[QUOTE="Livin the Dream?, post: 537100, member: 21891"] Everyone on the planet with any interest in it is familiar with the lead paint, tainted drug, etc. stories. They are true. To simply make a blanket statement "The Chinese products are crap, inferior" is not telling the entire story. The way a Chinese business is run, almost every aspect, would be completely alien to someone from the US on first glance. It is not someone sitting in an office saying "we'll cheat here, here & here, make it for less, and screw 'em", it is a completely foreign concept of what quality is. Take their cars - the best quality car they make is on par with a 1984 Toyota; In 1984, it was the cream of the crop. In China, it is the best of the best. Elsewhere, is is dated, poor quality, crap. It is the expectations of what "top quality" is that is different, it is not intent. I only have experience with Chinese manufacture of automobiles, automotive, and electromechanical parts. If I were to spec out a 30kw motor, 600v, aluminum alloy hub-motor, tell my contacts in China to design/build one, it would most probably be delivered to me and I would say "this is crap". I guarantee you, though, that my contact in China would feel it was the accomplishment of his career in quality. It is a culture thing, not an intent to make poor quality. To correct this, I spec out what I need EXACTLY, what alloys to use, what tolerances are acceptable, every single specification. And the parts are made as well as they are made here. Attached is one picture of an item I have manufactured. To have this made in the USA would cost me just over $16,000, and it would be delivered to me within 3 months. I have it made in China instead, to my exact specs - It costs me under $3,000, and I have it in my hands in less than 3 weeks. And it is exactly to spec. You may also notice - it is not a Barbie doll.[IMG]http://www.glevp.com/Part.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
