Poor quality not helping Chinese EVs

[LenEV2016]

Not sure if anyone has seen this, Omoda 5 in Asia, driving along and rear axle collapsed.
The close ups don't give a lot of faith in the quality of parts/ workmanship.

That's poor welding, be it either manual or robotic, around 50% has not penetrated into the parent metal creating a crack, and that has rusted . The portion that has joined properly has then had to take the stresses and forces which should be shared across the whole welds and fractured due to it not being large enough and consequently now being over stressed for its cross sectional area.
