Do you object to products from high-end clothing brands that are Made in China?

If the price is right I will buy Made in China. I do try to avoid it as quality control there is supposedly no where near other countries. As far as what I will by, if the price is low enough the risk isn't much. I bought a suit at BR for $200 and it was Made in China. Turns out the suit is actually canvassed and a nice fit, so I scored on that one, but I prob would not have bought it had it been RRP (~$700).

As far as luxury brands, I'm sure they're like everyone else these days, trying to lower costs to maximize on profits.

Or, as is equally likely, Chinese immigrants working in Italian sweatshops, so in the end its still made by a Chinese person.

So, what terrorists does China support?

The Chinese are bring brought into Italy to work in Italian factories.

Dude you're just upset cause all the cheap junk sneakers you're selling on the forum are Made in China. Now how bout you let the intelligent and decent people who came to the forum express their opinions since clearly you have nothing of substance to share. Man you are pathetic.

You really need to keep up on current affairs. China is a rapidly developing country in more than one way. I also want to know about this supporting terrorist thing too.

I assume he was refering to the genocide in Dafur.and the weapon trade. (somehow, making a false and biased statement makes him "intelligent and decent")

I think more than a few people in China might consider their own government to be a terrorist organization. You get that attitude in every country from both extremes, but the Chinese seem to like imprisoning guys for protesting and dissenting. They don't behead them on the internet but the effect is the same.

Since you asked, I'm not referring to the people of course, but off the top of my head the Chinese government's continued support of President Omar al-Bashir in Khartoum, Chinese occupation of Tibet, Chinese govts support of Pakistan (including helping them build a nuclear reactor and helping arm religious fundamentalists there), Chinese govt continued support of dictators in North Korea, their ongoing suppression of Taiwan; do I need to list more?

A president isn't a terrorist, tibet has been part of China for a thousand years before, and like Americans needed Native American land, China needs the land and resources in Tibet for it's population. The Chinese govt supports Pakistan, just like the US, because they don't want nuclear armed terrorists taking control of a country that's just next door. The chinese government has supported North korea because they are brother and sister countries since the Korean war, and faught on the same side. They support the assholes in charge of North Korea (who still aren't terrorists, exactly) because if NK falls, they have a huge NK refugee problem, not to mention an armed US ally at their border. I don't know how suppressed Taiwan is, the people who live there don't seem to see much suppression- China wants Taiwan back under it's "one country, two systems" policy to further it's political aims, but there will be no war and no force used to achieve this goal.

A country which seeks stability over all, such as China, has terrorists and insurgents as their natural enemies.

Tibet is part of China and so is Taiwan. As far as N. Korea is concerned the Chinese government keeps them in check which is a good thing for everyone. As far as everything else is concerned I don't know anything about it.

Do Jundallah, PMOI, Iraq, Beriut car bombing, remind you of anything? United States have supported numerous "terrorists" activities similar to the ones you have listed. yet, ironically, Mr.Righteous here continues to live and pay taxes here. you are just a prejudice fool who gets brainwashed so easily by the media. you could've just said that you don't like Made in China products because you dont think the quality is good, but you had to bring all this "MORE IMPORTANTLY, I don't buy because China is evil" crap. get a clue
