Whether it is smartphones or vehicles, there is just no respect for
the creation of something. Anyways, no person with money is going to
buy this knockoff. I want the real thing!

China is famous for many things, but a deeply-held respect for the
concept of intellectual property isn't one of them. It's a problem
that Land Rover has just run into head-first after its claims that the
Land Wind X7 was a shameless copy of its Range Rover Evoque fell upon
deaf ears. Autocar is reporting that, not only did authorities dismiss
the complaint, but the Chinese company has been given permission to
start manufacturing the vehicle.

The saga began at last November's Guangzhou Motor Show, where Land
Wind showed off its SX7 for the first time. Unfortunately, executives
at Land Rover were also at the show, and promptly lodged a complaint
with regulators. Autocar goes on to say that the British car maker
won't take this recent news sitting down, and will continue to look
into other ways of preventing the X7 reaching the market.
