I am amazed at how cheaply they can make stuff. Cheap energy, low cost of living and lax regulations make for a productive society.
In my experience Chinese people are really hard working, something I admire. I wouldn't want to live there and deal with the pollution however.
On Amazon.ca, they have the 50cc scooters for 1k and the 150cc for 1.5k + 5.50 shipping. This is in CDN which is about 30% less than the USD.
I would rather have an open class dirt bike but those are just shy of 20K, not happening.
