Poorly Made in China is the tale of a modern-day gold rush and its consequences, the chronicling of a rising economic power and its path along a steep growth curve. Entertaining and eye-opening, the book highlights the extent to which culture affects business dealings, and the ultimately suggestion is that we may have more to be concerned about than product failures alone."
Praise for Poorly Made in China
"This fast-paced travelogue through the world of Chinese manufacturing is scary, fascinating, and very funny. Midler is not only a knowledgeable guide to the invisible underbelly of the global economy, he is a sympathetic and astute observer of China, its challenges, and its people. A great read."
—PIETRA RIVOLI, author of The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy
"Paul Midler takes us for a ride through the fastest-growing economy in the world, revealing what can—and sometimes does—go wrong when U.S. companies shift production to China. Working in the heart of China's export hub, in the country's southern region, he has the advantage of a front-row seat to the no-holds-barred games played between manufacturers and importers. He introduces us to a cast of real-life characters and tells his story with a mix of affection and skepticism for what is taking place in China today. Midler delivers a revealing and often funny tale of life and commerce in a country whose exports touch nearly everyone on the planet."
—SARA BONGIORNI, author of A Year Without 'Made in China': One Family's True Life Adventure in the Global Economy
From the Inside Flap
It was a world gone wrong, one in which manufacturers thought little of manipulating product quality levels in order to save the smallest amounts, where savvy foreign business leaders were made to feel in control while they were taken for a ride by their partners, where entire manufacturing facilities sometimes vanished right into thin air… Welcome to Poorly Made in China!
At the height of the boom export manufacturing, Paul Midler returned to East Asia, a recently graduated Wharton MBA. In the right place at the right time, he was sought out by a number of foreign companies who wanted help in navigating the new economy. The adventures came fast, as did the business and cultural lessons.
Poorly Made in China is a dramatic romp through China's export manufacturing sector, one that reveals what really goes on behind the scenes. The story follows the author from one project to the next, taking the reader through a diverse set of industries and revealing a number of challenges.
An engaging business narrative told with doses of humor and insight, this true story pulls back the curtain on the rising Chinese economy, providing a closer look at the rough-and-tumble environment in which so many of our consumer products are being made. For those trying to make sense of why so many quality failures could come out of China at once, this book is an especially interesting read.
前半部有點意思,比較像人類學的田野文獻,說瞭為什麼中國製造業質量差但仍然能吸引西方資本。但有點一麵倒,都是從外資角度的申辯。我反倒好奇有沒有中國製造業業內的account,或者third party角度

評分To quote someone, "這本書讓我對中國外貿行業有瞭很清晰的瞭解。也讓我在看到西方綫性思維習慣,遇到東方麯徑通幽的做事方法時,發生的各種矛盾和各種不適應。" 不過我對作者所說the most oblique criticism錶示不解,總體看來作者描述瞭中國文化和製造業的亂象深層次的關係,但是筆鋒最後急轉直下就到瞭批判中國的審查製度,讓人有點錯愕。
評分中文版的條目沒有瞭,颱版譯成《黑心帝國》。
評分對中國齣口貿易的介紹非常精闢
触目惊心了,特朗普所说所做的九年前这本书里就已经说过了。声名远扬,一国自信之根本的Made in China在这里被扒皮得叫人后背发冷,作者笔下鞭挞的招招打在痛点上,看得一腔愤懑淤积心头,却又无力还击。 作为importer和manufacturer之间的broker以及connector,作者的工作其实...
