I think you missed my point. I did mention in my post that not everything coming out of China is low quality. What I was getting at was every time I hear someone say “Cheap ________ made crap,” the word Chinese is normally in the blank. The Chinese are willing to manufacture lower end products. I don’t think most Japanese manufacturing concerns are willing to do so anymore because they do not wish to have the blank space in the line above be filled in with “Japanese.” Some of this is driven by pride in workmanship. The Chinese do not have a monopoly on low quality products. Just take a look at the quality of much of the manufacturing output of Elkhart, Indiana. China is an emerging and growing economy with much based on manufacturing. I was just wondering/speculating if there will come a time when China decides it is not beneficial to their manufacturing reputation to produce low end/low quality products for the world.
I own many Chinese made products, some of which a very high quality, others not so much.
