Another Take on Quality in China

There is an interesting blog posting from Kimberley Palmer at US News and World Report from yesterday. She interviewed an author that recently wrote a book about quality in China. Paul Midler is the author. In the interview on the posting he goes back-and-forth about quality in China. On one hand he says he's nervous to buy and use some products from China. On the other hand he makes a case that China is the place to be.

This is yet another opinion that points to the need for all the ingredients of successful sourcing I've talked about before - with planning, communication and having "feet on the ground" being the most important.

Here's the link to the blog post.
