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
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
