Is everything made in China?

[Bigdude]

Been to the store lately? Noticed how everything is made in China? Soon they will build all our cars, and motorcycles too!

 

[Atlantean]

I was made in canada.

 

[911paramedic]

I don't know where I was "made", but I was born in Los Angeles

Two words: cheap labor

[notfred]

I try not to buy things that are made in China. I don't care much for China.

Everbody Who Buys Anything "Made In China", Please Read This.

Time To Boycott :|

 

[Infos]

Yes......

I have been concerned about this for quite a while. It's fine to say you won't
buy their products but in many cases you don't have a choice

How could you possibly have a trade embargo against them?

It seems like they are easily making 70-80 % of products. Even though they haven't
starting making cars yet.....you know it won't be long.
TV's are starting to show up. I guess they were forbid for a while to export them but
they are definitely showing up now. :disgust:

The worst offender is Motorola. They invest more money in China that any other U.S. corporation.

 

[Bigdude]

I heard GM, and Ford are building factories there.

 

[Nefrodite]

last time i went to mervyns a buncha stuff was made in Pakistan oddly enough

<< Two words: cheap labor >>



Wouldn't places like Indonesia, Malaysia, or Mexico do?

 

[swayinOtis]

a lot of it is made by politcal prisoners.

those sks rifles that flooded our market 5 years ago were sold by a front company for the people's army. their friggin' army was selling assault rifles in our country and reaping huge profits.

exactly.


and to think, our government wants to grant them "most favored nation" status and dump billions of trade dollars in their lap.

yup, time to boycott em all. gotta be fair arab oil? they treat their women worse then the chinese! fs.ck them! Boycott em all! or are you too weak..you friggin pansies!

 

[Atrail]

Well it is a difficult balance.
If their economy is very dependent on our consumption.
Than they are that much less of a threat to us.
And who is are biggest threat?

Yes, they would do. But for some reason large corporations have this fascination with China. :frown:

do you guys really believe this??



<< --China is a repressive COMMUNIST country with almost one-third (1.1 billion) of the world's population. >>


ummm, yea

The more you think about it, the less sense it makes. Why do U.S. companies have to go half way around the world to build factrories when we a large (and not to mention stable) democractic country right on our southern border?

 

[Nefrodite]

<< --China has given every U.S. city a Chinese name >>

ugh yea, kinda like how we call china china instead of jhong ghok( cantonese version). you need to get out more.. maybe even out of your own state.

what does china call america? mei ghok(once again the cantonese version) i think it means beautiful country. so nyaaa!!

<< I try not to buy things that are made in China. I don't care much for China. >>



Amen.

I recently heard that the Chinese tax on US goods is 42%, whereas our tax on goods made in China is 2%. Is that true?

Also, there was the AP photo of Chinese prisoners sowing American flags. Some of those guys were probably arrested for supporting democracy and freedom of religion

 

[JellyBaby]

The week after China Shainghi-ed our E-3 after one of their Migs ran into it I boycotted Chinese products. At least I tried. As the thread says a helluva a lot of items are made there.
