The answers, in my view, are ... no they won't ... and ... no they won't.
This of course, is the country that in recent weeks has seen several large chemical explosions, one decimating an entire port town and killing hundreds, and a lady sucked into an escalator to her death in a swanky Shanghei shopping centre. Health and safety is not a high priority in this place.

Can you please argument why 2 billions of people in a state with an economic growth of +10% are not interested in buy new cars?
And by the way, a round in WRC is not made only for selling cars in that nation but for several other reasons. China is very different from 80s or 90s, they are not dumb people with a strange language and very good in karate and in rice harvest. It is better, and fair, if we take them into account.

Jost Capito said VW programme is safe. He talked with VW's board as soon as he heard about the scandal (which is a lie because they had something else to think about).

When the board and all decision making management of VW is officially under investigation and the total amount of worldwide claims is uncertain, Jost Capito knows

Don't worry, "young man" is good from him. He could have called you girl or kid, young man has a bit of respect.
