The stuff made in china can range from crap to really good. -- It all depends on the requirements of the company contracting with the chinese manufacturer. -- Some international brands will have their products made in china, and they do require very high quality,.. but they pay for it. It's still cheaper to have it made in china, but it costs more than the 90% of the stuff coming out of china that is junk.
I read in one of the bike mags (Motorcyclist maybe) that the chinese motorcycle industry at the moment is where the japs were in the 60s. IOW, in a few years, watch out! We will be flooded with cheap innovative motorcycles that compete with the japs in quality.
They DO know how to build high-quality stuff, and build it at low cost. When they start exporting products that actually are high-quality to our markets, and the word gets around, they'll grab even a larger share of it.
