Oricum, toate piesele (componentele) la ora asta sunt fabricate in China. Inclusiv cutii, masti, sasie, orice trebuie prelucrat pe strung/CNC, mai ales piese masive din dural.
Practic toate brandurile audiofile la ora asta folosesc cel putin piese (componente) chinezesti dar cele mai multe folosesc subansamble fabricate in China. De exemplu cablaje gata plantate. Cele in tehnologie SMD sunt in marea lor majoritate facute in China. De obicei se comanda executia unor proiecte sub forma de subansamble care apoi se mufeaza si se insurubeaza in tara de origine a firmei, dar multe sunt facute cu totul in China. De cativa ani pana si proiectarea e mutata acolo! Brandurile occidentale se ocupa cu comertul si marketingul. Deocamdata chinezii nu stiu sa vanda la nivelul la care stiu occidentalii. Dar si asta se va remedia...
Pe Aliexpress sunt droaie de clone.
Clonele apar cand exista productia originala in China.

Chinezii copiaza orice se fabrica la ei sub brandurile occidentale.
The Dussun Factory, and One Serious Amplifier Designer The next stop on the tour was the Dussun factory in Shanghai. Dussun makes a line of ten preamps, power amplifiers, and integrated amplifiersâall of them solid-state. Some of you might know that Dussun designed and built the amplifiers for Mark Levinson's (the man) company Red Rose Music. Wayne Garcia favorably reviewed Dussun's $600 DS99 integrated in Issue 176, which was once sold under the Red Rose name.

HARMAN Opens New Chinese Manufacturing Facility to support rapid growth in automotive and infrastructure projects

Some foreign marketers are even importing Chinese products and stamping them with exotic Western brands. For example, Red Rose Music, a company owned by Mark Levinson, a hi-fi industry heavyweight, basically tweaks Aurum Cantus' Moon River speaker that retails in Beijing for $1,200 and resells it as the Classic Ribbon Speaker for $8,000.
Watching the margin a well-marketed brand can command is prompting Chinese audio entrepreneurs to adopt a strategy commonly employed by many Chinese industries: They're buying established but faded Western and Japanese brands and trying to breathe new life into them.
Consumers may not know it, but popular British brands such as Wharfedale, AudioLab, Mission and Quad that position themselves as boutique offerings built for connoisseurs are owned by Chinese entrepreneurs and manufactured in Shenzhen.
Zhao says the real danger to Chinese hi-fi manufacturers is ironically what they see as their strength -- their low prices.
"Hi-fi companies need huge margins to develop," Zhao said. "For Chinese companies the margins are already not too high, and if this remains the case they won't survive on the market."
Ling says dealing with naysayers is part of being Chinese. "People always tell us what we cannot do," he said. "Then, when we do it, they go on to the next thing we cannot do. But that's OK, it only makes us want to do that next thing."

Nu se mai poate fabrica nimic de genul asta cu acelasi profit inafara de China. Si cum sunt marfuri cu valoare foarte mare raportata la greutate, sa le cari din China in toata lumea e foarte rentabil. Deci, distanta si transportul nu sunt niste impedimente pentru (mai ales) acest tip de electronice.
Dar cel mai interesant, de la o vreme.... pana si proiectarea a inceput sa fie chineza!
In rest e o mare abureala de marketing. Ceea ce ar trebui cel mai mult sa ingrijoreze este proiectarea chineza care vine din urma! In timp ce la universitatile din Vest se trage drogul pe toate gaurile, chinezul invata si trage ca boul la jug fara cluburi, droguri sau alte chestii deastea. Universitatile din China se ridica an de an.
E doar o chestiune de timp.....
Orice activitate economica are la baza legile profitului. Azi e nerentabil sa mai concurezi in acest domeniu cu China, ar fi chiar sinucidere economica. Oricare tara occidentala are forta de munca platita cu de peste 5 ori mai mult ca in China. Acolo exista deja platforme industriale enorme, totul e mai ieftin la ei, taxele sunt mici, statul chinez chiar si subventioneaza exportul (daca ar indrazni oricare guvern din UE sa faca macar pe sfert ce fac chinezii, ar fi spanzurati la Bruxelles!). Le prieste globalismul la chinezi!
Deja aproape toate brandurile celebre sunt golite de continut, sunt numai "carcase" goale, inauntru fiind... China! Mai supravietuiesc cateva, din ce in ce mai putine. Dar pretul la astea este urias, trebuie sa acopere ineficienta enorma. Se vor duce direct la fund cu totii daca totul continua la fel in piata mondiala.
