Reply to comment by MendocinoReader in Only 50% of iPhone Casings Made in India Meet Apple's Quality Standards by Majnum

I wonder how steep it is. Like all the way from high quality standards down to seeing teeth marks on the case?

Even the Chinese factories seem to only put out quality products when their foreign clients demand only the highest quality control standards.

Left to their own devices, they seem content shipping really inconsistent stuff. I can’t think of many Chinese-owned brands have made a big impact internationally.

Anker? Most people seem to trust them over the “no name” stuff these days but they were also a no name when they started.

Well, until they lied about data encryption on their eufy cameras, and how they kept phoning home even when they were supposed to be offline? Yeah, they blew a lot of trust.

I don't know if this is completely true but heard that "cheating" is a gray area in China in terms of culture. SO if it's down to schools or business, seems like that company had outside influence or they are so sick and tired of making cheap low quality products, someone there pulled a 180.

Edit: The only anecdotal evidence I is asking a few different students from China that go to the university.

Yeah if you don’t know, maybe don’t make some broad generalization and ignorant statement about “culture”of 1.6 billion people.

It's not so much "cheating" but consider this: China is a communist country (for the most part). The concept of "ownership" doesn't really apply to a lot of things in their culture. Everything is owned "by the people," so the idea of intellectual property doesn't really exist.

If they see something and think they can make a version of it, they do it. It's why even the good factories that make stuff for export have parallel production lines that make the same product with less time invested in quality control for their domestic market. Some of that stuff leaks out as "counterfeit" goods.

DJI, Lenovo, OnePlus, Xiaomi. There's a reason why Huawei equipment were everywhere before getting ban.
