    But Japan won by heavily improving the quality and reliability of their products, and that’s not what China is doing.

      That’s not true at all, China makes both high quality and incredibly cheep at the same time. Look at brands like Anker, Ecoflow, Hisense, Xiaomi, Dji, Lenovo, Chery, BYD, etc

      I mean, they are, but not in the way you’d think.

      They don’t care much about quality, but they have the data (the critical part) to improve quality anyway, with a fraction of the zealous dedication Japan applied.

      A database that shows 1 part always fails for a specific reason is hard to argue against, just change that part.

      Technology makes innovation easier.

      Nah man.

      Chinese automotive tools are improving massively (Harbor Freight ICON is amazing for the price) and the electronic diagnostic stuff is streets ahead of any place else for the cost.

      Chinese watches are really coming up. Sugess is beating the hell out of Japanese watches (using a Seiko movement) and the in-country movements are nearing parity.

      RISC-V: 'nuff said.

      Sure, China is still “the production zone of the world”, but China is making Afrika “the productiontion zone of China”
