Is China a curse or a blessing?

Probably the first time I've ever agreed with you.

Let's virtually hug :giggle:

How's that China's fault?

[ALYKZANDYR]

Isn't that what the whole point is? Exporting production of something for cheaper labor to have higher profit margins?
Remember, greed is good.

I'd like to hear why you think Chinese made products are shitty, considering 90%, if not more, of whatever we buy are produced in China. Legit examples too, not your usual bullshit generalizations.

Here is an example

My dad ordered a workbench from miller, A company which makes the bulk of their products in america. Miller was selling the bench for an american made price However when it came in to our local welding shop, my dad looked at the packages, ( multiple boxes) all were marked "MADE IN CHINA" My dad was pissed, he was expecting it to be made in america. my dad was very disapointed, So he sent it back. Miller was charging an american made price for a chinese product.

I understand that from an economic standpoint, doing this makes sense to make more money, but it isnt right, it is deception, if they had listed it in the catalog, even is really small print as "imported" and charged a lesser price, it would be ok. Charging american prices for chinese products makes money but it isnt right.

it is this legit enough for you?

Truth is not universal. It depends who claims it. Even plain facts can be subjected to a point of view. Which is what usually feeds conflicts. But more to the point, is the rise of China as a possible industrial/military/economic world leader something we should fear or see positively? Honestly I am scared.

I personally like to deduce an opinion... Taking critical view points out of my analytical process seems to create a very dishonest, if not a nut-swinging, assessment. Please, people, do not deduct logic...

Im more concerned about the coming conflict with Iran at the moment.

And laughing at all the GW idiots. The panel has even based findings off of a student research paper! HA!

I hate Chinese products. There really shitty. That is my main problem with china. also If something is made in china, its cost should reflect that, it should be way cheaper, because quality is lower. Many products are like that, but some companies, charge American prices for Chinese made products. that is bull shit. it is pure profit for them.

hmmmm...
If we don't back off in Taiwan...
Maybe China will decide that it wants us to pay back all that money we borrowed. NOW.
Oh, you can't pay? Well I guess we'll just take the money back in land.
We now own California. Please move all your people as quickly as possible.
kthxbai.

Definitely agree with BillBrasky. Also, would it surprise any of you to know that the small manufacturing company I work makes things for GE in China?

Not everyone copies and pastes...

You know, it's not dificult to get a critical point of view. See. Analyze. Deduct. You should try. Maybe it'll work for you too...
