The difference is seen in the response to the complaints about quality.
The Japanese went on to out-Demming the US.
The Chinese are blaming unknown persons, the US importers, blah, blah, blah, and taking no responsibility for their problems.
The Japanese created many quality brands as a result of how they took consumer criticism.
The Chinese are doing nothing but pissing off the consumer with their actions to date.
There is a difference.
Didn’t a China Airways plane just burst into flames on a runway?
They don’t even bother to maintain their aircraft, why would they take anything else seriously?
