Hi, LB,

My original meaning is comparing the quality of products sold in both countries. But your sentence suggests a difference in level: it is comparing the products sold in Taiwan with those manufactured in Japan. So your sentence distorts my original meaning. However, another teacher revised the sentence as written. It would make more sense.

The quality of such products
