Do you think products made in China can be dangerous?
Watermelons in China exploding in mass made headlines recently (http://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2011/05/17/chinas-latest-food-scandal-explodin-watermelons/ ). It makes a funny headline, although our media missed key points. First, they caught that it was a “fertilizer”, but it was actually a highly concentrated steroid which is quite dangerous for people. Second, what are the farmers doing with the pieces of toxic watermelons after they explode? Feeding it to farm animals and fish, though it will damage their digestive systems AND much of it will still be there when people eat products from those animals and fish, such as eggs, milk, and meat!

I don't know I think their drywall has done great things for our builders and the people who had to gut their homes.
I think a Chinese camera cut off Randy's head, it's called the Ninja Camera, buyers beware.
Yes I know Ninja's come from Japan, o.k. the kung fu camera, is that better?

Actually it was a Canon, not sure where there made, sharp though.
I refuse to buy food stuff from China. Phillipines or other Asian countries as I believe their hygiene practises leave a bit to be desired. If not available as Australian my next in line is New Zealand. (you know that little place over the other side of the ditch) Then I go for UK Canada USA. What really gets up my nose is SAFCOL South Australian Fisheries Corporation packaging "Product of Thailand" under the SAFCOL brand. Another one is Koala rice product of China, for goodness sake why does our government allow one of our unique animals name be registered in another country. I spend 15 minutes shopping and 35minutes looking at place of origin.

I never buy anything from China. A lot of Australians feel that way. They ask or check the sale ticket first to make sure it's Australian. In fact, I never buy food that has come from any other country.

...from ANY other country ? You've never experienced Canadian mussels from Prince Edward Island and Maple Syrup from Quebec ? You haven't LIVED until you've tried either or better still, BOTH !
I think it's a good thing to support products made in you own country for the most part, keeps your fellow Aussies working. Thumbs up, digger has a point too, some things may be worth breaking the rules for.
I've been to Canada and had maple syrup. Our relatives live there. We have relatives in the US, Britain and Canada.
eggplant, I think thats a good plan if you want your country to succeed, buy what you make.
I live in the USA and some things are not available made here anymore.
I had to look hard to find a flag made here
Know wonder no one can find a job, we have been to cheap to buy american made and I think it's to late now.

Many companies are sadly closing down and moving their business to China. I make a point not buy those goods.
It's weird not being able to follow the red number system today, don't know what's up with that? Randy, I have had to buy brass parts made for high pressure hoses made in China. They only last about a quarter of the time as the old ones that were made in the U.S.A., maybe not even that long.
Personally I would rather support American Jobs and have the higher quality product that may cost more but last much longer. Your correct that it's rare if not almost impossible to find American made products, what a shame it has come to this in our country...

I think that bad news is created by the media. China also use iso-level prduction. This is precondition for export. Had a little problem and the media made it big.
