Rough Guide to Outsourcing In China

zentec writes, "An article in Design News chronicles WiLife's outsourcing project to China (they make consumer surveillance cameras). It's a tale of a language barrier, misplaced EEPROMS, backyard engineering, incorrectly assembled parts, sloppy engineering, and flaring tempers. That, and an initial defect rate of nearly 80%." In the end WiLife seemed happy enough with their outsourced manufacturing. This is a nitty-gritty account of life under globalization.

Ok, you called my bluff

Here is one article. And another article from a right wing perspective, and yet another article from the left side of the aisle. Then there's this and this and this, too.

Any more objections?

Oh and about their prisoner harvesting?

united states was the country to lead the world in free market economy once, but then it grew complacent. the importers then became the exporters now.

You've got to be Chinese?? Right? Perhaps Punjabi or Filippino, but probably Chinese. Why? Absolutely no depth or erudition to your thinking.

You've not read any articles a /., right? Especially not the one just posted -- the article by Paul Craig Roberts?

I mean, there's never been any such thing as a free market economy, don't you have any knowledge whatsoever??? This will be my last post to /. as I've noticed the vast majority of sharp people no longer post, and the remainder are completely pattern-challenged!
