I haven't been blogging the past couple of weeks mainly because life's has been mundane... I'm not going to elaborate on it... Rather, I'm going to talk abt some current affairs (news tt's published in today's papers)...
The no. 1 on my list is tt of [Mattel] recalling some of it's toys worldwide because the paint on those toys are said to contain excess amt of lead... Everyone knows the effect of lead on the human body... And it's quite a big deal as children worldwide might be harmed from being exposed to those toys... Brain dmg and all... What's even more shocking is tt those toys are made in [China]...
I used to disapprove my parent's view tt good from [China]'s lousy as it's a fact tt [China]'s becoming more recognised globally... Thus, it's only natural tt there'll be more exports from [China]... Tt's no running from those made in [China] products... Therefore, I believed tt the quality of goods is the same regardless of where it's made from...
Then I came across this article on [China] using some lousy paint tt's containing more lead than it should have... Gee... Is this their way of ensuring tt the cost of production remains competitive??? By using cheap and lousy materials??? If this is really the case, then I forsee [China] not being able to survive by banking on it's export for economic growth... The backlash will destroy whatever little reputation [China] have and looking @ it's track record locally, I doubt it'll be easy to rebuild tt kinda trust back into their products...
Tt isn't the only article concerning [China] tt I wanna discuss abt... The other article which I've read concerning [China] is tt of them producing all kinda fake [Harry Potter] books... They seemed unconcerned abt all those copyright laws imposed onto the world by the [US], blantantly using the [Harry Potter] concept to concot all kinda weird stories like [Harry Potter And The Porcelin Dolls], [Harry Potter And The Showdown], etc... Gee... Personally, this makes me look down on [China] as it's so full of fake stuff... If a lawsuite comes your way, you deserve it...
Don't get me wrong... If you use the whole [Harry Potter] concept but it's not related to the original story in terms of characters' name and all, then I wouldn't have minded... But if you simply use everything and proclaim tt it's the continuation of the original [Harry Potter] saga, then it's really just crap...
Hmmm... I understand tt [China]'s trying to making a name and be recognised globally... And they've succeeded... NMCs are targeting [China] as it's an unexplored gold mine... It's so filled with investment opportunities due to it's low cost of production, low exchange rate and whatever econs knowledge you can dump in this context... Yet they wanna destroy this reputation by exporting all types of dangerous goods ranging from posionous toothpaste to toxic paint on toys... Gee... What are you thinking?!
Ha... Guess I'll end here... If you really think abt it, this entry serves no purpose... No memories woth keeping's here... Or mayve not... I've successfully made an attempt @ being intellectual...
Oh... Try out [Gakuen Heaven]... I haven't watch tt anime though, but I heard tt it's almost similar to [Ouran]... Only more gay (I don't mean the happy meaning)... ^_^
