I remember years ago when I was in the electronic service business and
Japan was just coming into the business, they made absolute JUNK! We
technicians hated working on the junk. One of the main issues was the
metal used for the chassis. We called it "pressed beer cans". It was
oily, almost impossible to solder to, a living hell to work with.
Chinese make absolute JUNK. If any item has China stamped on it, I don't
get it. Now years later Japan makes top of the line stuff. I suppose
China will eventually do the same, but until then I want no part of
their crap. If you think the metal is an issue, check into their food
industry. You will stop eating!!! Tom N4RS
Correct in general, but there exceptions.
As long as you are purchasing significant quantities, you can demand and
get good quality - if you have the right partner.The Chinese have this
mindset that price is the deciding factor when selling to the west.
Basically you have to make them understand (up front) that you are going
to negotiate quality with them as well as price. After you have returned
a few lots of goods, they get the message and either break off the
relationship or improve their quality.
