Chinese products selling poorly in Vietnam

[[archie]]

Medyo mahirap talaga to boycott all things made in China. Even nike has a factory in China.

Hindi Lahat masama, yung mga factory ng international brands na nasa China, strict quality control. Masama yung China products without or minimal quality control.

[yebo]

Every peso you spend on made in china products is a peso they spend to make a bullet, grenade, bomb, tank, ship and plane they use to bully the philippines. Parang prostiute na siya pa ang nagbabayad para kangkangin.

[slapz]

baka pwede iboycott yung mga china brands, not necessarily made in china. Tulad ng haima, china brand. iboycott, wait...

Madami kung gugustuhin ng mga importers. Sa clothing meron vietnam, myanmar, bangladesh, cambodia. Electronics products japan, korea, malaysia, thailand. Car accesories andyan ang thailand, taiwan and korea. So di naman lahat e made in china, kasi kung totoo na made in china lahat e di sana wala na tayo imports sa ibang countries.

Sa kotse, e di huwag bumili ng china brands!

Madali lang boycott ang China brands. Ang masakit is the rampant mining of the Chinese into our resources. The balimbing at makapiling goverment officials are even their protectors.

[frostmourn]

Boycot china brands! Lets help our country! Lets start within our family!

[ClaNker]

I just avoid Chinese brands.

I've long wanted to boycott Chinese brands. The tainted dog food really did it for me! It's just hard to do since a product may not indicate made in China but one of its raw materials could come from China. If given a choice between a Chinese and Non-Chinese brand, I always choose the non-Chinese brand. I do love the made in china stationery and stickers. Not much hazard in buying those,

BTW, I just read online not to buy those dinnerware in Divisoria. It's not safe daw, I forgot what material makes it unsafe. I have always wondered why it came so cheap. Now I am glad we are still using our dinnerware from when my parents got married. LOL.

Yesterday I did some DIY repairs at home. May mga products naman na Made in Malaysia na good quality. Yun na din binili ko. Kung may alternative maybe in some small way puwede nga talaga gawin ito. Para sa Cr nga pala mga gamit na yun.

Read the BAR CODE! Products made in China have bar codes starting with 690, 691, 692, 693, 694 and 695.

Those made in Taiwan start with 471.

Considering you've made the same comment on articles that aren't about Chinese cars, it's pretty much considered spamming.

Actually it was a wrong post, too late before I realized it

Ah. Forgiven then.

But to answer here, also:

It's difficult to figure out how and where to boycott to have an effect. Many of our local industries are dependent on Chinese supplies, and many local "manufacturers" have taken their operations partially or wholly off-shore.

While we can focus on those brands owned by Chinese mainlanders... then the question becomes: Who suffers more? The primary company, of which our local distributor is a tiny hundred or two hundred unit a year outlet? Or the local distributor, who has to pay for those units whether or not they get sold?

I think it's unfair to the local distributor if they began the partnership even before the Spratly Island issue became a hot topic... they've already invested hundreds of millions in this thing, and that's not money you're ever going to see again if you boycott for political reasons.

Same as with gas station owners when people were calling for the boycott of the "big three" back in 2008 (and even then, it wasn't the "big three" at fault, it was hedge fund managers and market speculators).

Can't fault people for wanting to be patriotic (and, indeed, I never hesitate to remind people of which cars are built in the Philippines in our articles!), but the issue, it is complicated.

I apologize for making that comment in your article. It was not my intent to call for a boycott, but reading back, it may have come across as such. I take notice to the fact that the Chinese gov't always says one thing & does something else to the contrary. That is why it gets to me when they say they want to further their economic relations with our country (I just hope they reciprocate,in allowing our products to freely sell in their country). The Chinese gov't is currently the largest economy in the world & was recently announced that they increased their military budget (hence, building their military). Lest we forget, China is a communist country, & as communist countries go, the citizens work together to the whims of the government, whether they like it or not. Don't you find it scary that they have claimed 90% of the South China sea, & is continually claiming more of it. They are practically on our doorstep & most Filipinos act like nothing is happening. My intent was just to make people aware of the issues. I do not hate the Chinese,nor do I hate the Fil-Chinese & the Taipans. But when your country's future is at stake, it is but natural for us to react. I hope you understand.

Sorry also for calling it spam. I can see what happened now... it's happened to me to... a bug in TGP.

Sorry for assuming, also... a lot of FB comments on the Top Gear account are suggesting just that.

As for the Chinese Communist government... yes, it's alarming, but it's a result of the changes that the Chinese mainland has been going through these past decades. They were more alarming in the 90's, when they had the lion's share of manufacturing, but now, South East Asia is a threat to the monopoly, as Chinese factories moving out can attest to... prosperity and success are changing China, and the party has to adapt. That's why the Party is making so much noise against Japan, Taiwan and Southeast Asia... they want to stay on top of their people, but eventually, time and change will undermine the Party's authority.

China may claim and posture, but this is a country that could simply waltz right in with their warships. Instead, they're puffing up and making a lot of noise, but in the end, they'll have to sit down to the table and talk. (look at Chinese-Japanese business partnerships... or NoKor-SoKor partnerships... after the storms, business as usual) Because they need the global market, and getting blacklisted again, as they were after Tianamen, is not conducive to that.

Still... mighty happy PNoy ain't backing down. That kind of macho BS crap from another country in our backyard can't be allowed.

[speed_kills]

The China situation is a complicated one as it is ruled by a one-party government. And worse, the hardliners are leading their country nowadays. Sometimes we forget that normal citizens over there are just like you and me...people who aspire for a better life for themselves and their families. Not everybody over there is out to conquer the world so I find it unfair to make generalizations.

Some people tend to blame anything "Chinese" like negative references to the "rich" Fil-Chi businessmen. But the question is, who is truly a Filipino? The Fil-Chis who attained success without special privileges yet and employ thousands of their fellowmen? Or European descendants who initially inherited their wealth thanks to colonialism but has evolved and also provide jobs? Shouldn't anyone who cares for this country and helps it become better deserve to called a Filipino?

Also, maybe some people don't know but the main people defending this country actually have Chinese blood themselves. Like President Aquino and his spokesperson Edwin Lacierda, who is a product of Fil-Chi high school and probably speaks Chinese.
