Let me add something. Japan. After WWII they were in the mud, producing junk with a bad rep for 20 years, and almost overnight it changed. They had to surpass us in the US to sell anything. Today, we have little interest and offer no competition to China. The three-legged stool has a busted leg.
The credit for Japan's improvement goes to W. Edwards Deming who was asked to come to Japan by General Douglas MacArthur. Deming really turned Japan's manufacturing around. BTW, Deming was figuratively and literally laughed out of US industries for his ideas on quality.
