Not sure that’s entirely true, especially if we’re talking cars. Volkswagen China is around 50% of VW sales, and Mercedes sells 40+% in China for example. If we’re talking US cars, they’re typically too focused on US market desires for other countries.

With mandatory transfers of all technology and giving up 51% ownership of the forced joint ventures?

Again, it’s not Mercedes selling cars in China. It’s some joint venture that’s majority owned by the Chinese that has forcibly taken Mercedes tech and has made millions of cars using it. You can’t compare a Mercedes in the USA and China and say they are equivalent
