DIY China

There are some interesting ideas about the evolution of a nation's manufacturing capability at http://www.sheldonbrown.com/shimano333.html Start reading at "Background: The International Bicycle Cycle" The author seems to have the opinion that the skill in manufacturing is not inborn, but is brought in by companies from other countries looking for cheaper labor and cheaper manufacturing in general. I think that's a reasonable explanation for China's manufacturing growth. OK, I'll read that, but I wouldn't go as far as to say China's skills have been brought to them from anyone else, because all thru their history they have showed excellency in many fields similar to today's manufacture. That said, in Europe, with sports as well as manufacture, you can easily see the bond or pyramid between the everyday practitioner and the elite professional - a bond that I always thought the very explanation for the elite level! But in China I don't know if the model applies? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
