Banning Chinese products....

[Anonymous]

I divide my family's shopping between Walmart, Costco and Sobey's..



We also buy goods from Canadian Tire and Home Depot..



All of them are dependent on Chinese imports as far as I know..



Overall, I am usually satisfied with quality and safety.

I don't like low quality Chinese goods, but I have spent money in some of those stores. This means I have consciously bought Chinese made junk.

Regarding electronics.....China actually makes little to no electronics..it is all Korean and Japanese....maybe assembled in China but the parts are manufactured in plants elsewhere...at least that's the way it was not long ago......

Haier, Aigo, Hisense, Huawei, Lenovo, ZTL and ZTE.

Getting our food from China is asking for trouble. We had better be testing the food products that we are importing thoroughly.

we have now resorted to garage saleing to obtain old made in the USA household appliances...after going through three can openers this year alone...we finally found an old one at a garage sale for $.50...works like a dream....the dragon bought a Phillips made in the USA blender on Sat. at a garage sale for $1.00....it is at least 50 years old, looks brand new, weights about 20 lbs. and would chip a fvcking douglas fir....she fired it up and it works just dandy...can't wait to finish our 1960's kitchen collection....... :ugeek:

Garage sales can be fun for the collector in all of us. Most are just junk that people are too lazy to haul to the dump themselves. If you are patient, you'll find one with those rare magical treasures like antique American made blenders. :)

The ratio is for every single shoebox full of anything worth keeping you must make ten loads to the dump.

I try to buy stuff from other countries since China has some bad products, and a rep for Lead in stuff.

It's hard not to buy Chinese anymore though since most companies have moved there.

Stuff that you really need to stay away from is Food products, containers for food, and cooking products.

I think most other stuff is safe to a point just cheaply made.

Now you can get some good stuff, but from companies under license from major brands that care about quality.

It's not the people also, it's mostly the greed of a fast dollar so they make stuff cheap as they can because there is a demand.



Taiwan has a lot of good stuff, there metal is a lot better than China's, Electronics also.



just my opinion, take it or leave it. :)

Hey hi :-)

Oh feel free Shen Li, I don't mind. I mean no disrespect to the people, you have to blame the ones who keep buying the stuff.

It's about like everything anymore to get to the point with designed obsolescence.
