Used to be, working 24X7X365 was part of their culture and they even have a word for it. A documentary showed that the later generations do not have the same hunger for success having lived on the success of the past generations

it may happen eventually, but not in our lifetime, communism has tendrils in everything, schools business and culture.. EVERYTHING I ever saw about Chinese culture is "buy it and its your problem" quality is "good enough to get you to buy it". the old school needs to die off before the new can adapt to a more customer freindly attitude. they are all about making a buck and selling the absolutely as cheap a POS as they can get away with. Japan and Korea were inexperienced but willing to change, the Chinese have had a low regard for customers for centuries, communism reinforces a low regard for individual rights, and this will undoubtedly continue for a good part of the next couple decades. Dont get me wrong, its even harder to engineer a POS than to make things right, they are not stupid, they just dont care about the end user........ we fall right into their trap when we buy a POS wrench at harbor freight for 20cents then are not surprised when it breaks and we throw it away. If people would force quality by returning this junk to the store, it would ripple back and force them to change, as it is they sell us crap, we use it once and throw it away, and they sell another peice of crap when you go back and buy a replacement after the memory of the first POS passes |
