No, corruption is what induced the arm twist. Saving money is just excuse, making money is true intention
That also could be the case, but the Indian mentality is to save money for the exchequer.

In fact, as per the bureaucratic procedure, there is a part which has to indicate how what is being done is actually saving money of the Exchequer.

Those in the Govt are given brownie points for promotions and awards if they save money of the Govt when assigned to do a task!

Kickok1975,

This practice of many Chinese companies, supplying a differential quality product, based on the purchase price, will be detrimental to China in the long run. This practice puts in doubt the quality and the work ethics of companies from China. today if you buy an European product you know that you will be paying through your nose but then you are also rest assured that the product will be top class quality and will confirm to the specs.

There are Chinese companies who are at par with their European counterparts, but this above practice is not good for the image of the company and your country.

The Indian mentality of saving money is what arm twisted the ones who bought!
Then blame and change our mentality. Why blame China? As we sow, so we reap.

Anyway, it aint too late. India's infra surge is just beginning. All current installed capacity will be outdated in 15 years. Its' what we do going forward that matters.

I agree that we cannot "blame China" for this. Take it as a hard lesson and help in making domestic manufacturing more competitive. Labour reforms and industrial reforms - these are more urgent than anything else.

Guess your parents never taught you that you get what you pay for. :rolleyes:
You are damn right and wrong. In Canada I had paid premium price and this damn bag was the last Made in China bag of my life. Next will be European made or North American. I already boycott food products of your country due to safety issue with them. The problem is we are suckers of cheapest deals in India.

Have you never heard of this saying by your parents "Better late than Never" ? I hope Indians are learning the price of buying the cheap products. It is going to hurt once but for you the after effects will be long lasting.

Premium price does not necessary means the product will be up to your expectations. Price is just one of the 4 Ps in marketing.

Yes, I have heard that. I also heard that if you are a billionare, or "just" a millionare, then you can buy what ever products you want.

For the less fortunate of us, we have to look for bargains from time to time.:cool2:

Maybe adjustment of expectations will be a better tool.

The practice of supplying a differential quality product based on price is hardly unique, right?

Otherwise I agree with your post. The mentality that China cant produce quality items will/is making it harder for China to move up the value chain.

King Long Bus happens to be based in my city. It's the No.1 bus exporter in China, to countries including Malta, Russia... KINGLONG

For the air conditioning problem wasn't it not adapted to different climates?

Anyway it makes no commercial sense not to conform to different market conditions. The manufacturer is supposed to equip the bus in accordance with what's willing to be paid.

Yusuf,

Careful when you trade with the Chinese.

Cheap they are.

But don't purvey junk to us or your own reputation as an honest chap will be up for the grabs.

Taiwan is a better lot who cares about their reputation and honour than the Mainland Chinese, who are only consumed by greed and not National Pride!

Such a shame that these Communist parade photos of their country as a country on the march when in actuality that are on shaky foundations as Kickoff has so clearly enunciated!

There are not many indegenous companies in China on par with Europe. Those that are, are subsidiaries of European companies.

Blaming China for power outage is plain funny. China produces 5 times as much electricity as India does, and virtally all the power generation equipment is made inside the country, yet power outage is virtually unheard of (exists but on a scale several magnitudes lower than that in India). So obviously you can not blame india's rolling power outages on imported equipment. One thing, when India and its vast yet hugely inefficient buraucracy does best when something goes wrong, is finger pointing, and blaming a foreign country that is not exactly the most favoured among india's population, is about as safe a tactic as it gets. But when the problem really lies with human, like negligence, lack of knowledge, lack of procedure, buraucracy, etc, finger pointing won't get you any where closer to solving the problem. India has no choices other than keep importing power equipment from China in the foreseeable future. The few indian companies that do produce the equipment are non-competitive because they use foreign designs plus foriegn parts, but can't match foreign products on price and quality, and on top of that they don't have the capacity to make even a third of the equipment India needs, then other choices are either buying from china or buy from the west at twice the price. With a slowing economy, huge trade deficit, ever increasing fiscal deficit and a currency that is depreciating by the day, India will have to keep importing chinese power equipment just somehow to keep the economy running, and in the process the ruling elites in power.

Indians blaming chinese power equipment for power outage is very much like the chinese blaming japanese cars for road accidents, in either case the argument is a complete fallacy.
