The shoe is on the other foot for Chinese producers

The other day I read a media report about a Chinese college student buying a pair of Chinese-made basketball shoes when he was traveling abroad. The shoes had since served him well. A friend of his later bought a pair of shoes in China made by the same company, but after only two months of use, the cushioning parts broke.
China doesn't lack the ability to produce high-end goods, but it does lack advanced industry standards and the mechanisms to discourage manufacturers from applying different standards when they produce goods for different markets.
