Nimphal Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I'm not from the states and have never set foot in Wal-Mart, but one of the main reasons people are boycotting it is because they treat their employees awfully. Also, Wal-Mart itself is not of Chinese origins, but my understanding is that they sell lots of things at really low prices. These things were most likely produced in sweatshops somewhere in China. As for the technology, I'm afraid there really is no choice there. Everything is made in Chine, absolutely everything. I know there is Fair Trade mouse https://www.nager-it.de/en/maus and I own the first ever fair trade phone, Fair Phone, but that's about it. Fair Trade is in the earliest stages when it comes to electronics, partly because of the long and complicated supply chain. leverhelven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randiriel Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Stuff from China is cheap, but be careful of the quality. (Personally I get stuff from local Hong Kong shops or ship them from Korea. Try yesasia.com for a better quality control.) hehe korean stuff are really cute. But if you really want Chinese stuff, erm, maybe try Taobao.com? Individual users sell stuff up there. But I think you'll have to run it through google translate because it is in simplified Chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
