I have done a small amount of work on some low hour Chinese trucks. Helis, Hytsu and Baoli. Pretty much every job turned to crap, being more difficult than you would expect. Sometimes the design just sucked, other times the parts failed at ridiculously low hours. Things like hub seals, handbrake cables and direction levers. A fuel tank sender that can't float up or down properly because they do not fit the tank shape.
Kingpin needle bearings that are a size that is not available from bearing suppliers.
I have heard some pretty scary stories about some Chinese Toyotas as well.
If you need one truck buy two Chinese ones might be a good idea and then rent one in when they are both broken.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
