I try to avoid products made in China. Way too much fuel is wasted in the transport. Unfortunately I am forced to buy some products from China because they aren't made anywhere else.dragonfly411 said:I don't think it's synonymous of bad quality, but I'd much rather buy something made in my home country (US), mainly to generate economic flow here.

You can find videos of how they make steamed bbq pork buns out of cardboard online! they said it tastes just like the real thing, and that scares the crap out of me...
i buy my 24K jewelry in S.F. chinatown.canuk-gal|1320355975|3053458 said:HI:
I don't buy clothing, food, or furniture made in China. Thing is, if the shoes you buy say "made in Italy"--does that preclude all the "ingredients" at went into it? Could the thread or the dye be produced in China, but be overall product be manufactured in Italy?
Just curious DF--I buy 24K jewellery manufactured in China (or India). What about you???

Joke of the year!..yes, maybe the finest FAKES in the world...hdom|1376517808|3503174 said:China is very capable to make some of the finest products in the world. Luxury item makers, be it in fashion, cars, jewellery, electronics, etc, purposely set up their factories in China for reasons beyond labour cost. ie. BMW even came out openly to say some of the best quality cars are made in the Chinese factory.
I happen to know some manufacturers in China and they say, a lot of the Chinese crap you see everywhere is due to the importers or business that wanted to make the most profit as possible and so they pressed the factories in China on the cost and at some point, the cost can't get any lower and quality will have to suffer.
