Made in PRC - what country produces goods undersuch an abbreviation? In shops it is possible to get both spoons and forks, and serious household appliances on which labels there are similar symbols. The goods, I must say, are of quite acceptable quality, and the price is objective. The brand, most often, does not say anything to customers, but it's also not surprising, so many companies appear and are lost in the market, which you will not remember each.
The age of information technology and, of course,free access to knowledge via the Internet gives us the opportunity to obtain information in any way. Once we do not get straight, we go around and study the barcode. The main producing countries, or rather their numbers in the encoded set of arithmetic symbols used in the world, are familiar to everyone, well, many are for sure. For example, Russia has a code of 46, and Germany is from 40 to 44. These symbols representing the state in whose territory the goods that you are going to buy are first in the line of 13 digits.
What does the bar code of the product with the inscription onlabel "Made in PRC"? Which country is listed in the code? China (690-695). Strange, because the inscription for goods from this country looks quite different, and it sounds even more so - Made in China. It is to this formulation that we are accustomed to, this phrase is considered to be established and universally recognized. What is the catch, where is the discrepancy?
And it, in principle, no. Everything is extremely simple.The bar code indicates the country in which the goods were actually manufactured, and this is indeed China, that is, made in the People's Republic of China. Made in PRC (deciphering: People's Republic of Chinese) is nothing more than a derivative on this topic, it should be noted that both the Republic of China and Taiwan fall under this reduction.
For the uninitiated consumer, the difference, inin principle, insignificant, but ... At the moment, a politically unstable state divides itself into two, more precisely into three parts: the PRC, the Republic of China, Taiwan. The essence of the dispute is not so significant in the context of the goods produced. There is a quite natural question: why are innovations needed? The previous version was popular and well-known. Who and why introduced the new abbreviation Made in PRC?
Which country is associated with us in marriage andlow-grade "junk"? Agree, the answer is obvious - China. It does not matter to us which of the political regions is meant, it is solely about the quality of the goods delivered. And how objective is it?
We dare to remind you that China is the oldesta state that has a rich culture that has affected not only the neighboring countries (Japan, Thailand, etc.), but also European states. It is inventors from the Middle Kingdom who own such discoveries as gunpowder and fireworks, books and paper. By the way, the word "porcelain" in English is written and sounds identical to the word "China", namely chine. I think it is not necessary to reproach the craftsmen for producing low-quality consumer goods. Things made by Chinese artisans serve long and securely.
But in fairness it must be said thatthe charges are not groundless. Cheap labor and low level of education played a cruel joke on the image of the state. Despite the fact that there are enough enterprises in the country producing high-quality goods, a reputation was created by small apprentices, aimed at easy profit and great turnover. They supplied a huge amount of goods of a disgusting variety to all countries of the world. Glorifying the state (no matter how pathetic it may sound) the goods, whether it's porcelain or pyrotechnics, were simply lost in the sea of "rubbish". As a result, consumers stopped considering the purchase of goods made in China. And they do it in principle.
What does Made in PRC mean?This is not just an abbreviation, it's a way to get customers out of the shock that they got through the fault of uncontrolled "marriage" proceeds. This is just a marketing move designed for a favorable outcome, after which the demand for consumer goods supplied from China will increase many-fold. China is a state where hardworking people live, gave the world a fishing hook and whiskey (invented for medical purposes), paper money and a toothbrush with a writing that is not equal in the world. They are worthy of respect. Their desire for success is grandiose.
It was the desire to destroy stereotypes that led to the appearance on the boxes of products of the acronym Made in PRC.
Who can compete with China in quantityproduced non-food consumer goods? I think no one. At this stage in time, the Chinese economy is on the rise, foreign investment is pouring into the most powerful flows. The factories and factories are being built. Foreign investors are attracted by cheap labor and loyal legislation of the country.
Do not think that only new companies, notwho have collected more "turns", build their own enterprises there. No! Many large concerns have opened their subsidiaries in the region. The quality of production is monitored relentlessly. Personnel training is carried out. All processes are highly automated.
This is how Made PRC products are born.The producer country can be any, even without any relation to China. But the fact that the products manufactured in the Celestial plants, produced in world quantities, and not in piece, can compete in quality with what is produced in stiff England or Germany is a fact. There is a lot of evidence to this.
Once created stereotypes try to breaka long time ago. Many were faced with goods, on the packaging boxes of which the names of countries that respected as producers were proudly displayed, for example Austria or Switzerland. On closer inspection it was found out that the company whose product you purchased is, for example, Austrian (more precisely, the company is registered on the territory of this country), but everything has been produced in China. To many, this seems a trick of low, indecent. What is there to do? How to convey to consumers that what is not very expensive, can be of decent quality? What brand and place of production - things, of course, important, but not the last?
Synonyms should be "quality" and an inscription onpackaging Made in PRC. A country capable of building the Great Wall of China, which has the largest diasporas around the world, whose economy is developing by leaps and bounds, can do things worthy of respect.
The words said above may be a bit pretentious. Let's talk without lofty phrases and discuss everything from the point of view of banal erudition.
It's no secret that for the brand andthe country of origin must be paid extra. Often the markup for these two items exceeds the 50% barrier. For many, this is an indicator of status. The thing bought at an incredibly high price, speaks of prosperity.
But is it so important to ordinary consumers, forwhich mixer - it's just a device, whipping egg whites in a strong foam? The main thing that is required of him is a service to the hostess. Everything, nothing more. So what does the Made in PRC products do not do? Whose production should be indicated on the packaging, so that the mixer would work better?
Many housewives note the fact that a simple,even a Chinese mixer, will serve less, but its price is several times lower. That is, the price ratio is such that during the operation of an expensive, branded unit, you can buy two new ones that are not inferior in design and characteristics, without losing materially.
Choose the best, even if it is made in China.
