Yeah, that's right. The quality of the Chinese stuff exported worldwide must be the lowest possible...

The prices are the only positive thing about them, but most of the time, everything one buys breaks in mere seconds.

Here in Greece, there's a huge "underground" link of all Chinese stores, which seem to pop up everywhere. Sometimes, i meet those shorty Chinese dudes in the streets of Athens, carrying huge, black plastic bags full of clothes most of the time, from one store to the next. It's more than an alliance between them.

The worst thing is that the immigrants & the poor class citizens mostly buy clothes & other stuff from them. That way, not only is that a back-set for the law abiding store owners who cannot compete with those ridiculously low prices, but furthermore those products are harmful for the people's health, especially the fabrics of the clothes & the electrical appliances. Last year, a woman died because she bought a sewing iron that upon plugging it in, it gave her an electric shock & killed her.

Another thing that those good for nothing Greek smartarses do, is to buy Chinese stuff & say that they're European, etc... Like that, they buy a leather blouson for 10 Euro & sell it to customers as an "Italian blah blah blah" for more than 100 Euro! It's also hard to catch them.

It's a good thing that major companies decide to take their factories away from China, even though places like Taiwan & Indonesia aren't that different; they just don't have the "made in China" effect on buyers, yet.

If there was a way to stop the illegal Chinese trade, stop them from entering all that cr*p in our countries, things would be much better. I don't know about other countries, but here, the trade is suffering because of them.
