That being said, it's not reflected in current Chinese carbon frames. Prices are pretty much the same they were a year ago or even higher while Western brands are cutting prices heavily due to stock not moving.
So either they are still getting good sales or haven't understood the current economics.
the domestic market is very very strong at the moment...so manufacturers do not see the need of changing anything..carbonframes still are pricy and ltwoo and wheeltop still are slow with r+d for faulty products, as they are sellling huge amounts for gear for the domestic market...
After the quantity drop of european distributors following corona, domestic sales kind of saved the chinese bike industry, as they have invested alot into infrastructure to cope with the corona sales....
