Broken China

Date: 11/01/2010

Pay attention only to the media and you’d easily get the impression that China is the world’s supreme manufacturing nation. This article in the Daily Telegraph illustrates graphically why it isn’t.

Feedback from entrepreneurial inventors - those who make and market their own products - increasingly suggests that when you need relatively low first batches of a product, and just as crucially need to trust the manufacturer, small UK or European manufacturers are best. Price differentials are no longer as high as they used to be, technology is up there with the best, and it’s easier to sleep at nights.
