Ar> So many foreigner countries helped the Chinesse build their industry
Ar> to produce merchandise up to European and American standards that at
Ar> some point they realized they could use that infrastructure and
Ar> experience to produce it themselves. If an European clock manufacturer
Ar> funds a clock factory in china, and sends an European foreman to
Ar> oversee the production of watches, you will find that factory produces
Ar> watches under a Chinesse brand when the foreman is not looking, using
Ar> European standards and the toolchains the Europeans bought for them. It
Ar> happens in Morocco all the time too.
I worked for a plastics company that opened a factory in China and
helped them with setting up the factory for quality control and all
the processes which were already in effect at US plants. So
basically we gave them everything they needed to get started as
competition. (if they needed it to begin with)
Doesn't seem like good business, but apparently it was cheaper than
shipping goods to China for sale in the asian market.
