It was the old image of Chinese products (edit: also services), but recently their quality has increased significantly. On top of that, the price is much lower than alternatives.
Sweatshop is probably true, but I’m telling you, you just cannot resist the price as a consumer. Tooth filling for 29 HKD (3.7 USD), you just can’t beat that.
Hongkonger are extremely realistic and practical. Price low? Use it
do you have concerns about buying American stuff? I mean the usa just got outed running an antivax campaign to kill Asian people while hoarding vaccines.
Then don’t buy things that are owned by the ccp. I’m not against them. I’m against their government, and unfortunately, we can’t do anything about the ccp except not buy as much as possible from China.

It’s mostly the surveillance state
When people saw the price, they stopped caring about that. This has been the case of Hong Kong.
price makes no fucking difference whether or not it comes from a sweatshop. especially fucking clothes

I thought it was about the dogs painted to look like tigers in the zoo, for example.
Yes but i would rather not support the ccp.

States aren’t your friend yo
Yes. I hate consumerism and our corporate overlords. I hate any World Super Power™, real or imaginary.
It’s a team sport, but we’re all the disposable pawns.
You do you, my friend.
So you support the ccp and their oppression of the Chinese population?
Chinese are humans too. They have a life, have things to pay for, and most of them are not even associated with the government.

Tell that to all the major Industries that are buying and producing stuff in china than just a regular bloke
Just because they are shitty doesn’t mean I have to be too.
Yes, the Chinese are people too, and they are being oppressed by their government.
What’s your point?
