Yes, and a bicycle or moped are more practical. Segway is a great solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

And if it really breaks that fast, it won't sell then, and Chinese people don't want that. They are the world's most skillful manufacturers, their skills mostly are not for quality but for it's notorious ability to strip down resources & materials yet still make the final product usable, well, kind of. It won't break down right away, that's for sure.

This is too extreme, it's like laughing at your younger brother because he is shorter than you.
Decades ago, Americans made toxic food much much more that Chinese did today, and a lot of Americans died because of that.
And by the way, it's MELAMINE.
