Is there any reason that Taiwan and China can't make quality stuff?

is there any fundamental technical reason that people in one

can't/won't/don't make any quality stuff? Ever?


Industrial customers who insist on and check for quality can get it

There is no magic to making good wrenches and the Chinese are
certainly capable of doing so. I (we) use wrenches a lot and never had
problems with Harbor Freight combination wrenches.
