    Yet....you keep buying there shabby products.

    Whatever the market will bear.
    Certainly when the market of consumers are half asleep.

    The quality of mass produced items of every nature is crap.
    Doesn't matter whose making the shite.
    New business - manufactured good are built to be replace or repaired in a short time....where as in the good old days, things were of better quality to last.

    Indeed.

    Y'all remember the Korean Hyundai? Pretty good vehicles coming out today.

    The Chinese are building a car up there called BMD - Build My Dream and by all accounts, it's not a shabby vehicle.

    Agreed. I would have no problem driving a Hyundai.

    However there are some lemons being built in China that should be avoided.
    The ncap rating goes from 1 to 5 stars, 5 being the top score.
    This car scored zero.

    I called that mass-produced Chinese car the wrong name. It's a BYD - Build Your Dream. Our Guide had one when we were up there in Nov and it's solid enough for the money but too many cars on the roads in the larger cities.

    still crap, yet the sheep lap it all up, then complain that our manufacturing bases have disappeared.

    Planned obsolescence has been perfected beyond the wildest dreams of the manufacturers just a few decades ago. It's the engine of the economy, after all. Particularly easy to build into anything that has a chip, which gets a kill switch.

    So Hyundai makes good cars now, you think? Indeed, I've never seen a more blatant copy of the Benz S-Class than the Hyundai Genesis.

    china makes cheap stuff because manufacturers ask them to. They are perfectly capable of producing quality items but it wont be cheap anymore.

    Yep...
    No one wants to admit that they're prone to consumer addiction at any cost.

    Need to accumulate more crap.
    Not a decent value whatsoever?

    Don't care. I need to consume.

    Massed produced crap, and as you term it is produced everywhere in the world and has been for the past half century.

    Over the last 2 decades china has set up some absolutely brilliant fully automated mass production lines which produce the same product that could be produced in Germany, the UK and America and for example.

    The mere fact that the Chinese have more favourable business tax concessions including cheaper living costs, not to mention that they run these production lines at 100% capacity, unlike the West which turn the efficiency down because they are lazy grunts, will see them undercut the west because they work harder.

    How long it will take the West to realize the above facts is anyone's guess but until they do you will see China continue to improve and become an even bigger pain in the West's economic neck.

    What a sad numpty you are. You actually believe you can sell that? Incredible statements.

    BTW that last bridge that collapsed, (supposedly from fireworks exploding) was the seventh (7th) one since 2011 in China. Sell you're "quality work and workers," to someone else. I ain't buying it.

    Coal mines explosions, try that one out? Workers not allowed to take a piss call? Stuffed into dormitories like sardines in a can? 16 hour work days?

    Yup, workers around the world shake with fear at the thought of Chinese quality standards. Cheap is Cheap. Next you will tout North Korea?

    Poor Briton, god save the Queen.

    You obviously have not worked in China so I receive your post as uneducated garbage.

    There has been no mine explosions elsewhere in the world over the past few years, train crashes, bridges coming down?

    When you consider the volume of product China exports a year (not only for their own consumer consumption) these type of disasters are terrible but sometimes unavoidable.

    You carry on posting with your head up your arse and be left behind as many others like you will be that have been influenced by doctored western press.
