Maybe they aren't producing destroyers, or preparing for military conflict, but there sure are plenty of dreadnoughts coming from China.

It's funny that when people care about where do they buy from, some other people make it sound like it's racist.

I don't agree with the minimum pay, the long shift, and lack of any social cover there is some countries. I actually am not happy either with how we have it here in Western Europe, though it's much much better than in some parts of the world.
So I try to not buy, as much as possible, from companies I wouldn't work for!

Hi Brian…

No…

Nor cars, nor computers, nor phones, nor food, nor books, nor movies, nor TVs, nor anything else.

Well today, if you want a new laptop, phone or tv, you don't have a choice You have to buy from China, Malaysia...

If a large majority of people think like you, so will follow eventually almost everything else. And when there is no jobs left in Europe and the US because everything is made in Asia, you will happily go working yourself in India for 50 dollars a month.

The choices we make as consumers is almost the only power we got left.
All companies who treat people like "animals who eat too much", and move their facilities where there is less/no legislation to make more profit thank you for your contribution.
