Having read these books multiple times, I have found them instructional and deep in trying to understand the intent of Chinese factory owners and Chinese manufacturing in general. China’s manufacturing tactics heavily borrow from Chinese culture, which is much different in philosophy from the West.
Poorly Made in China
– Paul Midler, Jan 2011
The author goes through stories of North American traders and their dealings with Chinese factory owners. While his trials and tribulations are interesting, some of his overall observations are enlightening.
It is no big news that for the majority of the 99% of regular people the last 10 years in North America has been economically tough. Our young have a difficult time finding stable employment. In fact finding stable work has been a challenge for quite a long time. Products from China undercut our domestic manufacturers who have largely gone out of business. Our kids will not have a better life than us. It is clear that larger forces than the Canadian environment are at play here.
