I have a special friend who told me a story. He said, they did attend a Sunday mass and heard the priest telling a joke after the mass. The priest said. God created the earth, created the heavens and etc. Then the priest stop and said, after that the rest is MADE OF CHINA!LOL! But is is true?Because when I try to think about what he said, it actually give sense. If you try to check the labels on your stuff, most of them are made in China.Is there something wrong about it?I'm just curious. =)

Most goods are imported are from china. The ref, stoves, TV, etc are made in china. Much of the clothing comes from china too. Almost all manufactured products found in a Third World home, from kitchen utensils to a basin in a bathroom, to a lamp in the living room are made in china, imported from China, via a Chinese company. There is no middlemen. Nobody never noticed that the past decades China was becoming the major trading partner for hundreds of ignored nations.

Well, it's true that many products are made in China today. I even heard that when some Chinese went abroad for shopping , they are surprised to see that the goods they bought are labled made in China. LOL~

Sadly, nothing is MADE IN AMERICA anymore or MADE IN THE UK (my friend and I were joking about this one) because everything is always MADE IN CHINA, MADE IN INDIA, or MADE IN (insert country here).
This is true though. Rarely is anything Made in America or Made in the United Kingdom anymore, and it is sad. I remember when I used to see a lot of things being made here in the U.S., but it is not that way anymore.
To me, there is something wrong with it because it shows that we don't have the jobs and the pride in our country that we used to have, and that is something that we need to have.

alot of things are made there for sure. China's got alot of people(duh)to make stuff not to mention how much many of each person works for each hour(very low cost) which contributes to production. also the lack of safety regulations compared to American jobs also encourages more production. you wouldn't see an American working for the hourly wage the people in China work for.

most of the consumer items today are made from china. ranging from clothes, shoes, to electronics. maybe because there are a lot of factories in china because they have a good number of manpower resources. even big companies outsource to these factories (though the label and branding will be made in their country. there is really nothing wrong with that, however for elctronics, it's not really advisable to purchase items that are made in china because they are not of quality. really.

I do not think there is anything wrong with it. It just means that their manufacturing and marketing skills seem to be ahead of the rat race.
This my dear is what it all about is to to market and produce the most to be the richest and most successful. Although it may seem that China is ahead I am pretty sure that other countries have productions quite ahead as well.

yes thats the reality^^ almost everything is made in china and i guess is bcs chinese people really work too much and you only need to pay a little :( china is a very poor country and everyone has to work much to survive :( i know this bcs also in my country there are a lot of chinese stores and restaurants and they usually stay here instead of go back to china bcs here they receive more money and can even have their own business and have more freedom and im happy bcs i really love chinese people and is so sad that they spend mostly all their day working instead of enjoying life :(

yes dear, most of the things we buy, see, and use today, are made in china. The probable reason is because production and raw materials in china are a lot cheaper than in other countries, and because of the free trade their products are everywhere... :) I heard they have their own version of ipad already :) The only problem that i site is that many of their products are mediocre in terms of safety and quality. That's just my opinion. :)
