From a press release by Harley-Davidson Inc.


HARLEY-DAVIDSON OPENS ITS FIRST AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP IN EAST CHINA

Harley-Davidson opened its first authorized dealership in East China on Nov. 3, 2007 in Shanghai. Jim Ziemer, CEO of Harley-Davidson Inc., David Foley, Harley-Davidson Asia Inc.'s Managing Director for China, and Mr. Wan Jiwen, Manager of Shanghai Harley-Davidson, took part in a special ceremony activating an eye-catching flame-display of the well-known Harley-Davidson Bar & Shield logo.

The dealership in southwest Shanghai offers a range of the Company's imported premium American-built motorcycles, Genuine Motor Parts and Accessories, and Harley-Davidson's stylish MotorClothes apparel. Customers visiting the showroom will have an opportunity to sample the Harley-Davidson culture and spirit. Factory-trained personnel will be on hand to guarantee a genuine Harley-Davidson experience. Shanghai Harley-Davidson will share the fun, passion, and lifestyle of Harley-Davidson with all customers and enthusiasts.

"We are very excited to announce the official launch of Shanghai Harley-Davidson," said Ziemer. "We look forward to getting to know Shanghai's Harley-Davidson fans!"

Few have commented however when that very large factory rose in Bejing with the Bar & Shield. . . .

Trade is a two-way street.

Court, does that mean they are assembling the bikes there? What is the factory there doing?

I do not know what is going on. I have a badweb friend who is in Bejing and Singapore often.

A while back I got a call asking about the huge new plant under construction with the Bar and Shield logo.

No idea what's going on . . .

Maybe it's like the Brazil situation was when it started.

Multiple sub-assemblies shipped there and assembled, that way avoiding import tariffs.

China is similar to Korea who charges 26% tariff on our vehicles while we only charge 2% on theirs.

As long as we aren't building them there. My fear is that so much of our technology goes over there in factories, we are teaching the Chinese how to beat us!
