I have been going to China fairly frequently over the past 4 years, and the people I meet there are concerned about quality. They learn fast from mistakes, and if it is explained to them, they understand quality issues and take aciton. I think this is especially true with respect to high tech. China wants to compete on a global scale, and that means more than mass production of clothing, or rubber bands, or most of the other "Made in China" things you can buy pretty much anywhere in the rest of the world. I think people in China know that if they want to compete with more intricate, higher margin products, they need to have quality control.
I'm curious, what kind of factories is your father visiting, where are they, and what do they produce? max _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
