How do you think the Chinese goods？is it  worthwhile to buy or not?What is the impression of the Chinese goods in the hearts of everyone?

Australians must love Chinese goods because almost everything they buy is made in China.

Many cry 'no choice'. The same people who wouldn't spend a few extra cents buying Australian made goods ( while the manufacturers still existed ).

hi, what type of goods are you thinking of ?

the biggest problem with buying from asia is the very very very long post time . some say 45days . the staff on some websites dont reply to questions correctly & websites are dishonest in what they have stated re post etc saying 7-14 working days post to australia when their staff say 10- 30 days, then 45 days.

thats the problem with dealing with asian stock & people not the quality of their products exactly.

cheers 🙂

Also the quality is not there.

Often it is thrown in the rubbish.

I have been involved in many aspects of business including dealing with Asia. 

It is as though the Chinese are more focussed on the money and their country than supplying a product that works or is durable.

Chinese are more focussed on the money and their country.

Not wishing to seem rude but is there something wrong with wanting money and caring about your country ?

The quality being carp has more to do with corporates screwing the Chinese for the best price. We get what we pay for.

Not rude at all terma, my point being the focus is on the end result rather than focussing on the job at hand.

I've bought one or two things from Asia (can't remember if China or not) and it arrived in good time. It appeared to be the product as described, so I was happy. Good products can be bought from here or overseas. As has been said here before, if the price is very cheap, it may mean that the product is of inferior quality compared to higher prices for a similar product. That can happen here, China or anywhere.

Whatever the motivation or financial reason I most certainly agree that it is predominantly rubbish. At times I have sourced materials and objects with a view to using them in manufacture because the price was right. I can't think of any items that HAVEN'T gone straight to the rubbish bin.

The Chinese are where the Japanese once were.

'Looks like a hammer but mushrooms after a few hits'.

Now we hope it's made in Japan.

I doubt that Chinese manufacture can ever reach the same level of excellence and quality control while the supply chain is being screwed every which way to provide healthier dividends

to shareholders.

Now I am getting wound up but I am the world's slowest typist.

I sure hope I don't lose my index fingers in an accident.

You're absolutely right, it is deep in the 2 cultures (Japan n China).

I am from Denmark but spent time in Japan as well as being born there.

Japan actually hired 2000 engineers from Israel, I think it was in the 50's to try to solve the quality issues.

But Japanese have a very strong pride in perfection as well as understanding the importance of taking time to complete something and that is a huge difference.

And just so I add some balance, there are many products from China that will serve their purpose, so cheaply.

Have a good night.
