companies and management are always short-sighted. If you happen to have a greate manager, enjoy it since it just doesn't happen often. Here on the wall street is the same, otherwise you won't see the big mess created in the last few years. The only difference is how far they want to go. Here very few chinese can make their way to the management, maybe they are not interested in at all, maybe they can't.

Last year, I bought a piano for my daughter. When I did my research on which brand I was going to buy, I saw a lot of posts on the internet saying don't buy made in china or indo, buy made in japan. I eventually bought something made in japan that I am quite satisfied. I really hope that one day I can hear others saying the brands in China can stand shoulder by shoulder with everyone else in the world.

Building something solid takes more guts than merchant's thinking, Apple is a historic marker on this. I hate to see the Vii or Zii joke(Wii copycats).

P.S. Happy holidays to all, be safe and be healthy.
