Is anything made here anymore ? I know , I know US made things are expensive - so is our collective greed and desire to save a buck eventually going to put you out of work ? So you will have NO choice than to buy CHINA made junk ( no pun intended ) . Today you might have a choice but tomorrow you won't.
Great foothold on America -- lure Americans into thinking that CHINA is so cheap and when they get America hooked on low prices they will slowly rise them - so the typical American boob doesen't even know the difference anymore.
Just like the big office stores and the home improvement and the big wherehouses stores did in the 80's and 90's and now the typical American goes to thoes stores like the BAAaaaaa SHEEP that we are. Baaaaa Baaaaaa
Are you sick and tired of seeing MADE IN CHINA on just about everything you buy ?
no, not at all. I just buy.
Reply:NO
Reply:Does that bother you? I have no problems in this case, as long as the products are in good condition.

Reply:Yes it pisses me off. It takes advantage of Chinese workers and their government is the one to profit off of it..as well as ours. It's disgraceful and disgusting and most people brush it off as if its nothing...or else they make some excuse as to why we and they need it so that they can keep their conscious clean.
Reply:I would concentrate on trying to get through high school before you take on he problems of the world. You are not quite prepared to lecture to the American people
Reply:when i was a kid, it was a joke about a product made in china for it meant it was really inferior, they changed and became adept at production and they have cheap labor.
in '86 while walking to our cars after the work day, my co worker mentioned that it was terrible that we lost so many due to cut backs and she wondered why? i told her to look in the parking lot at all the cars. that is when foreign cars started outselling American made cars for the were cheaper and high quality. that is when i realized my world as i knew it was changing.
maybe globalization is inevitable but it is sad. even our flags come from china these days. that indeed is a sad to me and a comment on our current situation.
Reply:Yes. It's not just the poor quality, it's the fact that American people have many fewer job opportunities because manufacturing jobs have disappeared in this country, while Chinese workers are often kept in virtual slavery conditions that Americans would never tolerate for themselves, and they are paid so little, they can barely survive. Chinese automobiles will soon hit the American market. That will put even more Americans out of work while we get cheap cars which will fall apart and kill people.
Reply:It doesnt bother me.
Reply:How do you spell absolutely, I go out of my way to look for products that say made in America even if I have to pay more, that is my way to protest. what do you think they are going to do with all mthe revenue they are getting out of this country? I believe that they are petronizing till they are nice %26amp; ready.
Reply:nope doesn't bother me at all
Reply:Yes, but not that much. I always make fun about outsourcing. ENgland outsource their work to the US. Us outsource to China, and now China outsouce to Vietnam. Frankly I believe we should increase our pay, but our cheaper labor is hurting Europe. We need to make sure AMericans work no more than 35 hours, get one month of vacation atleast, and more holidays.
As for China, they have maxed out on their productivity, and until they can improve their infrastructure so they can use cheaper labor source in their inland regions, their growth rate should decline. THe problem is that I see them outsourcing their work to countries we are even less friendly with and the US companies are prepared to build new factories in countries with even lower pay.
My theory in life is that its a corporate conspiracy to move the factories in CHina. THey saw one and one third billion potential customers, but lack the money to buy goods. So they move the factories their to improve their economy so they would increase their consumption. Now that their income is at a decent rate, they are moving to the next country to do the same. Frankly I'm afraid of the Environmental impact when the world all have incomes equivalent China. Imagine 6 billion people all buying stuffs.
Reply:I no longer buy products that say made in china or Canada or anywhere else for that matter. It is hard to buy all that I need made in the good old US of A, but I don't care about paying the higher price. As long as what I consume and wear is safe.
It is very disturbing that what me and my family consume each day comes from china and other country's that probably don't have the same regulations as the USA. Who knows what is in these products. I hope we can produce our own food and clothing without worrying about how much it costs.
Reply:Did you know that things are actually made in Latin America. china out sources their product making too for even cheaper labor from central American countries for jobs like putting parts together.
Reply:I know what you mean! I am sick and tired of hearing news stories about baby toys and children's toys being made with lead based paint and need to be recalled, so I have stopped buying anything that says "Made in China", and hope that if we all do this that those companies that send their products overseas to be processed all go out of business or go broke. Then maybe the American citizens can actually afford to eat again and the US companies that continue to do this will learn a valuable lesson. Keep it in the US and keep America going!
Reply:Initially I must ask what the importation of goods from China has to do with IMMIGRATION?
What is the major difference between goods made in China and goods made in the US? Obviously it is the over all cost. Cost to manufacture, cost of labor, and cost to the wholesaler.
Are goods manufactured in the US more expensive? Perhaps, but you get what you pay for.
Wholesalers (Wal Mart being the PRIME example of this) and even some corporations with manufacturing needs do business with China. Mainly because they can purchase or have goods made at a lower price.
Here is the draw back: no quality control, no regulations or standards to follow, no real labor laws to adhere to (typically resulting in inhumane treatment of workers forced to work at VERY low wages), and no governing body enforcing policies to protect the end user - which is pretty important when dealing with food and drug imports. You generally get the exact OPPOSITE of all of this with goods manufactured in the US - I would rather pay a bit more to know my child won't get lead poisoning from a toy made in the US, what about you?
These companies that do business with companies only care about their bottom line, not your safety, however the tables are starting to turn and in recent weeks more and more goods from China have been shown to be less than par.
Companies have been lining their pockets with bad trade for decades, hopefully they will be forced to actually give a sh*t about the end consumer if this all keeps up.
Reply:Twenty Five years ago the U. S. led the world in manufactured products. Now those "made in China" lables are the only reason the U.S. isn't part of the "North American Union". The America we pledged alligence to as children is a memory, the global elitist fascists have destroyed it.
Reply:Way past that! Now look at all the recalls! I am sure the average American individual would like to be independent enough to be self sufficient, unfortunately, the government in this country wants to do things "their" way, regardless of the concerns of the American people. I really hate talking about it and action must be done. Overthrown this government before this whole country sinks like a ship!
Reply:we have done it to ourselves in the eternal search for a bargain...
Reply:While Americans have been busy bitching about Mexicans, the Chinese have taken over America!!
