Does China make any quality products?
Factories in China sometimes churn out cheap, poor-quality products. But many are indeed capable of manufacturing products that are both high tech and high quality. In fact, many importers continue to find success sourcing products from China, even as manufacturing wages continue to climb there.
Is manufacturing leaving China?
Despite what surveys done in China suggest, the shift away of manufacturing is quite dramatic, and, in another five years, the manufacturing map of the world will look very different from what it does today. Surveys done by UBS globally suggest that 20-30% of manufacturing will be leaving China.
Does China have quality control?
China’s quality control refers to proactive measures taken by importers and their inspection agencies in China to guarantee product quality. To ensure you import quality products, China’s quality control process is designed to help you partner with the right supplier.
Is the quality of products made in China really that bad?
To summarise, there is nothing inherently bad about the quality of Chinese products. Many premium “high quality” products are already made in China. Buyers need to be careful to select suppliers based on their ability to deliver a quality product, not just on price.
Why is stuff from China so cheap?
Cheaper prices are due to a complex, national strategy of China to become the preeminent superpower of the 21st century. Because labor is only one part of the total cost of a product, and in many cases it’s as low as 20% of the total cost.
Why is China good at manufacturing?

Why is made in China bad quality?
Chinese-made goods mostly suck because many Chinese business people have lousy business values. When a Chinese manufacturer takes a contract, they often feel little or no actual obligation to manufacture according to spec, if cutting corners will make more money for them or their guanxi network of family and friends.
Why is quality control a problem in China?
Chinese supplies want to save money by reducing specifications, and American companies are trying to fight for higher levels of quality at reasonable prices. The customer may always be right, but quality failures often are the result of a relationship imbalance and asymmetrical information.

China is also a world leader in many types of goods. Especially if you’re looking to build custom product, you will save so much time and money by working with a manufacturer who specializes in your product category.
Which is better, a Chinese manufacturer or a domestic manufacturer?

Chinese factories work are far lower profit margins than those in the U.S. As a result, they are almost never able to accommodate one-offs and, generally speaking, their minimums are often higher than other countries.
