Some of us are old enough to remember that after WWII the stuff imported from Japan was all junk. Now days some of the best stuff on the market is made in Japan. I suspect the same will happen with China given enough time and a demand for higher quality products from consumers here. But as long as we continue to buy the cheapest stuff we can find at Walmart (rather than shopping for best-quality-for-the-dollar) it will take a long time for that to happen. In the meantime our buying habits will continue to place pressure on quality manufacturers (here and elsewhere) making it hard for them to survive.
As painful as it may be, American auto manufacturers owe their current level of quality to the Japanese. When Toyota became the best selling vehicles in California, the BIG 3 investigated to find out how that could happen. The answer was quality for the price. No surprisingly, the Japanese learned about Quality Control from an American, an individual that American companies chose to ignore.
The only advantages that the Chinese have over American manufacturing, is a TOTAL disregard fo worker safety, environmental concern, patent law, quality control, consumer safty, or anything else regarding morals or integrity. Other than that, it is a level playing field.
