I didn't mention the Koreans or Japanese. They are very different peoples than the Chinese. The Chinese have a history of making shody junky products. You can ask any Chinese person about this and they will tell you. Merchants in general have a very bad reputation in China for this reason and it goes back all the way to Confucius.
The Japanese and Koreans are about 50 years ahead of the Chinese in manufacturing tradition. Furthermore the Japanese and Koreans are both proud people who want to take pride in their work. Most Chinese are very different from that. They are more pragmatic in orientation and do exactly as they are told. No more, no less. You can't be great that way. The Chinese are risk averse and it shows in everything they do.
