For years the Chinese have been on the edge of the amateur radio market. Their products are usually far less expensive than their Japanese counterparts, but there has often been a question mark about quality and reliability.
It is my view that they will soon match the Japanese and grab the amateur radio market.
Already, many consumer products are "made in China" even if they were designed somewhere else. They take advantage of low labour and material prices.
They like volumes, so expect amateur radio and CB products to be similar. It would not surprise me if they had a product that was basically a commercial, amateur radio and CB transceiver that was basically the same radio to, effectively, increase volumes.
No, the Chinese are coming. Give them a few years.
