China



When looking at the label of any toy, electronic, or even our flag, we can see that everything is made in china. No, our flag really wasn’t made in china, here it is just an example for the telescope. Although, now a days you read the label of everything you buy, even “true American” products it says made in china, Pakistan, Malaysia etc.
So, is it truly American? If our products are being made in other countries we cant call it our own. This brings up the idea of cheap labor because that is really what it is about. American citizens demand the true American brands, but the labor workers in America are too expensive so what do companies do? They go out in to third world countries and find cheap labor. Children from 7 will be working factories, for companies like Nike, Tommy Hilfiger and other name brands we have in our stores. When I ran across this picture it actually made me think, could our flags really be made in china, because material to make it and labor workers may be cheaper there?
