It's true. Anybody working in any sort of assembly/manufacturing in North America will tell you that not only are Chinese parts cheaper after freight cost, they're often more consistent and higher quality as well. If your competitors are getting Chinese shit and you aren't, you're probably fucked. Local guys for the most part don't even try to be better at the one advantage they have: they can respond quicker and rework things easier. They constantly do shit that makes you think they don't really want your business, meanwhile Chinese are hungry. It's a huge shitfest caused by a culture that doesn't take pride in making things anymore, vs one that does. Maybe its because too many brown people are hired by local guys, maybe the white guys they hire are apathetic, lazy, and overunionized, maybe management doesn't give a fuck about long term and just wants a quick buck, etc.
