"Made in Japan" was a joke? Let me guess, after WW2? It's extremely hard to believe that you are not making a racist diatribe now that you brought in post-war racist sentiment towards the Japanese.

I see it in almost everything I buy that comes from china and is on the low end. I did cite my high-end camera body as a counter-example. there are some, I admit that; but it is in the minority and most goods that come from china are cost-optimized to the point of being, well, just plain unsafe! is this saying that china can't change? of course not! I do remember a time when 'made in japan' was a joke and no one wanted those goods. a few decades later, it was a complete turn-around. nothing saying the chinese can't do that as well. but the state of things NOW is that its mostly low-cost and often unsafe goods coming from that region. partly due to the greed in the non-chinese parent companies but I don't let the local chinese manufacturers off the hook entirely, either. they often are doing 'bad things' beyond what the parent company had specified. effectively making things twice as worse ;( |
