For the most part, yes. Many of us forgotten that they too have a domestic and an import industry that also requires tight tolerances and better steel. I have said this again and again, those diesel trains that run across the Gobi day after day in very harsh environments. They seem to do just fine. Now, just look at their high speed trains. They are world class, safe, fast and damn comfortable but they will never make it too our shores. I am like most of you, I refuse to buy Chinese plumbing fixtures in my client's home. Its German, Swizz, US or Japanese. Not worth is IMO to have to go back and do it again due to parts failing but I have to give credit where credit is due. I was yapping with a Mechanic from Ohio on the Yangtze River cruise. we were both amazed at the quality of their high speed trains. We both agreed before going over for vacation that China was this third world country, dirty, sub-western standard with very low quality products all over the place. Some of it is very true, but we were both very surprise at many of the quality things throughout China.
