Can we trust the product from China?

Well really it depends on the company/person you purchase it from, not all of them are trustable but some are. I recently heard that lollies imported in Australia contained toxic substances causing many children to be ill. I agree with your last statement 'Always go for genuine products. '

I believe that since China has allowed capitalism (their version of it) to open up within their country, it has exploded their economy. I have seen an article in National Geographic Mag. about cities that are springing up overnight. Because it is growing so overwhelmingly fast, China is not able to have the safety and health regulations needed for the manufacturing of products. Companies are just "doing their own thing". Currently, I would be very skeptical of anything that is manufactured there.

That's a very good point you made there goldwin65. I don't actually buy any intimation products but there is always a risk when doing that. As you mentioned there is often no warranty to cover the expense for repairs when it does break down unlike buying something from a reputable brand that would have the warranty. I think it is ok if you buy an imitation for jewllery though. I don't mean like plastic diamonds or anything i mean laboratory made diamonds. They are reported to be identical to the real thing and not even experts can tell the difference. Other than that i think it's best to stick to the good trusted brands that delivery high quality products over potentially inferior imitation counterparts.

hello goldwin65 thanks for your comment for chinese products. i'm a chinese,i'm a international sales,i sell containers of goods each months. here, i'm not giving comments on chinese products.i just want to correct something. china nowdays is very different from old times, china is developing rapidly. china is big,there are so many factories,they produce different products, different quantity with different value. there are good products for people who want to buy high quality with high price, there are also worse products for people who just want to buy common quality with cheap price. so that our products can satisfy all people who live in different levels. anyway, you should thanks chinese suppliers. do you think so? of course, there must be some suppliers which produce worst products but sell with high price, we also hate them. but you can't comment all chinese suppliers according to one or two.

Chinese products make me sick. No matter how much emphasis we put on lead or anything else, they seem so careless with everything. Is it really that hard to just make a GOOD product. I know some things that are cheaper don't really make a difference between the more expensive product. But for the most part, everything they make sucks. Their carelessness is not only giving people a headache from its crappyness, but their products have killed so many children. When are they going to care about the lives of children? China products suck.

Yes Chines goods are nice. But you can use them for once. If have some prob it canno be repaired. U will have to throw them, and one more thing toys of china are harmful for childrens.

there's nothing wrong about chinese products, they are cheap, and are also the same as the other original products.. but i do not recommend it because those products like cellphones from china, and other gadgets are easily to be ruin or and its hard to fix them since the parts are from china.. i have once bought a china tv phone, but i can't install programs or other themes on my phone.. china phones does'nt have the all features its has being said by other sellers.... you should buy a more known phone in your place or original ones. so that you will not have problems with it, can enjoy the full features..

Hello,Goldwin! In recent times every where you will find Chinese products,electrical and electronics,which are cheap compared to products of other countries.But these are in no way better.People who purchased and used once a Chinese product never long to purchase second time.However I have purchased a computer made in China and using for the last twelve years without any problem.thanx,

Like you, I'm not against products from China as well. They still have some of the best products in the world such as tea, black mushrooms, and other herbal medicine. I don't trust the milk products and am very weary when buying food made in China. I've never bought any electronic devices from China even though I've seen a lot of really nice cellphones there. I'm curious to learn more about the fake iPhone that you bought. What's a shake phone?!!

do not trust food china products, they will harm your healthy

Hi Time has really come to decide whether we'll go for chinese products or not. Chinese products are attractive because of low price. But in or der provide goods at a low price, the chinese people compromise with the quality most of the time without knowing the consequences of such compromise. Take the example of kids toy issue. These are attractive in design and price, but very much dangerous to health due to the product used in manufacturing the toys. So, I think, at least for the time being, until chinese authority comes up with better quality product, should refrain from purchasing chinese product. This is what I'm following now - wait and watch.

I actually dont buy products that are made from china coz usually it is defective. I dont either buy products that are immitation since i know i will just waste my money knowing that the product wont last longer. I never even bought food made from china because of fear that the product might contain chemicals that is harmful. It has something to do with the quality and credibility of the imported items from there country and has nothing to do with there race. I am a chinese blood too and i am personally not buying product base on what race made the item but base on quality.

