This is similar to the point I was attempting to make in post 182. The airbus supplier I referenced carries a heavy expat staff that doesn't cut corners. In fact, from my perspective, the Chinese factory is more efficient than their facilities in France and Morocco. Meanwhile, my cousin is working on the new BMW plant in Shenyang. Based on his descriptions, that is an air tight ship; the fact that the worker bees are Chinese (as opposed to German) matters not in his opinion.
