the man stating that he would only buy chinese products for the rest of his life is an interesting statement.
looking at china's 5000+ year history and its habits of closing its doors to the world after they feel they had enough foreign presence, 'i' personally would be very 'concerned' and 'cautious' about investing (ie technology advancement & manufacturing) in a 'communist' country.
intel, ibm, cisco etc are all scrambling to set up shop in china for whatever reason (lower costs most of the time). profit margins may be great...for now...but again, be very cautious...nothing is free. as my dad taught me as a child, 'the slowest way to make money is the fast way'.
from the comment section...read them, theyre pretty good... here is a great link to a chinese car crash test. i 'think' i will stick with mercedes for now!!!
