Underestimate China at your peril IMO

👍 They were smelting aluminium 2000 years ago when we [ the Scots ] were running about naked smeared with blue paint and they do have a space programme with a rover on the far side of the moon.. it's just that they know that we'll buy endless amounts of complete crap if they make it🙄

 

Say's more about us than them really !!

Bulls eye! On all 4 points.

We'd do well to stop underestimating China and stop buying all the crap that they're playing us with. If we didn't buy it they wouldn't keep making it. They'll be No. 1 in the new world order very soon IMO.

As well as everything else they're market leaders in manufacturing alternative energy plant, wind turbines etc.

Look back at history over the centuries and most technological advancements came from the East. I don't believe that has stopped.

I don't doubt that at all, the willingness of the modern day consumer to accept any old sh1te as long as it's cheap enough has definitely played in to the China success story.

Mitox for garden tools

MG for cars (fast growing brand) 

Huawei for phones

Prada for clothes (loads of cloths brands apparently)

 

Actually I think that proves my point, that's not much  of a list and even then MG is an existing brand which they purchased and outside of an arb forum I doubt that "Mitox" would qualify as a household name.

 

Contrast that with how many Japanese brands had become proper household names by the late seventies.

 

China may be building huge manufacturing facilities, but they are not building a folio of recognised global brands which people associate with quality and durability.

 

Indeed the opposite, the general public still associate Chinese goods with crap, and don't realise that most of the good stuff that is made there is even made in China because it's sold by a global brand.

 

Fifteen years ago we were told that we'd be driving large numbers of Chinese cars and riding Chinese motorcycles by now, and with the exception of Triumph, which has been very well marketed, we just aren't.

I agree with you, and think its kind of interesting why they have being slow in development of any decent new  global brands.

 

Viewpoint: Why do so few Chinese brands go global?

Chinese companies are extending their reach around the globe but why have they not been able to build their own brands?

 

Think many 3rd world places are probably full of chinese cars and motorcyle brands but not the western market yet... even if alot is now made in china for the  global brands.....
