This may be fun to see. Many people wonder what the factories look like where they build these ATVs in China. Most are really quite clean, and well orgonized.... |
The first time I went to China was in 1983. I spent 7 weeks traveling to many remote rural areas. Americans were quite a novelty to the Chinese in those days. And learned just how nice it is to have running water (let alone hot water).
I didn't go back to China until 2007. What a difference! From donkey carts to BMW's in just 24 years. It is really quite amazing. The last trip I went to Qinghai province (near Tibet) where it isn't quite so advanced as the east coast, but they have the hot water thing down pat at least.
I have visited only a few factories (not off road stuff) but it is clear from the ones I've seen that quality and reliability are very important to them. I was also very impressed with the equipment (new and state of the art) and the knowledge of the workers.
Whether or not one likes the new globalization, it's here. I don't see it as going away anytime soon.
