Almost EVERYTHING is made in China. Especially those cheap and fragile toys. I guess its sensible for the cheap labor but still. Why can't it say "Made in US" or "Made in Russia" or "Made by Nazis"? Asian are taking over with their lead paint. Its a start for their WORLD DOMINATION!!! Joking.

like what you said labor there is cheaper compare to US. they need cheap labor so the item is also cheap so that the consumer can afford to buy the item. theres also other item made from other country so you can just look at the manufacturer or where the item made from. i stay away from item made from china, its not because im kind of racist as have nothing to do with people in china but to the fact that the item is not in good quality and easy to get damaged even if its cheaper, so i will rather buy those expensive but last long than cheaper but only last for a month.

Cheap labor, of course. I just get tired of picking everything up saying, "Made in China". To me there is not enough stuff that says, "Made in U.S.A." Call it american pride, but I still feel the best made stuff is made in this country. It's too bad that companies think they need to outsource to other countries so they can make a profit. And some of these countries are in the U.S.A. While, I admit they need to make a profit to stay in business, they need to realize in order to help themselves they need to help this country too by helping the American worker who just wants a job.

I do agree there are alot of things that are made in China.There is alot of cheap items that you can get that are made by people on a low wage aswell as there are other countrys that could make these things that would charge alot more as they have a minimum wage therefor they would be dearer to buy.

I dont know where from you are. this is in reality the globalization. we all are dependant on each other, I am in India and never want the recession in US because it affects some what us. so indirectly these things bring us together. and make us far from any big war. other thing about china yes we are also using most of the things made in china. and many companies from usa doing this in china. earlier we use to buy even today we are using the products of USA like coke or pepse, proctor and gamble and uni-liver etc. they are earning but they are also generating jobs here , so that is just a matter of growing economies every where. so it is just creating a balance everywhere. by the time cost is lesser in china they will stay there and when they people ask more companies will go at other cheaper place. means for other poor people.

Tell me.. how many war movies have you seen? You got already your answer.. the cheap labor in China. Companies invest on it and therefore it is also right that the patent should be made in China excluding the Title of the company which originates elsewhere. World Domination is impossible.. US would be aware of it and would take instant action..

I think the reason for this is that China has the most number of workforce in the whole world. There are billions of Chinese out there. And as far as I know their labor is cheap. So most companies opted to build a factory in China and have their products manufactured in their.
