The China Effect

I saw a commercial for a news story of a family in the area trying to live a week without any products Made In China from the lead paint scare in children's toys. The reporter said if we Americans all banned Chinese made products we could make great change in Chinese regulations of dangerous products. Good luck with that. Chinese made products are everywhere.

Every shoe but New Balance brand is Made in China (Yes even expensive brand names are Made in China). New balance in Made in USA.

Every other piece of clothing in Made in China, with few exceptions of other 3rd World Countries. Some labels say American made materials assemblied in a 3rd World Country.

Flags, books, toys, electronics, pillows, blankets, decorations, and furniture sitting in American homes mostly will have Made in China labels. Well, computers and TVs would be Made in Japan. Chinese products are going to be very hard to ban from any home, it will as easy as that one church down south tried to ban Disney. Disney doesn't just make movies, books, and resorts, it owns ABC, Pixar, Jim Henson Muppets, and has deals with fast food places, toys companies, cereals, and snacks to sell images of Disney characters. I prefer another tactic to change Chinese regulation practices, one that will work. Post later. Bye!
