The ISO9001 approved standard kinda establishes this. Its a set of guidelines that a manufacturer has to agree to in order to be given the title.Totally agree with Damo. Gone are the days when China & Taiwan meant inferior technology or construction.
Today there is technological parity in most parts of the world, and most products are almost as good as their competitors, regardless of where they are made. Today's consumer demands an uncompromised level of quality, and the manufacterers have to deliver it or lose the customer.
CHinas doing great now, but like places before them, the production side of things will boom to the point where it will no longer be cost effective to build there. Were a few years from that, though.The huge difference then becomes price. China's got this gig perfected. For a couple of decades there was a gap in what they wanted to produce versus what came out, but no more. All the tech in the world, and a huge undemanding workforce = cheap drums, cars, tvs, whatever......
Watch out, here cometh the Chinese Drangon and its going to eat us all up alive !
Next stop, Zaire!
