If your ISO 9000 demanding customer is happy with the product from the
"cheap Chinese shop", you must either lose this two faced customer, or
accept that the Chinese shop might just also comply with ISO 9000!

Anyway, I would not be too concerned about the Chinese problem - a few
years from now their general workers will also want the nicer things in life
and that would bring a quick end to cheap labour.

The Chinese are seriously courting African countries now and investing
billions (see latest offer to fully finance Zimbabwe's reconstruction,
complete with currency swop!) This is going to be the next source of their
cheap labour.

If this happens, rest assured - very few products will ever reach world
markets. They'll either be destroyed in civil wars / never started due to
corruption or stolen before leaving the factories.

Perhaps Western machinists / manufacturers should concentrate on satisfying
a smaller, quality conscious, higher paying market rather than trying to
compete at the bottom of the cesspool. There will always be products that
have to be high quality and this is where the better machinists /
manufacturers will thrive.

Haven't most of us learnt about buying the cheap crap and regretting it soon
after. Let idiots continue to do so - it is an extension of the "Darwin
principle". They will either progress to become a quality conscious client
or continue being an idiot. I know which one I'd prefer as a customer. I
love a market segment where price is of minor importance.
