OK, did they pay the English or did they just shamelessly copy their
original design?


BWAAHAAHAAHAAAHAAA!

You're a very funny fellow. Or perhaps oblivious to the reputation that
Chinese companies have for stealing technology and design from the West.

One has to give them cred for persistance tho, even copying the "all
steel" slogan!


That's not generally how the originators of tech and design see it...
