Shit happens everywhere
Here's what the Chinese Leadership are doing to their own people!
Do folks living in China feel the same pride when they can buy nearly everything that says “made in China”, as we do in the US when we try to buy “made in the USA” stuff ?
Chinese typically very proudly buy imported stuff

They are extremely proud...to sell them... They will go the extra mile to buy foreign made items to get better quality/trustable product.Do folks living in China feel the same pride when they can buy nearly everything that says “made in China”, as we do in the US when we try to buy “made in the USA” stuff ?
Disclaimer: I am tibetan Buddhist, married to a Taiwanese citizen and worked in Taiwan and loved the people... So I do have a bias against mainland China...
Been Buddhist does not mean you have to accept bad things because of karma. On the contrary, there are some important teachings saying the exact contrary ;-)"bias against..." doesn't sound Buddhist
If the end result is the same, does it really matter if it was "Made in the USA"? I doubt fractal products would greatly improve if they weren't made in China. I am a young working middle class dude who most certainly couldn't afford to pay the price for all "Made in the USA" products.
Well, gee, I thought I came pretty close, here and here. But you're right, one has to be careful. (My version of "careful" is to write things so ponderously analytical that half the folks skip 'em...but at least I don't wind up looking like an unhinged firebrand. )I think the underlying issue can't truly be discussed on this forum and that is why (I believe anyway) that the made in USA comments are being posted.
Yep, but within limits and always making a distinction between "long-term, goals-compatible" friends and short-term "allies-of-convenience" whose goals and ideology really aren't compatible. Within the context of genuine friendly relations, one tries (as much as possible) to say, "Your good is my good" ...but one can't do that, with the other kind. (See here.)For one to want support their national economy is a good thing as it can promote prosperity.
Well, yes.To stare the obvious in the face all one really needs to do is use reason and common sense!

"Innocent" question: why we do not hear many concerns about "incompatible goals and ideology" regarding the deeply rooted business partnership of the USA with KSA but we do with China? I mean: the title of this topic is "China", and we can also read that title every single day at the frontpage of BBC/CNN/etc. Why focus the attention on "incompatibilities" with China and not with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or other partners?
Another way to approach this: Why the topic title is "China" and not "Mexico", "Vietnam" or, "India"? Why that fixation? Are we just talking about offshoring or is it about specifically targeting China? Is that the result of the daily propaganda of the western mainstream media against China?
Good questions. The CEOs who made the decision in the 80s and 90s to move their manufacturing overseas weren't Chinese, they were American."Innocent" question: why we do not hear many concerns about "incompatible goals and ideology" regarding the deeply rooted business partnership of the USA with KSA but we do with China?
