Roewe IS Rover

They have trouble with the "v", so they changed the name slightly.

As for Chinese air safety, I flew one of Air China Southerns 777's out of Guangzhou in 2014, and have never been so scared in all my life; we had a 4 hour delay in Beijing while they used lump hammers to get a seat back into the upright position, and what felt like a totally broken l/h brake that caused the aircraft to swerve violently right every time the brakes were applied on landing, at Beijing and again in Frankfurt.

You could see how shit scared the cabin crew were every time we came in to land.

Taking off from Beijing was no picnic either, the aircraft cabin was visibly twisting in the air turbulence; I thought it was going to tear in half.

Since then, all my flights into and out of China have either been on Western airlines or Emirates.
