[Steve Katz] I wouldn't condemn a nation of >1 billion for the
actions of a few hundred. I can't avoid buying some Chinese goods, as I
like their food, and use their chopsticks to eat it. My only problem with
Chinese electrical goods stems from having visited manufacturing plants in
ShenZhen and Beijing and noting that without American-trained (and typically
American born) manufacturing engineers and quality inspectors, they would
all run amok very quickly. Their propensity for making materials
substitutions (as in "hey, this costs a penny less and looks the same, let's
use it!") is ingrained in their mentality and very lifestyle, and has been
for thousands of years, so it's difficult to maintain configuration control
without careful surveillance. -WB2WIK/6
