Argh why do all the Chinese video hosting websites buffer so slow? Kills the fun

Because when people bought a cheap thing and it was broken, they would turn it over to check the lable, nd then they'd say 's**t' made in China, but when they bought an expensive product which last for long time, they wouldnt even bother to turn it over to check where it was made from!

and also when a customer saw expensive products they automatically assume they are either from Europ, the States or Japan.

I hate to keep showing my age, but when I was a kid, we'd watch all the old cartoons, and a common theme was some gadget or toy would break into a thousand parts, springs fly out, and the user would turn it over and there'd be a "Made in Japan" sticker on it. It was a common gag, and there was some truth in it. Japan made and exported a lot of junk in the 1950's and 1960's. Made in Japan meant shoddy cheap garbage.

Now we know that Japanese products are some of the best-engineered and highest-quality stuff out there.

China is now Japan in maybe 1980 or 1985 in the quality sense. Let me give an example of something I know well... machine tools. I am a fan of hobby metal-working and machining. Back when I started in 1985 or so, a good Western-made bench lathe was $6,000 to $10,000. China entered the market with cheap lathes that were $1,200 or so. The quality was not good. But they responded, and what China now makes is excellent equipment that is 95% of a machine like a Hardinge HLV or Bridgeport mill at 1/3 to 1/2 of the price. But I think as the quality improves (as it is doing) then prices will also rise... it is inevitable.

I have a Chinese vertical mill, and a U.S. lathe. The Chinese mill is excellent and has served me well for a decade now.

video description: a strong giant white fellow who arrogantly boasts that he has broken more than 12 best of the best 'Made in USA' glasses in USA by going through the glasses within a fixed time, challenged China that he will break more 'Made in China' glasses in China in the same manner. after examining the 'Made in China' glasses and comparing them with those of the US with his US team and his girl friend he declared that he will easily break at least 18 'Made in China' glasses within a fixed time. video footage of his breaking of 12 best of the best 'Made in USA' glasses in US has been shown. then finally in front of a huge audience the fun begins and he couldn't even break the first one in time, let alone the rest of the glasses.
