If the IH plan is to build a high capacity production plant like an auto plant, you want to make sure that the bugs are all worked out before you build 1000 units a month, and if the plan is to sell these units in China, then regulations and certifications can go by the boards since the Chinese can not breath too well now. The Chinese are living in an earlier century.
