Was browsing through Consumerist as always and came upon this, didnt read the entire article though. Just wanted to express my 2cents.

http://www.usatoday.com/money/advertising/2010-01-07-made-in-china-products_N.htm

Im sure most of us are aware that most products that you're using are manufactured in some remote sweat shop or factory in China. Maybe if you go on some random forum, you might start seeing 1 post accounts advertising mainstream designer apparel for ridiculous prices or on Ebay merchants putting up 10 exact replica G Star jackets all sold @ 1/4 of its retail price. The fact is that we do produce a lot of shit, bootleg replicas of products, which falls apart or might kill you. Although I cant deny that bootleg products are all abysmal quality.

What I just find totally contradicting is the fact that people criticize the products, yet continue to support them. Again, cant blame them, since practically every consumer product can be manufactured in China. But the public seems to blame every manufacture in China for this imperfection. In my opinion, majority of these products come from shady, illegal, unlicensed and mismanaged bootleggers. China is roughly almost the same size as the U.S but more than 4x the population inhabit PRC, its impossible to manage without extensive corruption in the administration. Every so often you see hundreds of poor coal miners dying because of illegal nonadministrative mining or corporations trying to save money opt not to regulate safety equipment or the environment around them.

All-in-all to be honest China doesnt even need to worry about losing its foreign economic dependability*, in my view its the total opposite. Even though I was never really fond of China, since all the shit we get from everyone is true. But sooner or later if not now, everything you own is made by us and either sold to you at ridiculous prices. Muhahahaha!!

We would have decent sense of human rights if we werent totally suppressed by the Communist government. As least we're getting more capitalistic, which I dont even want to know if its a good thing.

People do what's immediately good for themselves unless they are aware of the world around them, a rare case.

How many times do people worry about the place that manufactures their stuff. If it's not gonna hurt them, why bother? That's the common mentality.

In China it's one of those examples of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. TBH, other than the media, China's policies are as about as right-wing as you can get.

That being said, the poor in China live a really, really, low quality life. That's just one of those trade-offs in being able to manufacture products as such a cheap price.

To the topic about counterfeits, and human rights, to most Han mainland Chinese, they couldn't give a crap bit more. Most people are just caught up trying to earn money and nurture a successful family. They don't have time to give a *insert bad word here* about what's happening to coal miners or Tibet people. China is very competitive and it's one of those dog eat dog worlds.
the throws never bothered me anyway

Or you guys could start saving? We had a big debt (relatively) and got rid of it. Americans just don't seem to care.

I know, maybe capitalism is closer to democracy.
Whenever you think of a democracy, you think of sort of a free market. Of course its not limited to this type of government.

Well people are just criticising the government for not doing more to stop the illegal industry. Yes they are indirectly "supporting it" in their daily lives but they are detached from it, similar to deforestation. So it's hard to give a shit when it affects your comfortable life too much.
No I'm never serious.

Hell, I know I care; seems like the government is always interested in their own agenda than the will of the people (shocking).
