man this is even worse than USA elections, where at least they have 2 options and they can choose the less worse, where are the options here?
I voted for "unsafe products" although the better description is "shit products" because not only they're unsafe but they generally suck (low quality)
should you blame the Chinese? or your government for letting them inside the contry? or the store owner that import it and sell it to you? no one force you to buy it
you're right, I shouldn't blame the chinese for making shit products in china. I should blame my local store because it's their fault. I should also blame my local weatherman because it rained today.
No, you should blame Bush for the Weather.. Come to think of it, you should just blame him for everything...
Not everything made in China is garbage. Computer keyboards, mouse and monitors are o.k. Anything that you put wear and tear on or has a motor in it is garbage and food products are unsafe.
Lenova formerly of IBM fame is now made in China, it is comparable to any computers for eg Dell. The recent scare about contaminated food, lead in toys is only a drop in the bucket, you can't objectively gauge China's products based on a few isolated incidents. Food wise I would agree with bogart, I would be a bit wary, only buy from the more famous Chinese made manufacturers.
The way China handled the Tibet protests has done a lot of damage to its reputation. IMO, the quality of Chinese products is actually going up. In a decade or two, it will surely catch up with standards in the developed countries.
I voted for unsafe products because they poisoned dogs with pet food made from the wheat in China. I try to be as careful as I can to never buy anything made in China now.
My daughter hates the "made in china" label because she pretty much knows it's another crappy toy she's not getting.
I voted for "none of the above." The mainland Chinese are Communists. That's enough reason to hate them. I don't need another.
They aren't really communists now, they are capitalists in communists clothing. Nothing communist about China now except for the existence of the communist party in power, but I guess sooner or later the clamor for democracy would lead them towards some sort of democracy/communist mixture of political system. How they are going to mix it I really do not know, but they seemed to have mixed communist economy with capitalism quite well in recent years.
Most of the manufacturing is done in China.. Just that they hide it. But no one forces anyone to buy it
That is the problem! They hide it so no one really knows if the food or products they are getting is made in China.
Those foreign brand that moved their manufacture to China have total control on QA. If those company think the quality is too low they can reject it. Why do these corporation decided to sell crap to their own people? food product are unsafe, haha. When is the last time someone die from food made in China. see it yourself http://www.fda.gov/opacom/7alerts.HTML Even though i am Chinese i freaking hate China and it people..so i am not trying to say good thing about them
This story never fails to make me laugh: Interfax reports that media exposure has forced the government to respond to a scandal about soy sauce that was being made from human hair: "The Chinese government has shown an unusually high level of concern as a result of a bold media exposure towards a scandal in which human hair was used to make soy sauce. The government has now ordered an immediate inspection of all domestic food seasoning plants before the end of January. China Central Television (CCTV), the state television station, first raised public worries over the quality of domestic soy sauce by uncovering a substandard workshop in central China's Hubei Province, where piles of waste human hair were found. The hairs were treated in special containers to distill amino acid, the most common substance contained in soybean sauce. Human hair is rich in protein content, just like soybean, wheat and bran, the conventional and legally accepted raw ingredients for the production of soy sauce."
It is hard to believe, is it a joke? Soya beans are definitely much easier to acquire than human hair!
No joke! It's real. Human hair is a waste product and the enterprising factory manager found a use for it. Soy beans are not a waste product, so they cost more.
