Déjà vu all over again?

On the issue of quality, 50 years people were still dismissing the quality of Japanese products; 20 years later Japanese goods epitomized quality at reasonable prices. Will we see this from China? I say count on it -- and it won't take 20 years.

In the bigger picture, greed prevails. No use whining about lack of human rights, worker welfare, industrial polution, trade deficit or the like: consumers will buy Chinese goods if their cheaper, and especially if they're perceived to be better values. North American, European, and yes! Japanese domestic manufacturers can kiss their butts go buy. And this is likely to be true even if they outsource assembly to China, because the Chinese makers are already seeking their own brand recognition and will succeed in getting it before long.
