Welcome Elaine! I think it is AWESOME that somebody from the Asian bike industry is a member here! A thousand welcomes!
There is an on-going and growing debate about carbon fiber bike products manufactured in Asia. The majority of Asian bike company haters have ZERO actual hands-on experience with anything sold directly from Asian companies. The haters' position on the subject is based on nothing except "urban myth" and an almost xenophobic fervor in support of Western-marketed "brand names".
Hopefully -- with your point of view as both someone who is enthusiastic about cycling as well as someone who is an industry insider -- your insight can help to debunk some of the myths and bigoted misconceptions the haters have about Asian-made bikes and whatnot.
Looking forward to hearing more from you, Elaine!
Yes. For Asia bike companies, especially from China, people may have misunderstanding towards them. Maybe because they think we don't know about cycling, but we just make them. Yes. We were poor for a long time, and at the beginning, we just needed orders to help pay our food and our rent. Now, as we are growing, we don't have so much burden on the shoulders, we also are growing the passion into the sports, and grow passion about the technology that makes the sports more fun.
Cycling has changed my personality a lot. I used to feel sorry about myself and my family background a lot. Right now, I become loving lives more and enjoying the beauty that cycling brings me every day.
