Hunkt Saga (Zotye TS5)

Is this Tie Niu and Zotye trying to remain afloat via the latest of offshoots, Hanlong Hunkt of Hebei?

Perhaps due to the organizational structure of the Tieniu group, these "associate" companies are sufficiently insulated, at least at this point in time, from being drawn into bankruptcy/restructuring/revitalization proceedings involving the core Zotye/Jiangnan cluster of companies. Zotye had suspended production from January but Hanteng and Dorcen were still active in June. Hanlong's production stats are not available, so I can't say about that company, although a few dozen units of Canticie are being sold regularly every month. However, as part of the same ecosystem, Zotye's woes will begin to affect these legally "at-arm's-length" offshoots eventually, given the mutual technological/financial interdependence (common suppliers, shared components, interlinked cash flows, etc.).
