Disregarding issues with politics or privacy, I find the rise of Chinese manufacturing quality astonishing. I ordered all kinds of consumer articles in the last 20 years and the improvements have been big and steady. In recent years they also leapfrogged on the service front, like how AliExpress offers Amazon-like return policy despite having fraction of the infra and the wares under tax sanctions. I see not only more chinese cars, but construction and medical equipment. Price/performance is always excelling.
One would think this would trigger some sort of revival and competing from US/EU industries, but not much had happened yet besides lobbying for sanctions.
- rsynnott 1y agoI’m not sure why you’re surprised. Basically since large-scale industrial manufacture started, country industrialises, quality is initially poor, a few decades later it's international standard. 150 years ago the British were marvelling at this happening with Germany and the US, but you'd think at this point people would be used to it.
