Post war Japanese stuff was rubbish, but they quickly realized they had to produce good quality products if the were to become a serious manufacturer on the world stage.Times have changed and I don't think China has ever tried to emulate that, their aim was just to flood the world with cheap products until they had decimated manufacturing world wide, then they can control the markets. I don't think anybody is laughing at China, it has a very controlled strategy to achieve it goals. The only risk to them is if countries that have lost manufacturing and employment can no longer afford to buy the volume of products China needs to manufacture to keep its economy running
