Chinese Clone Mercedes W203

I was watching a video titled "New problems, ancient medicine" on cnn,... and at the beginning showing traffic in China there's what I first thought was a W203 sedan,... but upon closer inspection its a W203 Chinese clone! The grille (coupe), headlights (Bi-Xenons) and general shape of the car looks like a W203.
http://www.cnn.com/video/

Anyone know the maker & model name of this Mercedes W203 Chinese clone? Also, anyone have more photos of this Clone?

To make a quick buck. I am sure the cost of that thing might be a fraction of a cost of the real thing.
