Question Chinese quality

FlightPathOBN, Quote:- " Unfortunately, all of the newest machinery and technology is in China, and the quality of the work output is unmatched in the aviation industry".

Having spent 20 years in the Fragrant Harbour, I have experienced this "unmatched quality of work" of which you speak. If you are trying to tell me how good it is, then our standards differ greatly. When maintenance was carried out in Hong Kong it was very good, as soon as it moved to mainland China it was another story - several stories actually.

The only reason any manufacturing is carried out in China is not because of quality but because it's cheap.
