This is interesting to me because I've noticed the change in Chinese products over time in Pakistan. It’s true that during the 1990s, Chinese products were thought of as something of low quality. They were bought by the poor and not expected to last long. I remember they were cheap toys, clothes, etc.
Last month, I was in the market to buy some sheep. While talking with the sheep keeper, I noticed something like a radio around his neck. I asked him what it was. He showed it to me and I was surprised to see that it was a cool music player. There was also a cell casing on the back. I asked him where he got this and why. His reply was:
"I get bored when I take my sheep out to the mountains for feeding. So I got this from the local shop that sells Chinese products. I can keep it charged using the sun only and have a few cheap cells to keep it going when needed. I can listen to the radio, some songs on the player. This helps me pass the time when I have to feed my sheep."
But why this player? Why not some others?
"It's made in China and cheap enough for me to afford. Another reason is that I couldn't find anything else that met my needs like this one."
It's clear that "made in China" really doesn't mean what it used to.
