Quality
You can get quality products in China, but quality management must be an active and rather hands-on activity: Chinese suppliers' approach to quality is different: (for example, 100 % inspection or simple labor intensive inspections are frequent), standard requirements are lower than for a typical Western customer, and in general, “whatever can go wrong will go wrong”, unless it is explicitly managed. You will find in this page some stories relating this reality of quality management in China:
