Within several hours, visitors at a car auction in Qingdao, eastern China, bought up 150 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Jeep Wrangler Rubicons, the state-run Beijing News reported on Feb. 29. The imported vehicles were being sold at nearly half their normal market prices.
The problem is that the cars were also at the scene of the massive kiloton-scale chemical explosions that shook the 8-million-strong port city of Tianjin last August and killed hundreds of people.
