    Yeah, the Chinese manufacturers are out to make money, and at least we know what to expect from them.

    Besides, being profitable usually means making a better product than your competitors.

      I don’t know that they’re out to make money though. A lot of the Chinese manufacturers are now struggling due to the price war they instigated themselves. Huge production surplus but they pushed down the price so much they hardly make any money
