The United States has filed complaints to the World Trade Organization and it doesn’t appear as though European countries are happy with Chinese tactics and quality either. However, China has the rest of the world acting like drug addicts with its cheap products where there is little to no alternative. Some may wonder why Chinese products are so low in quality.In order to understand how Chinese manufacturing works we should look at one of their biggest exports. China produces nearly 70% of the world’s toys. Not only does the U.S. buy from China but also countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia and many others. Children all over the world are receiving these toys for Christmas and Ramadan.

Implementing mentors and mentoring relationships within your business or career can have a profound affect on your organization.
