Imerialist running dogs of the West are tirelessly working to deny the Zhonghua empire its rightful glory.

Ping!

You mean...the market works? What an opportunity for teaching! And oh so timely with Her Heinous and company putting forth their socialized medicine schemes.

Wake up Republicans! The silver platter that just bumped against your door is only going to shine for so long. Take advantage of it now and you'll have use of what it's conveying for the rest of the campaign; ignore it and in a few months people will have no idea what you're talking about.

Some Toy Makers Shun the China Label....lib/dems won’t shun the hsu money!!!!!

[niteowl77]

The Chinese can produce a top-quality toy that is the equivalent of anything out there... the catch is that it usually ends up costing about the same as it would if it were made anywhere else. If one is looking for a lesser-quality (materials, if not craftsmanship) facsimile that costs less, then China is the place to go... at least right now. Even before the lead paint brouhaha, there were problems in the toy business over there... the incessant drive for cost-cutting isn't just an American goal. Rumblings about sources of even cheaper labor have been heard.

I watched the toy industry in the U.S. dry up and blow overseas, and while I don't like it, I do understand it. As long as U.S. companies can make enough profit acting as nothing more than importers, they will continue to let the Chinese be the ones to (not) worry about OSHA, NLRB, EPA, IRS, AFL-CIO, etc.

(Why have the headaches of running a factory when you can get by with nothing more than an office and a warehouse?)

Finally, we have shunned the Made in China label for years, and willingly paid more for Playmobil (some made in Malta!).

I hope more manufacturers change sources. Is Malaysia THAT expensive?

[HamiltonJay]

The biggest problem is a lot of crap made in china isn’t labeled as such.... that’s the rub.

I have ZERO intention of buying anything made in China for my kids... unfortunately finding out where something was made is often next to impossible looking at the box.

The PRC will address this problem and regain any lost markets with in 2 years.

My prediction.
