China bombs still bombs if way under limits?

There is no such thing as a "China Bomb".

This is a fallacy put forth by those that do not understand the global manufacturing market, have never been to a high tech manufacturing plant in China (as I have),dont realize some of the best brands in the world are Mfg in China to exacting standards and continue to spread misinformation about China and it's people.

Maybe just because they are Chinese?

The Chinese are the highest paid and best educated and most literate of all of Asia's workforces except the for the Japanese.

My feeling is that those that continue to pound this drum have ulterior motives based in Cultural, Racial and political differences, NOT the quality of the manufacturing.

I bet if you did a poll on how many cheap OEM tires blew up vs. better tires you'd be surprised. It just so happens that near 100% of those are made in China. The name didnt invent itself. How about the massive recall that Westlake had a few years back which was a main worry of mine? Sure domestic tires have the same recalls but most seem much happier with better made tires vs. a generic. I bet a lot of the OEM brand tires are made side by side in the same place. I am sure many tires could have been or were abused and they would have blown up period but there are just as many that followed the rules to the letter and they still failed.

99% of sunglasses are all made by Luxotica based in Italy from $300 Oakley's to no-names. Doesnt mean the no-names are as well made as the high dollar stuff even taking away the marketing and hype built into them.

Do the Chinese make great stuff? Sure, 99% of the electronics we buy are from China from Apple to my cheap alarm clock.

BTW - I am Asian and proud of it so I have no bone to pick with them. If there is a tire made in China that gets fantastic reviews I'll buy it. All I know is when tires like the Goodyear Marathon went from Akron, OH to China people started having issues.
