    Yes......have designed two set with seat belts to accommodate an extra person for the countries that require it...China isn’t the only country, there is at least one other.

    Interesting to see the factory pics- it truly is on a whole different scale over there.
    I have heard a story of a Chinese facility making forged wheels for railway rollingstock- just shy of 10K employees, factory is the size of a small town, with around the clock shifts. They employees were shuttled between the 'city' of skyscrapers / apartments nearby by the employer, and the workers were fed and sheltered as part of the deal.
    Yes I assume the factory I went too was tiny compared other factories.

    Well 21 days has passed and QANTAS haven’t found my bag......

    The claim process they asked for proof of ownership of all items in the bag, hell who keeps receipts for cloths?? And going though online statement me is hell as well. I also found out in the fine print that airlines don’t cover electronics in checked in baggage. They could have told me this on day 1 not day 21.

    Anyways they have offered 50% of replacement cost minus electronics.

    Grrrrrr
