What do you think of chinese products?

Chinese product from low to high tech and quality are found everywhere. Somebody who says he avoid this products and only buys items not made in china simply lies. Will this change in future? Well, as china already move up the quality and income ladder and more and more high tech products are manufactured it will slowly change although western china still offer a plenty of opportunities. Nothing wrong with china..

To be completely honest, " not much!" We always check carefully at the grocery store that the product was Not produced in China. Chinese laws do not protect the consumer. Chinese milk has killed Chinese babys, and Chinese pet food has killed American pets. Chinese batterys do not recharge well, and Chinese solar panels are cheaply built.

Many things that we buy here in the UK - especially clothing and plastic goods - are made in China (that also sometimes includes Taiwan but the label very often says that). Usually, such goods are so inexpensive that one cannot help wondering about the quality of the raw materials and, especially, about how much the workers are paid in the factories which produce them. Very often, too, Chinese goods are just cheap-looking and of poor quality. China is well known here in the West for having very high industrial pollution levels. It is quite possible that sites such as this: http://factsanddetails.com/china.php?itemid=391&catid=10&subcatid=66 are blocked by the Great Firewall of China. If you cannot open that site, then you will know that your government don't want you to know about many things which go on in your country! Overall, I tend to choose not to buy things made in China for the reasons I give above. It is difficult, if not impossible, for individuals here to make China clean up its pollution problems, to pay its workers better wages and to give them better working conditions. The only thing we are able to do is to refuse to buy things which are sold cheaply at the expense of the workers and the environment!

I think that most if not all of my kitchen gadgets are made in China. They are good if you treat them well. Many of the toys I buy for my younger grandchildren anre made in China too, as they are affordable. Those get often broken on the first day. But I have no doubt that it is not the product that is bad. Children nowadays have too much and don`t take care of their things.

China products correlate to low quality, cheap products, won't last for long. Chinese tend to keep their cost so low, therefore the quality is not there. You can find chinese products almost every where. There are good quality products from China, but have to be branded. If they are branded then at least they are manufactured under certain quality control, and meet materials quality requirement. Even Apple have factory in China for its ipad. Lots of designers manufacture their stuffs in China. So as long as it's branded, I am ok with chinese products. But if you buy chinese items from the chinese shopping mall/stores, then don't expect good quality. That's just my thoughts.

Ni hao! (I hope I wrote that properly, hehe)I'm from Argentina and here chinese products are known for being cheap. Depending on your needs, you'll buy chinese when you need something cheap but (I'm sorry if this sounds a bit rough) not necessarily good quality. If you are looking for, for example, kitchenware, like containers, cups or dishes, chinese is the best option. However, chinese electronics are usually looked down on. I hope you find this comment useful!

The long-standing view here has always been that Chinese & Taiwanese products are cheap & nasty (meaning low cost as well as poor quality, destined for landfill very quickly, so those who care about the environment as well as those who like to support local industries only, tend to boycott such products). However, my experience is that here we absolutely depend on manufactured Chinese raw materials (or more precisely, our raw ores being processed into usable "components" in China) because our own manufacturing industries have been closing down very rapidly for years & not even the basics can be bought in this country any more. The thing is, there are some excellent goods being manufactured in China, but most people here cannot access them. The main problems lie in the language barrier. This is more our fault. Asian languages are very rarely offered as subjects in schools here these days. A lot of Chinese people do know how to communicate in some English & a handful of them are extremely good! But those who we need to discuss our requirements with are not sufficiently proficient in English to understand our needs, whilst those who have a really good grasp of the language cannot help us because they are not involved sufficiently with the products to discuss with. I know one local Aussie businessman who has been striving for years to buy the best quality Chinese products at the best prices & has put an enormous amount of time into building relationships with the best manufacturers in China. That's the only way to succeed. He has been to China so many times that he has developed a very strong Chinese accent even though he has had no former connections - neither family nor knowledge of the country. This is my own experience also. I needed raw materials recently for an ambitious project. There was no way they made anything like it here locally. One company in WA offered to "tool up" for it, which would have taken months & run into thousands of dollars. So it was "China or Bust"! I spent months & months communicating by email several times daily as our local times allowed with maybe two dozen Chinese companies. Maybe half of them ultimately refused to work with my requirements. One company finally came through for me after a very long process of elimination & creative thought & deal-making. I dare say I'll stick with that company for life now! There is massive reform here now under way. The "Asian Century" White Paper has passed in Parliament. The rest of the world tells us that our China-Australia economic relationship just won't work & that our "bubble on a bubble" will eventually burst (it has to!). I guess we'll wait & see.

Product from China have good reputation here 20 years ago. But now, if you saw a cheap product, you will automatically think of China. I think mass production give a negative impact to the reputation of product from China
