As is often the case, history provides an insight. Remember back in the 1960's when everything coming
from Japan was considered cheap junk? Now take a look at the mix of cars on the road in the USA.
China is a MUCH larger country with FAR more resources. Human and natural. They can dominate any
market they choose to.
Take a look at tools, Harbor Freight being one small example. Also electronic test equipment and
radios of all sorts.
Will some enterprising factory owner or investor who likes pins in China start offering competetive
products? Time will tell but IMO, don't be too dismissive of the possibility
