This argument is really detracting from the actual facts so please for the rest of us can you two just shake hands take it as a misunderstanding cuz believe it or not from reading this thread eerhard is on the same side as you cbus he's jus not asking for HTC's head on a platter like some are.
You also did not understand the point of the my writing. It had nothing to do with the comparison of lead based toys and drivers in cell phones! What it did have to do with was simply that the Chinese culture is not used to making good on mistakes or shortcuts they have made on products. In this case ie the lead based toy issue - they had to and also make a public apology. THIS WAS THE POINT - GET IT! I read a recent article with Mr. Chou and he stated that was indeed the case in his culture and he didn't believe in it. In fact he went on to say that in one case he actually went back and redesigned a device and only distributed it after the 3rd generation because he didn't want to launch an inferior product but that he knew that other companies - including his own - would have launched it on the 1st generation and let the problems roll in. My iteration was that we need to build on this and force them to make good - quality products and understand that this is what the consumer wants and expects with large ticket items - being relative to the product. Let's not go backwards!
