You make a very valid point and I think in my head, it is a given. I'm wary of my dependence on items that are mass produced and thus poorly put together. Many American companies depend on the factories in China and I would rather purchase something made from good intentions than in an environment in less than good conditions. <BR/><BR/>If companies treated their employees more compassionately and fairly than I would feel better purchasing items from them. I still do purchase items made from all over the globe, for me it is a matter of fair treatment and quality. I hope I portrayed that here. Thank you again!j. wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05123562404940030878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220008146403489286.post-87029783005645787842008-11-21T16:40:00.000-08:002008-11-21T16:40:00.000-08:00Hmm.

The comments on angry chicken's post is closed (I know, I'm getting to this something like a year late), so I'll post here.<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't a better solution than boycotting "made in China" products be to intentionally buy and thus support products that are made in China, but made well? China is full of skilled handcrafters, too! <BR/><BR/>Fair trade, etsy sellers from China, and other online websites do sell items made in China by companies or individual artisans committed to their workers and to the environment.<BR/><BR/>I live in south China in a community where almost every woman does beautiful hand embroidery, sews clothing, and most impressively, makes hemp by hand (from plant to fabric!) I hope that the western world's fear of the label "made in China" won't prevent these women from being able to sell their labor-intensive goods to a wider market in the future!Lori Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764337499746983019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220008146403489286.post-63037960091219391502008-03-27T11:12:00.000-07:002008-03-27T11:12:00.000-07:00Thanks for your article.
