For my experience working with Chinese and other peoples' reports of the same?
I have worked for a company that has outsourced production to a Chinese company. They would try new trick every other month. Replacing parts for cheaper substitutes, skipping process steps, using counterfeit components. You point it out, they fix it, then they do the same when you are not looking at their hands.
Every time they are being polite about it, but you know, this happening almost every shipment is not an accident.
And even when you come with a solid proof they bend backwards to not admit they did it.
Read up on some other horror stories of outsourcing production to China.
Successfully outsourcing to China usually requires a sizable fleet of lawyers, constant presence at the production facility and inspecting every shipment for adherence to the contract.
Again, don't you understand the reason for why you buy Chinese from Chinese company and it immediately falls apart? Or tries to kill you? The Chinese companies that try to make quality products are a small minority. They do exist, my Andonstar soldering microscope and Rigol osciloscope is a proof of it, but they are an exception.
I lived in China for a year and vouch for this type of behaviour. It’s just considered normal in China. The really odd thing is that when you call them out on it, they are super polite. Eg they will always try to give foreigners fake money but after a while you can spot the fakes “zhe shi jia de!!”, you say (This is fake!) and they apologise and give you a real one. At the same time, you earn respect from them. It’s just all very odd but you get used to it. Whilst I enjoyed living in China, I don’t want to ever go back.
Yea I think parent is more worried about being PC than being truthful. All of the points mentioned were true, they just aren't PC.
Gutter oil has been outlawed for a good minute now, yet it gets into even the restaurants, I've friends from mainland China who say even if you stay away from street vendors eventually you will eat it, so people just give up worrying about it.
Myriad and many are the stories of factories taking specs and running off to start a cheaper knockoff competitor.
Sometimes the truth sucks. I used to dream of visiting China, now I'd be scared to.
