Side bar to the topic. My company produces educational equipment and some of our best sellers have been copied offshore. We field calls regularly where customers call to complain about "our" product quality and we have NO record of them buying our product. Usually it turns out to be a counterfit product of much lower quality. It is therefore interesting that the owner of our company and our Asia sales person are currently in mainland China for the opening of a big University lab. They equipped the Science lab with our equipment. Goes to show that even in China, quality matters and good quality is recognized. On the other hand, we do have product from China that does meet our quality standards. Just wanted to add that to get a viewpoint away from generalizations.
