don't think how much it costs is a very big issue.
