If you go looking around object in your home…is it Asia or North America? If you go to a stationary store or huge mall, where are the objects made? Asia or North America? We have all heard of the lead poisoning in Chinese made toys these days and people have started being paranoid about Chinese made toys. But please let me add something. Though the toy or object may be made in China or Asia, there could have been materials coming in from different places and then finally made in its last destination.
The thing is, people are so paranoid these days on products made from China that people even thought of boycotting them! Insane! Without products made in these countries, we would have no Wal-Mart, dollar stores and other stores made for the working class. Business men love to get a deal and when Asian countries want money to, scam is all they give. Mass produce for low wages but it's good for the business men.
So my last words are, don't be afraid of Chinese made products because it won't have a higher chance of killing you than in a car crash. Buy Chinese made stuff and buy Canadian/American made stuff. It's ok.
