Is it just me, or is China having a Quality problem?

Apparently, they’ve never heard of 6-sigma.

Maybe that’s why their junk is so cheap.

China, meet US regulations which can make US products more expensive to produce and/or make US workers more expensive to hire.

End China’s free ride to economic and military superpower.

Vote Duncan Hunter. The ONLY man still referiing to these enemies as the “communist Chinese”

So ingest no food from China. Now eat no food off china from China. How about buy nothing from China. We didn’t need it anyway. Good advice.

They are not the Japanese.

One of the many issues with outsourcing. You get what you pay for.

Chi Comms have a meeting: “America cares about quality? Who knew! We give this crap to our own serfs, er, people, and no one complains!”

Try sourcing a computer that doesn’t have parts made in China.

Maybe that’s why their junk is so cheap.

The cost of complying with government regulation is a significant amount. However, as we're learning, there are very good reasons for some government regulation. On the other hand, competitors could capitalize on this news by advertising their lead-free products as an alternative. The market can regulate where the government cannot.

You saw this coming 2 years ago.

Here is your post from 2005

You were right again.

Hmmm, I'd forgotten I got an email about this a couple months ago, until I read this article.

Think I'll be resending that link along with this article to a few friends.

Come on - they invented six sigma 4,000 years ago in the Middle Kingdom, however reporting bad production numbers for your military run slave labor factory usually results in a very quick onset of lead poisioning.

Well if it ain’t Po it’s Pb.

The Russkies use polonium, the Chinese use lead. And if the Russians aren’t poisoning their own citizens, the Chinese are exporting their poison. I think it’s a good idea to just not set foot in Asia for awhile.

[Holicheese]

Well, they found a way to get rid of their mercury (Compact Florescent bulbs) and they needed a way to get rid of all that old lead from semiconductors and computer monitors they had laying around.

Six Sigma only works if one actually cares about the end product.

[Right Wing Assault]

Isn’t it great to trade with China? Makes you appreciate what little stuff we still make here.

[sweetiepiezer]

Thanks for posting.

China has no standards and cannot meet our regulations.

There is a reason their products are so cheap.

[Paperdoll]

I know. But there are things less necessary we can do without.

PING!
