Might have something to do with the quotes you accepted
I know plenty of good tradies who do things properly
It’s why their still in business
This applies to just about everything.You have to check the work of even the best tradies
Well thats kinda my point relating to China, its exactly the same thing.
You have to check the work of even the best tradies, do make sure the work is done they way you wanted it, they can forget things, miscommunication happens, they might use slightly different materials in different rooms etc etc.
but try taking Chinese companies to court either here or in China and you will have a difficult time.
That's true, but the tradies are here and are subject to our consumer laws and can have their licenses suspended in they screw up, but try taking Chinese companies to court either here or in China and you will have a difficult time.
China works very hard on patents and trademarks registered in ChinaHave you heard about the long-established Japanese brand, Muji, losing a court case in China to a copy-cat brand?

China definitely needs to work on its protection of international trademarks
Our greed is to blame. Someone in China paid someone in Australia to learn the trade and buy the starter stock.The cheating of the Chinese knows no bounds.
After effectively banning Australian Lobsters, they are now marketing their own Lobsters, aka Yabbies, but using the name Aussie.

I would assume part of it would be less domestic imports. Not surprising.and in another twist, I saw this on twitter.

The big question is why there is such a diversion.
For some its because the CCP just fake anything and everything.
Others suggest the difference largely comes down the fact that the balance of payments measures changes in ownership between domestic and foreign entities, whereas merchandise trade tracks shipments across international borders.

I remember reading a post here awhile ago. China thinks years in advance and we days, weeks or at best months.Our greed is to blame. Someone in China paid someone in Australia to learn the trade and buy the starter stock.
Same thing is happening with wine, Treasury Wines has set up a Penfolds vineyard and are making a Chinese version of Penfolds reds & whites, and who do you think are learning the trade over there?
I would enjoy this better if the US was not a bankrupt failed state under the control of non elected swamp.To coin a phrase, music to my ears
I don't know how good the sources of his statistics, graphs and other claims are (he says they're in the links) but I don't care. Listening to this was highly enjoyable and beats dumped files from the CCP proganda unit any day.
They are actually an Australian Crayfish species, I had a burger today with Australian made “American mustard” and “French fries” made in Australia, and English breakfast tea that was grown in India, from a plant that was originally from China.The cheating of the Chinese knows no bounds.

To me six of one and half a dozen of the other. i do have a thing about using the name Australian as I would assume that means the product has been sourced from here via import.They are actually an Australian Crayfish species, I had a burger today with Australian made “American mustard” and “French fries” made in Australia, and English breakfast tea that was grown in India, from a plant that was originally from China.
I wonder if the Chinese language has words that differentiate between crayfish and lobster? Maybe not, so if they are breeding these Australian crayfish, is it so bad to sell them as the species they are? Eg Australian Crayfish.
