GS Show Final Day Questions and Related QC News

This new QC program that Wal-Mart is rolling out is not related to the show, but it is related to the questions on supplier qualifications and product QC.  That a buyer as big as Wal-Mart is drawing a line in the sand is only going to be a good thing. What can China or the buyers say to this new standard?  No?  No way.  They need this to legitimize their future manufacturing in the light of the last couple of years of bad press.  Sure there are tons of Chinese-made goods that are up to snuff, but that line of response is just going to be ridiculed by the west and MNC’s.  China needs to pick up this gauntlet and answer the call.  There is a great review of the Wal-Mart position of China suppliers right now from Bill Dodson at This Is China!
