Surely you mean Japanese made cars... or German made gliders... or Austrian made airplanes (Diamond)... or Swiss made airplanes (Pilatus)... no, wait, Airbus... whatever. In general, when countries can produce something very inexpensively, they are in a phase of development where they also produce things that are of very poor quality. China is in that phase right now, producing junk at extremely low prices. The fact is, no matter where you make something, you can't get something for nothing. Quality always costs money. The low cost of manufacture in a Third World country is often closely linked to very low quality. Eventually the quality improves as the country develops, but so does the price. The most recent examples of this have been in the Far East. Postwar Japan produced junk at low prices. Today it produces high quality, but at high prices. |
