Description:
An insider reveals what can?and does?go wrong when
companies shift production to China


In this entertaining behind-the-scenes account, Paul Midler
tells us all that is wrong with our effort to shift manufacturing
to China. Now updated and expanded, Poorly Made in China
reveals industry secrets, including the dangerous practice of
quality fade?the deliberate and secret habit of Chinese
manufacturers to widen profit margins through the reduction of
quality inputs. U.S. importers don?t stand a chance, Midler
explains, against savvy Chinese suppliers who feel they have little
to lose by placing consumer safety at risk for the sake of greater
profit. This is a lively and impassioned personal account, a
collection of true stories, told by an American who has worked in
the country for close to two decades. Poorly Made in China
touches on a number of issues that affect us all.
