In recent days the international media have been boiling with news of quality problems in products "made in China," on which words like "poisonous toothpaste," "shoddy tires", "lead toys," and "aquatic products containing anti-bacteria agents" popped up frequently.


The reasons behind a credit crisis befalling Chinese products, this time, are complicated. For example, those who stirred up a "china threat" in recent years have taken this opportunity for a malicious attack. In addition, some western countries have raised their product standards. However, what consumers are most concerned with has always been the quality of products "made in China;" their lives have been caught up in the fast expansion of Chinese products. Wasn't there an American journalist who tried a life without Chinese commodities? Her experiment failed after one year, and her conclusion was: such a life is difficult to maintain.


As increasingly more Chinese products appear in foreign supermarkets, retail stores, and restaurants, and become globally known brands; foreign customers naturally began to pick and choose. Most Chinese commodities that initially entered western markets were cheap items in large baskets at supermarkets. Now, however, people look at Chinese products in the same way they look at American and Japanese products.


Currently China exports over ten thousand types of commodities. Among such a multitude of goods, each deal is made after careful discussion between exporters and importers on qualifications, quality and other aspects. Therefore one is justified in saying that products exported from China live up to standards of importers and their states, as well as pass legal examination. Chinese products are generally recognized and accepted by sellers and consumers of importing countries. Problems with a few products should not significantly affect Chinese exports.


Manufacturing is crucial for a rising, developing nation like China. Manufacturing represents the country's hard strength and simultaneously determines China's international image. For more than two decades since its reform and opening, China has been relying heavily on manufacturing for economic development and will continue to do so. To improve the reputation of products "made in China," product quality must first be improved. If we can look at recent problems with products "made in China" overseas as both a challenge and an opportunity; ensure that "made in China" becomes a standard in America and Europe and China's food standards are high worldwide; and international consumers enjoy high-quality products "made in China;" then we will not have to fear any media hype!

Replying to [Business in China]:
I think a recent pet food problem or food problem has made Chinese food exports very venerable, to add there was a Chinese government official that paid a high price for accepting bribes and allowing certifications when there should have been more testing, the negative media attention is not good. It does show however how determine Chinese government is to change the status quo.

Replying to [Business in China]: I read your article regarding products coming out of China, yes there are some jealous businessmen out there who cannot understand how China can build a quality product and ship to the USA and still make a profit. I have bought some of your products and the quality has been very good and the service excellent. I am in the automotive business and I am just now discovering what is available to me. It is exciting for me, please keep up the good work and do not worry too much about the critics. I think over time they will be proved very wrong. Thank you Ernest F. Wilson
