People in Croatia are skeptical toward the quality of Chinese goods, rate what you think about it.

Quality of production is limited by the buyer.
"Where water, there and fish"
The question is formulated not correctly.
The Chinese factories can make production of any quality.

It is naieve to think that the quality that comes from China is either high or low. Quality is determined by pressure from the buyer and ability from the seller. Chinese factories have the ability to produce high quality products, but buyers need to enable them to do this.

So long as foreign buyers assume that China is the place to turn for low priced products produced in huge quantities then that is what the factories will turn out for buyers. The factories are merely supplying what the market demands.

Price vs Quality is a cultural issue.

Foreign buyers often push prices assuming that the quality will remain the same but the factory is accepting a lower price after negotiations.

Unfortunately for those buyers the Chinese factories are thinking in a different way. When Chinese factories face price pressures from buyers they tend to look for ways to cut down costs and this is often done to the detriment of quality. This is not a dishonest practice as the Chinese staff assume that everyone realizes that to be the case. If asked most people in China will clearly state that low price means low quality and high price means high quality. I do not agree that this has to be the case but I dont deny that this is the logic of the people we are buying from.

However more and more Chinese factories are switching off from foreign trade and concentrating on local trade. Some of these factories are producing extremely high quality products for customers in the local market that are willing to pay for these products. Sure order sizes may be much lower but business is more constant and margins are much higher. Such local buyers are concentrating on product at a fair price rather than some foreign buyers that are looking only for the cheapest price.

So the quality of the product you get is up to you as the buyer. If you are clear about what you can and cannot accept, and as long as you understand prices, then you can negotiate the best price for the quality that you are seeking. If you push for cheap prices then you need to understand that the Chinese sellers will be assuming that you can accept lower quality.

I agree with you..

Products are being produced in bulk, prices are lower and quality is not up to the mark! Quality can not be maintained with dirt cheap prices!

Seema

hi do anybody know why peoples buy from china ? let us take example of apparels ( garments ) because china produces low price garments that is why people purchase from china and import Chinese product china have great potential if they change their sampling , marketing policy as well as make their quality good instead of decreasing the prices with quality on the contrary if a person needs good quality he insists to import it from turkey or Romania since to ensure himself about the quality !! that's the game !!!!!
