I second that, and I am chinese myself.
I have the privilege to have lived in Asia, N. America, and Europe, and I observe the difference in doing business in all these regions. Europe is by par the most involved in testing, re-testing bikes. Plus there is a huge culture (magazines and companies that test the quality of products) on providing feedback. There is also a demand for those feedbacks because european and american consumers focus on both price and quality, not just price alone.
Unfortunately, the mentality of most chinese companies focuses on volume alone, because they know they are famous with their cheap labor and low price, so pushing volume is the only way to make a profit. Testing culture is virtually non-existent. Don't get me wrong, there are chinese companies that focus on quality, but the general culture currently is just to make a quick buck by selling crap which looks like something worthy, and it is understandable that we consumers would treat the whole lot as lemons when there is just one lemon in the lot. In addition, they are still not the innovative kind. Yet, they copy foreign designs while using cheap materials and cutting corners wherever they can cut costs irrespective of longevity and safety. So you end up with a bike that looks decent and seem to have the necessary components but it's a garbage.
Granted, they just started and they are trying, and I have no doubt that they will eventually get to the internationally acceptable quality. However, I would not want to be their guinea pigs because it is my well-being we are talking about.
