    So the news just said this was the most successful Christmas in 2 years for Retailers in the United States .Every gift I picked up says made in China on it. I really wanted to avoid this but its almost impossible these days.

    Can you imagine what would happen if China stopped making things for 3 cents a pop. The US Economy would probably just totally fall apart!.

    So my question is this. Pick a random present, does yours say made in China on it?.

    I don't think we can avoid this right now. China seems to be dominating everything.

    I bought HP laptop and even it was assembled in China :rockeyes: what can we expect?

    It is the cheap labor that attracts work contract to China. As long as the cost of labor is cheap, we will continue to have products made in China.

    I say it is not a problem as long as the quality of the product is good.

    it all depend on the seller , in order to get more profit . the seller offen find way to make thing cheaper , is the seller and Brand owner to choose where there want their product Made .

    Exactly! Its not like china own the companies that behind the products being made there..Most of the factories are own by greedy US, and EU corporation. For example Ipod are being made in china, but the design and stuff plan out by apple people..Out of $1000 the Chinese people probably get $100 rather do it in US pay $600 they go for the cheapest place.

    I am from India. Here also, 7 out of 10 electronic parts are made by China. I think China is one of the country in the world which made cheapest electronic parts in the world.
