Exactly! Any multi-national worth five cents has production capacity in China or somewhere in Asia.

That's right . Most of the time I buy products from the best companies

the railroad was built by Chinese engineers

Chinese inventions - the gunpowder, the compas, hell, even the paper, and they "can't do shit but copy"?

haha
Chinese engineers my ass
lol
with your example you do nothing but prove my point
gunpowder... when did they first start using that? a 1000 years ago? :)

depens on what I´m buying!

There is a book "The Genius of China 3000 Years of Science, Discovery,
and Invention" (Robert Templeton) worth a read :thumbsup

Modern day China is concentrating on being the largest economic and industrial powerhouse the planet has ever seen - a modest ambition :-)

Its not the chinese's its american business who want to pay nothing to have things made.It forces these guys to bid lower and lower to get the contract.Which feeds cutting corners.
For some reason Americans think its their god given right to pay the lowest price possible for everything and then have the balls to bitch when the quality is shit.

Almost everything is made in China... you have no choice these days

yeah, lots of them are out in the market.........
gadgets, clothing, toys everything......

LOL dangerous goods? I see the propaganda machine got to you... It's scary how easy some people can get influenced.

It does seem strange that all these problems seem to have arisen, oh, in the past month. Everything from fish to toys. Politics being played? Maybe. We're more picky? Maybe. Actual product more dangerous due to increased cost cutting or increasing indifference? Maybe. Who knows these days.

I do care. When there is a choice, I will buy something made in this country. Same with green products. When there is an option to buy something recycled vs virgin, I am gonna buy recycled. And price dosent even factor in, I have paid double or triple before so I could have my prefference.

Its becoming harder and harder these days to find ANYTHING made here.

anyone from the US also still not buying french products? god some people are so easy to brainwash.

Depends on the product and if it is reasonably priced

lol that's awesome

I don't discriminate

I don't look at where it's made from, when purchasing a product

Ironically one the best marketing guru's is also French - and with a string of clients from General Motors onwards. His speciality is in creating a target market and convincing them of a "need", a boost in their ego or whatever - and leading em like a lambs to the slaughter - or credit card :)

His marketing obviously works - there are plenty maxed-out cards as evidence *lol*
