Our experience with China has been completely the opposite over the 20+ years we have been importing.

We deal with companies that have become close friends and helped us grow our business together with theirs. They extended credit when they did not have to and we paid them early when we could or if they asked.

We never had an IP issue despite holding international licences across many products.

We shared gifts and good times together and have watched their children grow from babies to young adults.

There is bad wherever you go and unless you do your homework (or DYOR as is often stated here) you "gets what you gets".

There are (many) QQ's here in Australia too - we just choose not to deal with them and our lives are the better for it.

Let's hope the next OT, with a Chinese company or not, works out better for the Company and ultimately us, the shareholders.
