Stop using buzzwords as if you know what the hell you are talking about. I have seen examples of Chinese manufacturing, from management to engineering to production, at least in my industry. Chinese efficiency ? It was a joke 12 yrs ago then and it has barely improved since.
Creativity ? Here is what a Chinese doctor who survived the Cultural Revolution said about the Chinese people: "To survive in China you must reveal nothing to others. Or it could be used against you. That's why I've come to think the deepest part of the self is best left unclear. Like mist and clouds in a Chinese landscape painting, hide the private part behind your social persona. Let your public self be like rice in a dinner: bland and inconspicuous, taking on the flavors of its surroundings while giving off no flavor of its own."
You think working your slaves 16 hrs/day is a mark of advancement ? No, that is a sign of incompetence, inefficiency, corruption, and lack of creativity. Modern day Chinese manufacturing is STILL learning from the West, working hard to shed itself of the decades incompetent Communist Party leadership. The US is still the world's manufacturing powerhouse by any metrics, including those of China's.
