Why are we still importing products from China?

I may not be chinese, but I travel to China frequently and disagree with you. Yes China ships out some products that are bad, but the majority are great. Ask yourself this question, How many products are made in the U.S.A. that are just as bad or worse than the bad products from China. The only reason it became so public is because China is so big when it comes to exporting products to America. Ask yourself why the American government is pointing fingers elsewhere. What are they hiding from the public? What don't they want you to notice. Maybe a new law or tax increase they want to sneak by. How many products or homes in the U.S. are painted with a lead based paint? How many schools are painted with lead based paint and have asbestos in them. Remember years ago the town that was built on a toxic dump? How many other towns are built over a toxic dump? How many barrels of toxic waste are in your lakes and rivers? Why does your government allow Canada to ship their garbage over the boarder into the U.S. Does your government actually inform you of all this dumping of trash and chemicals? Hop down off your high horse and be realistic. Every manufacturer around the globe has the potential of producing something bad for us. It is our job to educate ourselves. Don't bad mouth a country because of bad product! Bad mouth the companies that produced it. There are a lot more businesses out there that produce high quality products out there than ones that don't, Be fair to them.

I think it has a lot to do with the money owed and the size of China. Right now world relations is so shaky. The best solution, is to by made in the USA. For safety as well as the well being of our country

The reason that everyone still imports products from China because they have cheap labour and we get a lot of products for cheaper, even if we don't the people who sell it do thus helping them earn more profits.

I try to not buy products from China. I don't have kids, but I don't like spending good money on poor quality items. And the reason it continues...the HUGE amount of money we owe them.

If Chinese products are so bad and contain bad things that could kill people, then why are there so many chinese? China's population is now well over two billion not including all the chinese people living abroad. Think about it!

As a chinese, i am sorry to you at first that you get the bad things from china. But I also want to say everything has two aspects. maybe it is terrible to you, but china as a large exporting market,many products are cheap than others. We do our best to promote the quality and service. every country has their shortage and superiority. So I hope you can understand

It's still very much cheaper than a lot of goods out there, and it's really competitively priced, hence a lot of people still buy china-made products. In fact there are so many products that are made in China, that people don't even read where it is from anymore. Cheap labour, cheap factories... why not? It's the perfect place for making profits.

We have to deal with China because we're so evil. Pure and simple. Dealing with China is reparations for America's cruelty. I mean, we all realize that Arizona's law is the world's biggest atrocity and it's actually hurting China that we're so evil. And the amount of money we owe them probably plays a role too.

I was wondering the same thing when I had to take my kids cup away from her the other day because it was recalled.

The owing money should not be the main reason. I think it has something to do with marketing. Chinese production is really cheap and is not always of bad quality, such as the textile. China exports lots of kinds of production. It's hard to make sure everything is good. But if you stop buying,the marketing will give a lesson to the producers and force them to insure the good quality.
