    needless to say, labour is cheap, materials is cheap (cos its not of that great quality)
    but its accepted, cos it does wat its supposed to (to a certain degree)

    we all just know, u want something better quality, pay for it =)

    Totally agree. There's tons of ppl in China that need jobs.. so they'll work even if the pay is low.

    cheap materials and cheap labour means its cheaper to make things in china

    they have places, i mean entire cities that only make one product, like toilet city, which only makes toilets

    But most of the products they made are of a hazard. Like example the contact lens solution has a problem with it and is being withdrawn from the market.

    speaking of hazardous product, didn't they have a few brands of pet food that is manufactured in China that gave people's pets kidney problems and death?

    Certain dirty bags will bound to want to make more money and will do whatever it takes, even if it's dangerous to other people health and well being. Like that issue with the milk, kids getting ill from it, those ppl are now in jail.

    I really do hope the Chinese gov't take more actions on these issues cause I hate hearing people saying products from China are dangerous and are crap.

    perfect summary right there lol, there's nothing else you can say about it. Although that also means that China's the first one to make knock-off products, for example, replicate electronic cigarettes...
