    It was the old image of Chinese products (edit: also services), but recently their quality has increased significantly. On top of that, the price is much lower than alternatives.

        When people saw the price, they stopped caring about that. This has been the case of Hong Kong.

            Sweatshop is probably true, but I’m telling you, you just cannot resist the price as a consumer. Tooth filling for 29 HKD (3.7 USD), you just can’t beat that.

            Hongkonger are extremely realistic and practical. Price low? Use it

          Yes. I hate consumerism and our corporate overlords. I hate any World Super Power™, real or imaginary.

          It’s a team sport, but we’re all the disposable pawns.

            Chinese are humans too. They have a life, have things to pay for, and most of them are not even associated with the government.

              Then don’t buy things that are owned by the ccp. I’m not against them. I’m against their government, and unfortunately, we can’t do anything about the ccp except not buy as much as possible from China.

              Yes, the Chinese are people too, and they are being oppressed by their government.

              What’s your point?
