The next Q&A is interesting, one that I didn't know i.e. Michelin being churned out of China...

Question: Your opinion on Chinese-manufactured tyres, please. I am very uncomfortable about them, particularly with long-term use. Just recently I had a new set of tyres put on my Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace and I’m not sure whether I should change them. — Klaudia S
Answer: After investigating, your tyres are from the South Korean brand Hankook, which makes perfectly acceptable tyres. As yet, it’s too early to judge Chinese tyres but there are global brands that manufacture in China, including Michelin, and they will apply their normal quality standards.

So as I said, if they really wanted to deceive and hide the china owned factor, they would have just incorporated a company in europe, set chinese shareholdings through multi layer companies, and just have the vehicles coming out of China. How many people are going to stop buying Michelin just because its being churned out of China?
