i think its time to boycott products from china?

Answer 1

Good luck... nearly 90 percent of everything is made in China...lol

Answer 2

A stupid statement!
China does not make anything or export anything that was not ordered by some multinational corporation - especially American.
Before China, America orders and manufactures its products in Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, Taiwan - because of cheap labor there. Do you know the biggest Nike factory is in Korea? The biggest Motorola and Texas Instruments factory is in Malaysia? Now that these country's labor is getting expensive, America turns to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and China. Almost 90% of China's biggest industries are Western based corporations. When China opened up its doors, all major corporations were lining up to enter. They were not interested in year to year contracts. The minimum is a 5 year plus 5 year extension. Do you know that China makes more Jeeps than the US?
So you want to boycott products from China. Go ahead. You will end up starving and having not even underpants to wear.

Answer 3

If we make our own toys from our own resources for this one season then we could gain a true joy of the finished product. It is too easy to buy something made than it is to make. We need to always hold on to the skill of making our own products, it may slow the rush of a holiday season but it will still come on time no matter what. I would not go as far as to boycott from China. I would just not look outside my own skill development for all that I want or need tis our season to be joyful, let us begin!

Answer 4

That won't be easy. I have been avoiding Chinese food products as much as possible, even way before these reports ever happened. If you eat out; than chances are there will be something you're eating that came from there as well, especially, if it's seafood or mushrooms or other canned or frozen goods. There have been other reports that China has allegedly been using names of other countries as their origins. The list goes on and on. Who's the biggest capitalist pig now? Now knowing that they are destroying their own resources such as rivers and air quality in the process and endangering their own peoples lives and health with nearly total disregard. Our desire for cheap goods has enslaved many populations of people in third world countries this way. The greed of corporations and middle men are also profiting from their disposable lives, which makes us all just as guilty by ignoring these likely exploitations. We are a world at war with our own conscience and ignorance. Don't you see the hypocrisy of economic stability being just another brand of "slavery" and what many refer to as a global economy?

On the other hand: our peoples think tank,apparently,seems to expect these same third world countries to get comfortable with their newly revised cultures and economic growth to spur new visions of their own brand of democracy and share in it's profits. They will exhaust their own peoples patience as well and bring on a new: "working party" revolution. (ta-da?)

Answer 5

Many of the products being produced in china are actually made by western companies. They are developed in the west and only manufactured in china because it is cheaper to produce things in large quantities because of cheap labor. That new toy that contained GHB (date rape drug) was produced in china but research and development for the toy was made somewhere else.

Answer 6

I think you are right. The government is too bogged down by the politics involved to see the situation for what it is, dangerous. We the consumers need to put our foot down and say NO we will not buy things made in China until they get their sh** together.

Answer 7

I don't. On what basis, or do you simply like to make uninformed biggoted comments. You see western economies are based consumerism and the Chinese economy is based on production. We all, you all consume too much and the chinese produce all the crap we don't actually need at very competitive prices so well done to them.

If you don't like it don't boycott the chinese just take a look at your lifestyle and actual needs.

Answer 8

Do ya' think?

For the past few decades we have funded a communist country that wants to rule the world.

And now they have our money and our jobs to do it.

They are killing the earth while our (European/US) politicians continue heaping on regulations that drive our few good jobs out.

All in the name of cheap socks.

Scary times are coming I fear.

Answer 9

Absolutely. If we don't buy the stuff, it can't kill us, and they will get the message that we won't put up with shoddy or dangerous merchandise. I would pay a little more for what they manufacture and sell as long as I know there is no danger in its use.

Answer 10

They firmly have us at our bollocks, do not offend them. If they do no longer perform charity by buying our worthless US Treasuries, then this ship will sink faster than the the US Lusitania
