Made in China

[jpdm]

I think the Philippines can do it.

Ngayon nga e, kahit sobrang palpak na gobyerno natin...may mga umuusad pa ring mga PInoy companies....at ekonomiya natin....

Well...dahil na rin sa OFWs natin.....our heroes.............

What more kung may direksyon ang pamahalaan natin at todo suporta ang ibigay sa mga Pinoy entrepreneurs.........................

Aba, we can relive our glory days in the 1950's at 60's.....yung time na mas lamang tayo sa ASEAN at East Asian neighbors natin...second lang tayo sa Japan...

Yesterday i went to grocery and saw this peanut bar. The packaging is full of chinese characters and also saying its a chinese deli. Then there is a big sticker on the front side "MADE IN THE PHILIPPINES!"

Masarap ah. Hindi ko na nga nakunan ng picture kasi naubos ko na. naitapon yung packaging...

[jpdm]

masarap ang local chocolates natin...

chocnut, hany, flat tops, curly tops, nips, sergs, yung chocolate na bola ng american football, cloud nine, big bang, yung maliit na chocolate na may wrapper na silver etc.


at least walang formalin yan.safe na masarap pa.

Am sure everyone noticed how almost everything has a made in China equivalent. Or in fact most everything now is actually "Made in China".

What comes to mind is the perception of low-quality? Or is that no longer so? Because some of the toys I bought as gifts broke as they were being wrapped. Now of course they were cheap. And we Know China has also the super counterfeits.

Do we remember the time when "Made in Japan" was synonymous to inferior quality yet look at them now. Will China get to that level of quality?

In your opinion, would it be worth paying the cheaper price for a Chinese made good? Or are their items you would not scrimp on? Like safety equipment for example.

I have a lot of "Made In China" computers/peripherals:

1. Mac Mini - designed by Apple, assembled in China
2. All my DIY pc motherboards (Taiwan)
3. Both my Linksys wired and Belkin Wireless G routers
4. General Electric mouse
5. 2 HP All In One Printers (different models)
6. The tiny Micro Innovations wireless mouse on this laptop
7. The Lasko upright electric fan
8. The MS keyboard/optical mouse used with the Mini are designed by MS and assembled in China
9. The cheap, almost 5-year old < $5 digital watch I'm wearing.

That's just a quick glance around me. I'd say they're good except for the printers. I have not seen any inkjet printer last very long.

I think it's also safe to say China's got us by the balls.

I'm not old enough to remember "Made In Japan" as inferior. But then, I don't automatically assume anything made in Japan is of superior quality. During two visits there, I noticed Japan has its own share of lemons. Of course, they never find their way outside of Japan.

China has the capacity to make top-notch goods. Just look at their brethen in Taiwan. It's in the design of the goods where they may lack. But, that will improve with time.

safety equipment no. meron kami dito sa rig, 4 made in china lifeboats, designed in norway. may warranty claim kami sa 2. yung release pin na suppose to be stainless steel e nabali, and it is not stainless steel but plated lang. then yung fiberglass merong crack sa loob. and all the stainless steel parts were rusting.

pero pag yung mga gamit na throw away, or you expect it to last a short time only because it;s cheap, then sulit na din. lalo na if the need for it is for a short time din lang naman.

chinese r&d is mostly buy and copy.

Eh yung Telecom equipment nila na Huawei? Ang dami nang kumukuha nito. Pinapalitan na yung mga big time players sa Telecom like Ericsson, Nortel, Siemens, etc. Kasi mura raw.

Dito sa Saudi, ang daming Intsik ngayon, andito sila para mag-install ng Huawei equipments.

Tinipid po ng mga gumagawa na intsik ang mga gamit sa life boats? Eh kung ganun po yun din ang tingin nila sa halaga ng buhay ng mga kumuha ng lifeboats kaya? mumurahin lang?

WORTH IT!! pero depende sa item. like pag common tools lang for house repair screwdriver, pliers pwede na yun china and pipe wrench bakit bibili ka pa ng RIDGID U.S. brand kung ok naman yun RYDER brand china made matibay din ,price difference is 10X , mga ibang product kasi overprice example is STANLEY steel tape, pinagawa sa china tapos ang mahal pa rin ang price samantalang madami na dyan mas mura 50-60% cheaper pareho din and gamit pang measure lang, quality/presicion ok din naman. minsan trial and error din example sa drill bit assuming yun una mong binili is made in china ,kaya niya 20 holes lang then na try mo german made, nakaya niya 40 holes, pero price difference nila is 4x , so tendency mas lamang ka pa rin buy ka ng 2 pcs china made kaysa made in germany, pero sa mga product na may electrical or moving parts involve medyo duda ako pag gawang china lalo yun mga never heard na brand like sa mga power tools or water pumps minsan 1-2 lang sunog na amatuer, parami na ng parami china product ngayon sa atin, kulang na lang nga mga coffin made in china para mas mura

[mikaztro]

Sa panahon ngayon, wala na tayo choice. Almost everything is made in China na. Wether we like it or not.

[van_wilder]

yup. kahit us or german brand pa. receive and duplicate style nila just like japan and korea before...

why invent the wheel again if you can just re-invent/re-package it?

[cutedoc]

we must not look down on ALL made in china products, some of them are really of good quality and had passed through a rigid inspection, if you want a cheap by product you can bought them in china however if you want a quality end product you can still get them in china.

if you notice, most international brand are made in china yet they insist that materials are from canada or US or wherever, the point is these big companies are also aware that the notion that china products are low quality products.

some apple products are made in china, yet i still buy them, because the quality are good and it coves a warranty.

some good quality clothings are made in the philippines, but they arent inferior as i myslef have gone inside their factory and you'll really see the quality control of each stiches are graded and should pass at least 98%

[VtEC]

sa tindi ng baba ng labor nila di malayong lahat nalang made in china na.

[buriroy]

Siguro kung mga tools and clothing lang, pwede na.

But when it comes to electricals, some Chinese products
are downright unsafe.

I bought an extension cord (yung kulay green) last month
sa Uniwide Metromall, sa mga stalls na puro Made In China.
On the 3rd day of use pa lang, ayon umusok na and napatid
yung cord because of the excessive heat. Buti na lang I was
in the room at that time and nabunot ko agad yung plug.

Si wifey din bumili ng glue gun sa Divine (her term for Divisoria).
Ayun sa first use lang umusok din and napatid yung wire! Again
I was right beside her at the time so I was able to pull the plug
right away.

If you value your home and property, stay off the Made In China
electrical gizmos for the meantime.

Bumili din ako ng extension cord na made in china, umusok din agad mabuti na lang at napansin ko din. Quality kasi ng paggawa ay walang kwenta, when i openned yun extension, yun manipis na wire lang ginamit crossing each other pa to connect yun mga copper plates sa loob ng extension.kaya bilis mag init at matunaw yun insulator ng manipis na wire making the extension shorted.

Kaya inayos ko na lang yun extension by replacing yun mga wires sa loob with better wires. Ok pa din naman gang ngayon yun extension.

[Jun aka Pekto]

One thing not often clear about the Made In China moniker is whether the product was made in Taiwan or mainland China. It doesn't help that both claim they are China.

Welcome to the endangered list of not buying product that made in China. But, I bought food that made by Chinese. Hey I'd like chinese food!
