Heh, I'm from New Zealand and well, yeah like most European countries, a lot of stuff is made in china. Thats why China is one of the most richest countries in the world. (Hopefully I got my facts right. I heard somewhere the the US has a big dept to China).
I don't look at the tag to see where it's made before I buy the item, I could care less if I need it or think that it's cute. But isn't it hard to NOT buy things made in China? Most things are and cheaper in the process.
The reason why so many products are made in china is because they have sweatshop labor which is much cheaper than have someone from a democratic country try and make the same things. They work pennies per hour and thus everything's made there.
