No, I have no ethics
To be honest, I don't look at the label. I buy what I like, and I like to buy quality. I guess that is enough to not buy Chinese crap
Its kind of hard to boycott Chinese stuff when almost everything you can buy is from China. Almost everything within my reach is from China like my mouse, keyboard, Ipod, etc.
I try to not buy products made in China. I've known for a while that it may as well say "Piece of Crap".
It is hard to avoid this offshore stuff.
Used to haul auto-parts. All GM rad caps are made in India. Lot of Chinese components as well.
Much comes from Mexico---made from Chinese components.
All of the in-cab air-valves on heavy trucks now come from China. They crack and split as fast as the mexican ones. I am told that Chinese alternators are somewhat more reliable than Mexican.
Africans are somewhat discriminating about tires. The Africans simply will not take a Chinese tire if you give it to them. Maybe that's why the Jajaweed ride camels.
