Right from the beginning, Chinese products have been very well-known for their cheap price and inferior quality. People often saw them as tacky, and the \u201cmade in China\u201d tag was not welcomed. Thanks to the not-up-to-standard Chinese goods in small stores that spread all over Europe, China managed to quite permanently establish its name as the \u201ckingdom of mass production that only copies other brands\u201d. Many of us are probably not even aware of how many Chinese companies became successful in the West, despite the hardships and mistrust they had to face. Even though the cultural gap and historical stigmas are difficult to overcome, it\u2019s still not impossible to break through the foreign market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
