While i don't doubt the chinese market is incredibly regulated, this car handle is a terrible trend started by tesla. Many cases were people couldn't open their cars because because it's eletronic was damaged. There is open investigations open in the US about the same thing too. If frozen, the thing becomes impossible to open too. And the manual handle inside is also known for being easily forgotten in cases of panic.
