Switching the right perception.

It was long yers ago that the old folks kept on comparing a product from US and China. We were teach by our parent that Chinese products are not really good in quality, functional and shape. Nowdays product from People Republic Of Cina seem to flood the market all over the world. I was in Sudan before and saw many Chinese product sold all over the place. Small bags, torch light, plastic ware and textile are made from China imported to Sudan and I believe to other African countries too. Malaysia is having the same scenario with other too, importing cheap stuff from China and flood the market and make a boom in business by selling stuff from Republic of China.

Are we still thinking like before? Comparing a product from China with a product from America or other European countries, between cheap and expensive and brand name. Some people I know will definetely refuse to buy Chinese product because of the quality and lifetime of the product. Some will reject because they just dont like it. We have our own reason to stop buying any product but we are a bit bias in determine our decision

We learned a lot from our ancestor that choosing a good stuff is essential but now few consideration have to be included in our new business model.

Have you ever visit Mc Donald outlet and buying food for your kids and they gave you a nice toys mostly from TV character or famous cartoon series? Have you ever look at the toy your son is playing all day? Have you ever check the toys small stencil written somewhere " Made in China" or " Product of people republic of China". This prove that they have made a good quality product to be given by giant American company.

How many years we have evolve and develop. How many product or good product that Malaysia produce to world. Not to deny we have a few but we are far left by other countries. Manufacturing maybe is not our target because we have oil. Palm oil and crude oil with natural gas.

I got friend doing a business in road making and concrete mixer facilities, telling me that Chinese mini plan is more cheaper than German made. Functional and easy to assemble. To be in business for long is to reduce machinery cost if I'm not mistaken. Chinese are making a lot of things to solve the problem in a very efficient way.

I travel to one of the European country last year and bought something for a souvenir, and it's written " made in china" as well.

We have to admit that Chinese product are good and cheap. We have to admit that they also have strict quality control which passing the stringent requirement of quality.

I'm posting this entry using my iPad written " designed by Apple in California. Assemble in China" using a Chinese based software.
