A man is wearing pro-USA garb that was all made in China. Man: If we let China manipulate its currency to create cheaper exports it'll give them an unfair advantage!
Who can compete against child labour, political prisoner labor and poverty level minimum wage sweatshops? The chinese economy is based on cruel exploitation and oppression and the rest of the world should have nothing to do with them. (Written on a-made-in-China iMac)
Don’t forget the American flags, which are flown over the Capitol building (and sold to customers!). Last I heard, they were being manufactured in you-know-where!
the domestic clothing industry is a far cry from decades ago. cheap, sweatshop imports. slave labor cost, no safety regulations(bangladesh), non-existent child labor laws. but, the jobs it creates are in these developing nations where any job is better than no job.
Hmm, my new Motorolla phone battery says “Cell origin Japan, finished in China”, which is interesting as it was Motorolla years ago that sold their electronics patents to Japan and China, opening the gate Nixon unlocked.
Strange but True: Chinese Companies are now bringing their Money to the US and Buying Up closed down American Factories.Word is that, even with the “Cheap” labor, the costs of Shipping the stuff to the US is now making reopening some of those factories Cheaper..Well, That, and the fact that the Cost of Chinese Labor is going Up because the supply of Skilled Workers is running Out..China is having a Building Boom and lots of the “Cheap Labor” is building Chinese Infrastructure instead of “Exports for America”..According to Forbes:.“China Used More Concrete In 3 Years Than The U.S. Used In The Entire 20th Century " .
