Many years ago, I was General Manager of a factory making the DHL1000 word processor for DHL's subsidiary Rapiddata. Our manufacturing manager said that he had given copies of the drawings of the metal casing to a factory in Shanghai and asked if I would like to go to see two sample cases they had made with a view to lower cost manufacture. I agreed and we flew up together at a time when China, though post-Mao, was still a poor country and still looked very traditionally communist, with blue Mao suits and bicycles everywhere.
