  > There is a name for that. It's called Chinesium. That reminds me of a scene in Back to the Future where 1955 Doc Brown mocks a failed Japanese-made component based solely on his stereotypes, and 1985 Marty corrects him and says the Japanese make the best stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1QcjsjjtRc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1QcjsjjtRc

    Is there any economical incentive for China to produce higher quality goods?

      Yes. Higher profit margins. Whereas before you were making bad copies of $50 goods, now you make a good copy of $1500 goods. Those more expensive goods carry higher margins.

      Obviously. Higher end products attract higher margins and a reputation for quality is a good differentiator compared to competing on price. For example, Huawei is (or was...) going after Apple in the high end smartphone market and they produce extremely good quality products.
