Re: Chinese electronics and The Art of Electronics
That is about it. My father ran an import business back in the 1980s bringing in the first clone PC hardware from that part of the world and he was forever haggling on the phone and in person. The supply chain is deep and scary and difficult to navigate and not end up getting ripped off or with containers full of junk turn up. There’s no accountability anywhere! I suspect that’s why some of the electronics vendors charge so much; supply chain assurance.
Incidentally my father was also the largest importer of “dancing sound activated pot plants” at the time, a craze which actually started due to a miscommunication and a whole container turning up full of them that he thought was computer memory!
