10 Replies to “China Is Watching You”

  1. My biggest problem with buying China goods is that they change the product on you that your interested in to terrible quality or not even the material your purchasing.
    Companies there change at a tremendous pace too so, you can’t buy from the same supplier from a year earlier.
    So, it a hit or a miss should you want to reorder goods you just received.

    1. Yup. I’ve noticed that with parts I might use for my amateur radio station. Take coaxial cable connectors. It’s hard to keep track of who’s producing what when one orders them through Amazon, even though those connectors are identical in construction. (Yeah, yeah, I know–Amazon bad, right? Unfortunately, it’s often the only source for what I’m looking for, especially if they’re to replace an item that’s no longer manufactured and I have to make a substitution.)

      If I want to order more, I sometimes have to change suppliers as the one I ordered from earlier is no longer affiliated with Amazon, if it even exists.

      Mind you, it could be like what we used to have hear in North America. The same pieces are produced in the same facilities. If they are shipped from one loading dock, they’re “made” by ABC. If they go from a different one, then it’s XYZ. Same design, same construction, same material, same quality, and, often, the same price.

        1. There’s a VE3 who’s checked in once in a while. I think there’s one from Florida as well.

          I’ve got 2 VA6 callsigns, one for each vehicle.

    1. They have friends in Israeli institutions.

      Being born in a stable doesn’t make you the Messiah, and being born in Israel doesn’t make you a Zionist.

  2. The fact that China uses every Chinese person on the f***ing planet as an agent of China to some extent shocks me almost as much as I was shocked years ago when I discovered Al Sharpton was racist.

  3. You know, if western countries didn’t allow Chicoms to attend their universities this wouldn’t happen. Matter of fact, the idea was that we would be able to give a different outlook to the youth of China…however, 99.99% of them double as spies or “honey traps” while they’re here.
