Yes, the "partner" was called "China". I guess you've never heard of poisoned dog food, toys, and gypsum wallboard.

They couldn't work Ohm's Law. What a waste of the term "engineer".
Everything works for some time, then they lose the recipe and can't even find the resistivity of copper. Yeah, that's real nice.

We are talking electronics contract manufacturing with vetted partners, not purchasing this that and the other thing from the lowest bidder. Because then you can end up with junk from companies in pretty much any country, including ours.
How do you know that? Do you have a clandestine camera in my office? If so, you would know that it is true :-)
I have heard some horror stories about how people can obtain degrees in some countries.

I know a lot more success cases, including a few large companies. IMHO it is dangerous to believe that "it never really works". That can give people over here a false sense of security regarding their employment.
One case I clearly remember as if it was yesterday is where a company tried to move production south of the border and it was a disaster. I told them to pull the plug on that, and fast. They did. Then they partnered up with a contract manufacturer in China and I was quite impressed when I saw the first boards. Years later when I got some more for unrelated experiments they looked exactly like the first ones, no slacking off in the quality whatsoever.
Also, I've got some Made-in-China lab gear here. Being the nosy kind of guy when it comes to EE stuff I opened some. And I have to say, they did a nice clean job. Sometimes cleaner than what I am used to. For example, on my oscilloscope they must have worked with gloves because there aren't even any fingerprints in there. Super clean.

Not from what I see on the local news. They are idiots, reading porly written scripts on their ®Teleprompters. They make 'Ted Baxter' look like a genius. :(

The journalists are the people doing the poor writing you see, not the ones reading it. ;-)

You've never worked around a radio or TV station, have you? It 'was' like that, in network broadcasting, in the '50s. Independent stations did their own reporting with the talking heads prepping their own stories, and ENG has only made it worse. Some simply tore the copy off the Teletype or Kleinschmidt and read it on air. I have quit reading the local newspaper because of the illiterate 'journalists'.
