China does not own America Did the banks own the U S housing market? and did not the banks need a government bail out? and did not the Chinese workers get a taste of how it feels to have an income? and well they not get unset when that income stops? Do you have any idea how many languages they speck in China? How do you think they well feel with 50% un-employment Allowed to have one child and you can’t feed that child?
china does not own the u.s.. n ill prolly consume none of there poison
tl;dr
I’ve spent months building an immunity to iocaine powder.
i ate a toy car the other day and i feel FINE. but i should probably go get myself checked out
two words other than these WAL MART
We will take it all and like it. We have commies in charge of the White House.
Glenn Beck Exposed another one tonight.
You better catch up with your mandarin lessons.
first of all china does not own the u.s. second of all not all this stuff goes into ur food n stuff so i dont know where u r getting this from and third of all r u on crack? just asking.
We should get the blue collar jobs back here, but nobody wants to buy Americans because they’re far too expensive. That’s the dilemma that you should be focussed on – how to get ordinary Americans to buy American products that are cheap and have a use to them
china and the usa have very different levels of regulations, as does the usa and the uk.
China does not own the usa but does produce almost everything in the usa………..pick up anything and see where it is made. your cup, your pen, your computer elements, keyboard etc……..
Also remember that the USA, UK AND EUROPE had all these problems of regulation levels not too many years back. The usa is famous for many cases that because of these case set new regulations.
erin brockovich will name only one case…..there are hundreds
I’ve become more aware of the Chinese products since the pet food disaster. Not long after that it was revealed that many vitamin supplements produced in China were also contaminated.
A few instances could be considered "accidental" but so many examples of lead poisoning and unsafe electrical products coming from China ought to wake people up that something evil is coming from that country.
Stores that sell the cheap sh** that China supplies should be avoided. Also avoid shopping at IKEA which has a ton of merchandise from that country.
Start reading labels for the country of origin and avoid buying goods made in China. Spend a little more money to get a better product made here in the USA.
Great question even if it is a bit too long…
I think we "little people" need to think deeply on our defense against such problems as faulty goods from China, and jobs leaking away overseas.
In the first case my defense is less consumerism.
In the second, put your purchases where you can support jobs over here. Do some research before you buy.
This is not a conservative or liberal problem (really!). It’s about corporations seeking to maximize their profits in the short term. The company where I used to work for many years — IBM — has discovered that it can get engineering and programming done in India for 1/5 of the US-Canada-Europe cost and has therefore moved jobs on a massive scale.
you get what you pay. if you buy cheap made in china stuff then crap is what you get.
