The best quality rear upper suspension arms of late and notwithstanding the original Rover oem's have come from China. I will hold judgement and be thankful if something good can come of this.
I have a grandson who is married to a Chinese girl. She speaks perfect English with a slight accent.

I also have another grandson who is married to an Ethiopian girl again who speaks perfect English.

Finally a granddaughter who is married to an Indian. ( Not RED. Lol. )
