"Even when you get an order, you can't produce and ship it," says Lou, who is deputy director of the Dongguan Taiwan Business Assn. "Everyone in every kind of factory is short of workers."

Correct najamss, The company I work for has few factories in China and products with varying quality standards are made in the same factory.

They have different grades in qualities, i.e. A,B,C,D ... For example, the qualities of China made toys that available in US, UK, Australia or Germany is way better than available in Middle East, or Sub continent...

The quality is not because of that. You get what you pay for, Chinese can make the best quality material in the world too but then it will cost more and you will not buy from China, will you?

and its no wonder that the quality of their goods are questionable. When demand exceed supply, production are rush in a hanky panky way. So it does happens here.

If the demand for Chinese goods keeps on increasing at this rate and all the production keeps shifting there, they will make Two-Children compulsory very soon.

It's their own fault. They invented the 'one-child' policy.

Hardly surprising.

Demand for Chinese goods is increasing exponentially while the population isn't.
