Hi Guruvinder,
Yes , as you say, Chinese products are everywhere and are available at a cheaper rate through out in India and else where but have they good quality? No, have they utility value, No. Don't you think so? They are all of 'Use and Throw' ones.
If you buy our own products (you say that they are costlier than chinese products) you have quality, warranty period for each and every product, utility value, you can repair them , change parts (spare parts are available in plenty) etc.
Come on Guys. Participate in this and make it a Group Discussion.

Dear Lathaji,
As you have put it right.
They are a definite threat to the Indian producers. Except a few, most of them are absolutely use and throw items and they cannot be valued for the money we have put on them. I did purchase an emergency lantenrn. The price was very less than the normal branded lantenrs available in the shop. The shop keeper asked me to keep the bill so that it will serve as a warranty for one year. And we had that. But when we took it to the shop when it faultered in the 4th month, the shop keeper said that the warranty is not for that product that have worn out but it is for something else. And the spare part costed more than the product. And if we are ready to shell out another Rs. 500 we can get the branded one. So we opted for that and now it is working fine. So just thinking that it is cheap, let us think about the quality.
I have also seen people selling fake products in the sake of Chinese products. So before buying them beware.

Hi,
There is no competition at all because of one factor that is quality. Chinese goods lack quality and this is what differentiates it from Indian products. If a person wants to use a product for a very short period of time and then throw it away, then Chinese products are ok. But once bought people would never go for the same product again. Initially even though people might like the thought of buying goods cheap, as the use it and find no value for the product they have bought, they will naturally go for quality products.

Hi,
I have used many of the CFL bulbs which are available at 25 to 30Rs. Always ended up buying another one within a month or two. It was a waste.
I could understand only after buying a Wipro Smart, same 11 watt one. Have had it more than 6 months now and no problems at all, gives even more brightness than the chinese bulbs. So I started using Wipro Smart nowadays and they are really good.

Chinese products have been threatening the shores of the Indian market for quite some time but now it is losing favor among people. I will state the reason why Chinese products are so so so cheap. First, in China you get cheap labour. It's even cheaper than India. Second, most of the components in the products are all stolen goods and if not, they are made of such quality which won't even last for one month or even a fortnight. You will find more and more people getting aware of these products and taking precautions. But for a person on a very limited budget, Chinese products are like dream come through. It depends on the budget but for general crowd, I must say BEWARE!!! of these products. They don't carry any guarantee. If your product works, it will go on upto 2 years and if your product is destined to be doomed, it's day is over by the fortnight. Be sure to take adequate precautions and support from a reliable shopkeeper.

Hi friends,
Here I want to share my views with all of you. I feel the people who are having worth in them are going abroad and utilising their knowledge there. Every body is interested to send their wards to foreign for earning. If our people stay back and use their minds we can produce them more cheaper than other countries. The main draw backs here I feel is we will not support our products. OK if an item is little costlier why don't we buy and support our own people instead we will go for the items which are cheaper. But will they stand here forever. No once they sell and earn money their job will be finished. Who will give the guarantee. So, I feel we should buy our own products even if they are costly. We will support our own people.

I heard from my brother who resides in U.S that the markets in U.S is also flooded with Chinese products but the quality is far superior than the Chinese products we get in India.The Chinese are maintaining double standards and exploiting us Indians.The Government should put some basic guidelines to import products from foreign countries and there should be strict quality check for imported products.

Hi Sudhersana,
Your suggestion is good. But though Government says everything is in order. But in practical we can't get the guaranteed imported goods.
