RENEE MONTAGNE, host: Quick - name a Chinese brand, just one. The fact is, after 30 years of bone-shaking, mind-bending economic group, everyone knows about brand China, but few can name a specific Chinese brand. As we continue our series on China, NPRs the reason for that is not just economic.
ROB GIFFORD: In a bustling market near the center of the Phnom Penh, 24-year-old Soray Peah is testing the ringtones on a cell phone she wants to buy.
Ms. SORAY PEAH: (Foreign language spoken)
GIFFORD: Ill definitely buy a Chinese-made phone, she says, because theyre cheap, even though the quality is not great.
Ms. PEAH: (Foreign language spoken)
GIFFORD: But she doesnt know any Chinese brands, and in fact the brand she is going to buy is a fake Nokia, copied in China and sold Asia. This reputation for Chinese-made goods holds inside more upscale stores in Phnom Penh, as well.
Manager Tha Vy runs a smart store in a mall, selling electronics.
Mr. THA VY (Electronics Store Manager): No, we dont have Chinese brands. Weve got only Korean brands and Japanese brands, because the Chinese products came to Cambodia for the first time, the products were very poor quality.
GIFFORD: So, a store manager in Cambodia puts his finger on a key point of Chinas rise: cheap T-shirts and fake mobile phones: fine. IPads and laptops assembled for foreign companies: fine, too. But Chinese brands? Its not really happening yet.
