This has puzzeled me for some time. We now use a lot of material in the homebuilding industry that is imported. Plywood, Stair parts, Door hardware etc. The quality of the imports is terrible. It looks like manufacturers would be able to make a better product with less expensive labor but the opposite is true.
The first people fired must be quality control.
By the way, never lean against a handrail or guardrail.
Yes, but...
Isn’t 67% of EVERYTHING in this country imported from China?
There’s no quality control in most of China’s raw material, tier 1 (sub-assembly) - manufacturing....most facilities process final product have no idea as to the products safety cause they do not test their own materials, just the ‘accounts receivable’.
That number doesn’t seem out of wack - I figured that 90% would have been Chinese imports - considering that it appears that 90% would be closer to the percentage of Chinese merchandise on WalMart shelves...
China has the same image that Japan had in the 1950’s... a source of low cost, low quality goods.
Thank you walmart shoppers.
May the job lost be yours.
I liked their Polytech and Norinco AKs, SKS’s and .45 caliber autopistols when they were being imported into the US. That’s all I liked from China.
