...a bit of Nissan there, some bits of Ford all over, and you got the Changan Eado XT.

They stole, most design bits, from other cars.

I think I saw one of these in Vinewood in GTAV.

Plus some Mazda 3, I'd say. That's pretty funny. The Chinese are Romans, while Americans and Japanese are Greeks. By using our findings, the Chinese save design and R&D money and will be able to use them as resources to, potentially, produce a superior car someday. Let's hope that's not the case, because that would be economically devastating to the current countries producing superior cars.

That's because it's a restyled Focus.
Chang'an has joint ventures with Ford.
There's a Eado sedan, too. Both are restyled Focus models.
There's a lot of models in China that are restyled versions of models from other companies, via joint ventures.
Examples include:
- Ciimo Si Ming, which is a rebadged Honda Civic, produced by Dongfeng Honda
- Everus S1, which is a rebadged Honda City, produced by Guangqui Honda
- Roewe 950, based on the Buick LaCrosse
- The whole Venucia brand, a joint venture between Dongfeng and Nissan.
Models include the R50 (Tiida/Versa hatch), D50 (Tiida/Versa sedan), and E50 (Nissan Leaf)

So what?
All design is derivative anyway.
I think they did a decent job of blending all those elements together.