Well, nothing against China products, but they have been many instantaneous where people thought they bought a genuine product but it was a fake. There was this incident where a guy from Taiwan bought a Nokia phone from China at a great price. He didn't check his phone back then, so when he came back to Taiwan, he found out that the 'phone' was actually a calculator. China do have a few phone brands that copy the iPhone. The interface and design looks extremely alike in some models. But do take note that they run on Window smartphone OS, not Apple's Os. As a guideline, be careful when going for cheap stuff. There is rarely a free lunch in this world.

Well my friend, i live in India and here chinese imitated product means CHEAP PRODUCT/DUPLICATE PRODUCT WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE AND VERY SHORT LIFETIME. people here buy those products only because its less than half price of original and its use and throw kind of thing, Chinese products are always without any guarantee... now a days in my area, "Chinese" name has been assigned to anything which is without guaranteed and which should be thrown once it gets any problem.

unfortunately the old adage "you get what you pay for" really holds true on most of the 'imitation" items out there. when it comes to electronics, i will save for a couple of months to afford a decent (mid-grade at least) brand name. cause i know if i go ahead and spend the cheaper amount on the cheaper item, its gonna break far sooner than i expect..even if i do give it a short lifespan in my own head lol! as for china produced food items..no way! and toys, shoot, for the past 2 xmas ive been scared to choose a toy for my neices and nephews, worried that they were made in china and have lead or something on/in them! ive gotten them both gift cards instead and told my sister to find things that she is sure are not made in china!

yes , i agree with you that china is losing reputation in the international market. they should stop producing low quality and health risk products. before it was their toys that was recalled because of harmful chemicals used in plastic toys that could be poisonous when children bit on them. now they have this chemicals added on their milk to imitate the taste of milk on a very cheap price so that they will be able to earn more money from the products but the milk does not offer any nutritional value and worse it can damage the liver of infant and small babies and children. they are not concerned at all on the safety and health of people buying their products. they are just more concenred on the profits they are going to make. this does not give good signals on international arena. people and other countries will shy away from china's products and this will bring more bad effects on their economy in the long term after some initial profit that they get from cheating. seems that they don't get botyhered when other people will die with those products or milk that they have produced. though we can't blame the government itself because it is the private companies whoare guilty of these crimes. hopefully the government will be able to check other products that have used some chemicals that will be harmful to health. but the way i see it, here in my country. there are still many people who will going to patrionize the china products though not the milk. but the toys and other products like appliances cause they are much cheaper. and it is tempting those items. but still i will not buy them cause i don't need to buy much appliances now. i rarely buy items at all.

the Chinese product are cheap but not in good quality .now a days the market is full of chinese product .some pepole perfer it being good in looking and cheap in price .now adays the chinese mobile are selling at very cheap rate having good looking and qualities according to nokia mobile .but i never perfer it because it is only imitation.

at first ,i want to tell you that i am a chinese ,i admite many products of our country made are poor in quality ,not only in your country ,but in my own country ,it is normal to see many imitation goods in all kinds of market .but i do not sgree with you that all product which were made by my country were bad ,there are also many products which have good quality and very famous in the world .

Here in the Philippines, lots of phones in the market are also from China. Like you, the ones buying them also complain that although it is cheaper than the phones made in Europe, the quality is very questionable. And just recently, the issues of melamine chemical which was mixed with milk and milk products from China exploded here in our country. (I hope you heard about this. These chemical caused fatalities in China.) And so, the Department of Health here ordered that all milk and dairy products made in China should undergo a lab test to determine whether they contain melamine. And that all product importation from China be held temporarily. I agree with the lesson you mentioned, we should really go and buy the originals. Happy posting!

Hi,goldwin65,i think you have a bias on Chinese products.I know you are not against products from China or any other countries,you said clearly in your discussion.I totally understand your condition and i'm sorry for your loss. But in my opinion,the phone or other things you bought is not good not only beacuse they're from China.You wanna offer a lower price and by an imitation so you have to accept the consequences.I mean the quality of products depends on the cost of the production.Even if you buy an imitation with the same price from other coutries,it wouldn't be better. So dear,i think the lesson you've got is quite right,imitation goods are not so good whatever they are from.
