Made in China

China is not America's Friend yet.

Current as of 9/9/07

"Made in China" is simply another name for "junk." We buy their cheaper products and how much are they worth in a couple of years? Buying all that depreciated junk leaves China with our cash, which, if they are smart, they will immediately convert into gold, silver or platinum and copper, which won't depreciate.

You see, this won't be the first time China got our cash (cash which is worth no more than the fickle whims of worldwide trust in the dollar). The last time the Chinese got our cash was just prior to the Opium Wars in the late 1800's where we forced China, against its own laws, to take opium in exchange for our own cash. You might say that we and Great Britain were the drug cartel of the times. The result was the theft of their ports, Hong Kong being one of them, to force the import of British and American trade triangle opium. You might also say we owed them one if you don't count our helping them to oust the Japanese during World War II.

The title Chinese junk is best applied to describing their products which in my mind don't even use tolerances. Products by the same company can come with a variety of screw ups generally due to poor quality assurance and almost non-existent product testing.

However, Americans on their way to National bankruptcy demand these cheap products to maintain their spendy trendy lifestyles. No longer do most of us choose to buy American. To do so would leave a consumer with few choices indeed.

A boycott of Chinese goods, though entirely justified, is not ever likely to happen. More likely, the Chinese will gain more control over our markets.

Most of these problems are due to our poor buying habits and lack of personal responsibility, both politically and economically.

The answer lies the personal decisions you make every day. Buy less from China and less in general is the answer. President George W. Bush's rhetoric for America to spend its way out of recessions is neither healthy for you or for China. Abstinence from Chinese products will force quality improvements in the long run and support what's left of American Manufacturing.
