Default Cessna To Build Skycatcher Overseas Despite Cheap Dollar

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.
