my aunt just returned from a visit to Washington d.c she brought my kids back gifts and one of the things they got were red white and blue pens with the capital on them. the funny part was the only writing on the pen was " made in china".
Am I the only one thats sees somin wrong with this picture?

yeah, something definitelly wrong with all this made in china crap. That nation has one of the worst human rights records in history but we're trading with them. They steal our technology, our jobs, our money, but us stoopid people just go to Stuffmart again and again and buy more made in china S H I T.
I think we should slap some serious tarrifs on the crap they're trying to sell here so local businesses can compete with their cheap labor products.

Nope! You're absolutely right. We're selling our country away to other countries at the speed of light.
It's hard to go anywhere these days to find things made in the US. You can blame consumers for wanting goods at cut-rate cost. I'd rather spend a little more to have something made in the US.
If anyone wanted to become a billionaire fast, all they'd need to do is open a retail store selling US made merchandise ONLY!

That's what happens when the economy goes bad that everything's made in China nowadays. Outsourcing job which is a common thing these days since the president was elected. If the economy was good, then maybe there are more jobs for the Americans and not ship it elsewhere.

No, it helps us Americans save money. My sister in law is having her patterns reproduced in China then sent back here with her approval of it to be sold here, she lives in NY and it is helping her business.
Coach purses are made in China and some other good things, but I will agree some of the stuff is cheap and it does look funny to be on an American colors pen.

So the pen was made in China. Big deal. We live in Japan. Half the thigns we buy here were made in China or Taiwan. That is how it works.

i think it is important to realise that in spite of all of US's unfair trade practices (heavy import tariffs and subsidies), china can still outwit them. that is world trade. it affects all the countries in the world the same. human rights record? please give me a break!! The last people to talk about this should be the red white and blue brigade!

It is quite ironic. Problem is it's the cheapest place they can get them done. impass. I suppose if they were to be made in America they would need to up the price.
