Made in China - good or bad??

I go to China on business regularly and an article in the Shanghai Daily (Communist Party censored English Language paper) caught my eye today:

This written by Zong Lei - a freelancer living in Kazakhstan:

Judging from their views on China I believe many Western media outlets are biased against China.....Western media are often too mean, or even manipulative in their reports about (goods produced) in China..........the unfriendliness, if not hostiality towards China seems deep rooted.......... I despise these lazy Western journalists who fabricate ideas out of no-where.

Yeah right - ask Matel and Sheriden if they are fabricated.
The funny thing is that on the opposite page of the same newspaper was the following article:

10% of locally produced kitchen hoods and 30% of those made outside the city failed local quality inspections, due to problems with power supplies which showed that certain brands had electric wires that could easily cause a fire when they over-heated

Bear in mind that they failed 'local quality inspection'!!!

Now I am not trying to knock Chinese made products - I have many of them, and I am here to improve one section of Chinese manufacturing but who are they kidding!!

Buyer beware!!!
