I think it is not fair to blame all Chinese products when there are one or two headlines. I think "made in China" really does mean high quality at low price. The products often have more functions and better design style. "Made in Britain" might be more reliable but the designs are usually very boring and stuffy!!

Everything has a cost. Ultra cheap goods often cost the environment more, often carries a higher costs in health and safety to the workers, and higher indirect costs to the consumer such as impact on their health & safety. "Profit comes first" is the other side of the same coin of "Progress comes first", which is systemic in China. Costs on human lives, on the environment and blantantly ignoring any potential ill effect on everybody else is a big problem in China. Once China has included all the costs to H&S, environment, welfare, etc, I doubt if China will remain cheap enough to be the world's factory.

Sadly there are very little choice from buying products other than those "made in China" I do love my country and want to support it, but often the products let me down!!

Give credit when it is due. I used to be one of the polluter until the Mayor start charging. Since then I have switch to public transport or consider local option rather than going straight to central London. The new plan might mean a few more cars in London, but as these people switch to smaller cars, the overall emmission will be lower. I never understand why people need to drive those big trucks in London. They are for farms and adventure. Most of the time they are empty except for the lone driver.

Congestion Charge is an unfair tax. What exactly do we get for our money? The road is not any better? It is hard for business to get a smaller car. Have you try to fix your weekly stock in one of those small Panda? It does not work. We need a big car for a reason, not to show off as someone suggested!!!!

You get what you paid for. If things are too cheap they have to cut some corners. I am very patriotic, but when I am buying something that is health related, I will look for alternative from "Made in China"

I always try to support my own country by buying China and Britain. But I sometimes worry the quality. The new toy scare is very worrying. Before, when I hear on the news about the false products in China, I always think it is just the media, but the toy recall is international. I am in Hong Kong right now, everything Made in China is cheaper and look just as good. It is very tempting to buy them. But now I will think very carefully

We need to organise more events for the kids so they can learn about their culture. When I grew up I was often embarassed about being Chinese. At the time, the only thing Chinese on TV is the Monkey and they talk really bad English. We need positive role models and lot of fun stuff for the kids to enjoy being Chinese

可惜啱啱至買咗新車，否則會考慮買架細車。因為我要出倫敦工作，一年要俾好多錢。
