We have another problem now as well........Traditionally the Chinese have produced cheap shit and poor quality copies of western equipment,but now they are getting pretty good at what they do and the quality of Chinese produced stuff has improved massively and it still costs fook all compared to the western equivalent....

Greedy western companies are now buying in huge quantity from China and a lot are moving production out there..

Mark my words chaps,the yellow race will rule the world,it`s only a matter of time.....

There's a reason for that; the Chinese are one step up from being slaves.
They work long shifts every day of the year and their monthly salary is ridiculously low (average Europeans get the same money in a day or two!).
