It doesn't matter where it made. Toyota cars made in many countries. so its Japanies cars or Canadians or Americans or Europeans?
Welp. Toyota claims that "Tundra is american car and manufacturing does not meet Japanese standards" in their Japanese dealerships. So I guess Toyota itself is not considering the Texas made stuff to be Japanese cars... There is a reason why people are obsessed with JDM (Japanese Domestic Market)...

Either way. As a consumer, I only care about which factory and which people made a product. For my sake Harley Benton are indonessian guitars, Ford are German cars (I am european so majority of Ford gets here from German HQ and is designed in Germany for Euro market), and everything made in ESN is a German rubber because they share a lot of the same characteristics.

PS we were not talking about where brand is located. For me Chinese rubber means a rubber made in China.

It might not matter terribly much in the future once everything is homogenized and everyone has the same tech, but for now, it really does matter if it was made in Germany or China. It definitely matters for cars! :p

I think Loki is the first Chinese brand that has acquired similar/same? technology as the ones used by ESN and will start making genuinely "German-style Chinese rubbers", but I'm not surprised if someone else has independently developed something similar that I'm not aware of.

Rumors are, that next year spring there will be first attempts.
