If it's plastic, it figures. If the button is magnesium, put it down
to the same CHINESE "craftsmanship" that creates $10 socket sets they sell at WALMART. |

You're a frikkin' prejudiced bigot. Here's a quote from a discussion about
products made in China: "This is the 4th manufacturing company I've worked for. Back in 2000, I worked for a company that we were working with Disney products at the time but we were producing for the Canadian market (mainly Walmart, Shoppers Drugmart, HBC). Now Disney has very high standards that applied even to us just using their licensing, so we took samples of products produced in the southern states, Montreal (in Quebec, Canada) and new plants in China. Even though the route of choosing China was not the greatest due to lead times for us to ship finished goods, the quality of the products produced in China were the best. Disney just didn't agree, they insisted. Now I work for a beer company, and the feedback from colleagues in the industry who have left Canada to go work in the expanding markets in asia have looked at some of the industrial parks over there for real-estate surveying and are amazed at the existing production facilities that exist for other manufacturing. Not just the state of the art production facilities, but the amount of foreign investment that has already occurred. I was actually heading towards working in China for our parent company, AMBEV/INBEV, but they've changed some of the contract commitments from 18 months to 3yrs. Too long for me."

Business to them is stealing somebody else's design, manufacturing a billion cheap knock-off copies, shipping them to one of their confederates like Walmart, undercutting American jobs under the veil of doing Americans a favor - like we need gooks to do us a damn favor." -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten' |

I wouldn't get too dewy eyed over the Chinese - there appears to be *nothing* that they will not counterfeit. Yesterday, BBC Radio 4 carried an (to me) absolutely amazing report of a recent Chinese scam in which eggs (yes, 'egg's' - as from hens!) were mass produced completely synthetically from the shell to the yolk!, before being shipped in their millions to markets in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, etc. These 'eggs' were a complete chemical concoction - they looked like eggs, they even cooked like eggs, but they tasted of 'nothing' and they produced severe stomach pains, memory-loss, and even dementia, in those unlucky enough to have purchased them. So, do the Chinese have *any* scruples? - not in my opinion. |

The original case was well documented in the Chinese press - and, subsequently, strenuous efforts have been made to deny it, either by an embarrassed Chinese government, or by people who simply can't (or don't want to) grasp the extent of the duplicity. Certainly, the story was mentioned yesterday by the BBC - so they, at least, must have been satisfied that it was genuine. Personally, I have not the slightest doubt that the Chinese would do it - and worse. |
