7. Made in China
is an agreement between US companies and contractors in China. The US companies are looking to slash their production costs knowing full well that the savings have their price - safety and quality. That is what the US companies want! China is delivering on those requirements by slahsing their costs wherever possible. Their lax environmental, employment and safety oversight laws enable the low prices.

It is not bashing the Chinese people or the Chinese government to realize the US consumer is also paying a price for the cheap goods. This is not an ethnic issue - it is a safety issue the US needs to wake up to!
