the black China hand

China’s the main source of ordinary consumer goods—everything from consumer electronics to toys to household gadgets or appliances of every kind, tools, shoes, and increasingly, furniture and clothing. A lot of people think that China makes only shoddy and cheap things, but I found that not to be true. There are a lot of increasingly high-end products coming from there. I saw everything from Barbie-shaped chocolates to wedding dresses from China. It was an eye-popping view of just how much we rely on China for the daily products we use.

I posted a day ago why I think that Chinese new “blame the other strategy” is not the best choice and that the world is so fixated on the extent of bad “made in China” repercussions because of China’s increasing integration in the World economy. This interesting short interview adds to my premise…at least in terms of showing the increasing influence of China, albeit through its supply of essential parts in everyone’s means of production, is at an “eye-popping” high.
