Coppercone,
I was referring to the specification the buyer for the importer for the distributor for the retailer purchases against a spec.
The buyer's spec not manufacturer's spec irrespective of who actually writes the spec since the purchase order lists attributes of purchased goods.

It is usually businessmen who do the deals and consumers don't have much of an option. aka Walmart syndrome.

After going through several name brands of electric kettle which were obviously designed to look pretty, rather than work properly ( they leaked like sieves), we are now using an "el Cheapo" unit which is properly designed & made.

This problem really drives me nuts also.  The trouble isn't so much as cheap stuff sold as cheap stuff, but it is hard to find things that isn't cheaply made even if you are willing to pay the price.

I am totally at a lost as to where to buy reasonable quality stuff - you know, like the stuff you could find before Walmart existed.  It seems now different stores are selling different brands at different price points but all made in the same cheap factory somewhere in the land of no-quality.

It appears that China is now threatening Canada to release her or else.  The bluster is reminiscent to the similar threat made by Russia to the USA when we arrested Maria Butina.  It appears the threat is predicated on a similar premise -- to get the person out of the country before they can be questioned or prosecuted.  My guess is there's more to this story than we've heard so far.

It's bad enough the US makes it a personal liability crime for a foreign national to be part of a company breaking US sanctions ... for Canada to cooperate with that is elevating the value of US laws to ridiculous level, Trump is truly emperor of the western world I guess.

Now Canada stuck in the middle of this diplomatic sh!tstorm....

"China warns Canada of 'consequences' if it fails to release Huawei CFO"

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-china-warns-canada-of-consequences-if-it-fails-to-release-huawei-cfo/

The first line of the article... "China warned Canada on Saturday that there would be severe consequences if it did not immediately release Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's chief financial officer, calling the case 'extremely nasty'."   Apparently she faces charges of conspiracy to defraud multiple financial institutions, with a maximum sentence of 30 years for each charge!

So now because of this situation Canada is being sucked into this mess, and torn between China and US. What a disaster... will be very interesting to follow what happens, this could have major repercussions not only to trade. Sounds like Canada is screwed no matter what it does!
