While you may find it amazing to find a brand new NOKIA 5320 to be sold below PhP 10,000.00, check out Chinese made touch screen cellular phones pegged at more or less PhP 5,000.00 only. Almost always, the price of an item says so much of its quality. Does this mean that China made products which are way cheaper than most commercial brands have low quality? Could be. It's always an issue of Quality and Affordability.
China obviously wins over the issue of affordability. While people would want to give premium on quality, their purchasing power does not allow them. Inevitably, they settle for the cheaper products. China wins this economic tug-of-war hands down on countries with low income populace. A good share of the world market.
What better way is there to beat this overwhelming market for the cheap Chinese products than to pull down its quality to an unbearable level with propaganda. Melamine, lead content, etc. can instill fear and make people forget of the affordability of these products. Consequently, interested parties will win back the huge chunk of the world market, pulling back the rope of economy to their side. Do you smell something fishy?

You couldn't believe how China has manipulated the market for the sake of money. I know that because I've been there back and forth in dealing with Chinese factories. Did you know that they even selling fake eggs, that's how far they can do, amazing isn't it?
Even in US, there are lot of Chinese people who are trying to grab your business in selling items in a cheap price but quality garbage. That's how they do business, they don't care the long term, but mostly ended up to fail business bec quality still make an impact in buying certain product.
I don't go for cheap item, Id rather pay a little but more for quality.
Thanks Umma. It's amazing to know that cheap eggs are being sold. The entry was an attempt to view the issue at a different angle. It aims to entice more scrutiny with "Something fishy..."
