Just you wish. At last CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas you could see Chinese copy EVERYTHING: electronic components, measuring equipment, phones, electronic tablets, industrial carrying cases, 3D printers, drones, segway, and on and on. Similar to what Japanese and S. Koreans were doing for many years also. You have to survive. Not bad for all of human kind in a way. In general you get what you pay for. For that reason I would never buy Chinese lathe/mill combo again or a CNC machine. I wish Middle Eastern folks would figure this out by now. The only exception is Israel which presented a number of innovations at CES. My guess is that others from the ME were not encouraged to come to CES and present suicide wests and other inventions they so feverishly work on. After everybody gets rich, we'll start wars and repeat the cycle. -- Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
