Life after China
Clipped to the Drawing Board by Dave Ellery  

 An interesting New Zealand perspective of the Chinese mass production onslaught. With apologies to Mark Twain

Reports of the death of production engineering at the hands of China have been much exaggerated. The China syndrome shows all the signs of being much softer than the onslaught from Japan that lasted from the mid 1960s until it began faltering in quite recent times.

governments - of all political persuasions are too short sighted. all they see is the next election - once an industry has been gutted and destroyed the skill base is gone - it doesn't come back - theres nobody left to do the teaching - and thats the problem with letting industries die from cheap labour competitors. Because they are not always going to be cheap - skills, ideas, innovation - they die
