In Reply to: RE: again with blaming the Chinese... posted by PakProtector on April 30, 2017 at 05:55:01
This China-bashing, while not entirely unwarranted, is no longer helpful. Lots of fantastic things come from China, including consumer products. They are very well made. The Lite Audio transport and DAC I currently use are a good example - but certainly not the only one.
Manufacturers will make whatever you want them to. If you want it cheap and are a greedy manufacturer, they will make it. If you want luxurious, they will make that too. Let's not forget that museums around the world are full of the most exquisite, achingly beautiful pieces of craftsmanship *ever made* from China and many of the high-end consumer goods people use (Apple, for example) are successfully made there without much fanfare.
Enough already.

Everything fitting that description - even in the Shanghai Museum itself - is pre-Mao, pre-Cultural Revolution. I've been to that museum and others within China numerous times. Your description does not apply to the state of Chinese craftsmanship today.

I'm sure Apple would disagree with you. And just look at the rubbish Line Magnetic produce. The scoundrels.

TK's comments regarding China on various audio asylum threads border on racism.
The world has been subjected to American economic rationalism for the past half century which has now destroyed itself, witness GFC / Wall street collapse, Donald Trump etc !
China is simply a by-product of all of that !
Remember the US administration in the 70's that banned the import of licensed 'Fender' manufactured guitars from Japan because they were so much better in quality & pricing !
America have left the door ajar for decades regarding product quality & are now paying the price.
The introduction of 'Total Quality Management' (TQM) was a recognition by the Reagan administration to address the decline of USA military & manufacturing.

And here we go with the race card again....
Reason why I stay off twitter, Facebook and all the other social media pages....please don't turn this forum into one of those.
My old man always said you get what you pay for, accurate statement in any country including the US.

In my experience, you don't always get what you pay for, but you never get what you don't pay for. :^)
I'll just mention that when PJ and I were kids "Made in Japan" was an oft used expression of great disgust for poorly made products.
There are huge differences between the absorption of that island nation's broken economy after the war and our apparent desire to raise a billion peasant farmers out of poverty. Remember what Khrushchev said? He just got the country wrong. China will bury us.
