Made in Hong Kong (China?)

[GrizLeeBear]

I am seeing more and more items listed as "Made In Hong Kong". It occured to me that China has owned Hong Kong for a while now. I wonder if they are making things in China and then doing some final assembly and packaging in Hong Kong so they can apply that label as opposed to the "Made In China" label we all hate. Just wondering.

Grizzly, I don't think China cares what labelled gets affixed to there products as they don't play fair and they know we can't build products here because of all the regulations. And so they know we will buy there products no matter what.

diesel, I don't buy stuff from the store that says M.I.C. I like yard sales,buy used stuff made in U.S.A. and FIX it,I'm from the old school!!! Not much I can't fix. PS I read somewhere that China mixes there industrial wastes into there products they sell to us.

I'm with you on that however most people aren't. I like to buy quality so I only buy it once.

I agree with you that China cheats on most everything. However, I know many, including me, who will not buy M.I.C. items. I am not as sensitive about M.I.H.K. or Taiwan. We all know Walmart is big on M.I.C. items. I shop there when I have to, but avoid M.I.C. I am only saying it is possible if enough people boycott M.I.C. they would feel the hit in sales and maybe they thought this could have some effect on their exports to the U.S. I know that ten years ago I seldom if ever saw H.K. and now I see it a lot.

I worked for a federal agency. We would get about 30 new Dell computers every year, all made in China. Go figure

Technically, HK is no longer a country, but a part of China so I would surmise that things marked made in HK were made before the shift. Frank

When the Brits turned her back over to China, the Chinese decided not to bring it back in as a communistic type of government hidden in secrecy like old China, they kept her a capitalistic form of economy for the sake of money. Good choice!

Folks,

Don't know the name of the vessel.....but understand that Walmart has a vessel either owned or leased....dedicated strictly
to the products they import from China....something like 15,000 teu's per trip(twenty foot equivalent containers in layman's terms)....

The containers either return empty or with scrap material, paper, rubber tires, etc....for processing for the next load of exports...unless you've got pretty deep pockets pretty hard to find many consumer goods not made there these days.....even some companies do work arounds....say bicycles.....all the components are produced in China and just assembled in Canada, US or where ever so the can slap on a local sticker.
