BEIJING, Feb. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- Almost 75 percent of the world's toys are made in China, figures from the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Light Industrial Products and Arts-Crafts (CCCLA) showed.

Chinese-made toys are being exported to Europe, the United States, Japan and other regions and countries. More than 60 percent of Chinese toy exports go to the United States, according to the CCCLA.

South China's Guangdong Province exports the most toys, making up over 60 percent of the country's total toy export, the CCCLA said.

FENGHUA, CHINA—Chen Hsien, an employee of Fenghua Ningbo Plastic Works Ltd., a plastics factory that manufactures lightweight household items for Western markets, expressed his disbelief Monday over the "sheer amount of shit Americans will buy."

"Often, when we're assigned a new order for, say, 'salad shooters,' I will say to myself, 'There's no way that anyone will ever buy these,'" Chen said during his lunch break in an open-air courtyard. "One month later, we will receive an order for the same product, but three times the quantity. How can anyone have a need for such useless shit?"
