European Quality in the Middle Kingdom

My comment:

"Reich der Mitte" is the German expression for how the ancient Chinese call their country, the "Middle Kingdom".

Already given. 'quality' would not be capitalised in BE, though it would be in AE.

“Craftsmanship” is of course suitable if the article deals with skilled manual work. “Quality” is suitable in the context of series or mass production. Kind regards Jim Walker
