Made in China

Standard

In 2011, Sher-Wood Hockey Inc. Canada’s hockey stick manufacturer move its stick production to China in order to cut its cost. Certainly, it is not an exception.Nowadays, China has become a global manufactory. Many countries move their factories into China because of its cheap labour and resources. From my view point, Chinese Government should set standards for foreign factories in order to prevent them rushing into China.

For the society, although introduction of foreign production can help Chinese Government to solve unemployment problem, using cheap labour to do mass production is a kind of exploitation for Chinese workers. Additionally, the foreign factories will grabbed off the  limited resources from domestic manufactories. They will bring more competition.

For the environment, more massive exploitation from foreign factories will make the ecological environment become worse. Moreover, factories will cause pollution including foreign factories, so introducing too many factories will cause serious environment problem.

For this reasons, Chinese Government should stop the increase of foreign factories in the domestic market. I think Government can increase charge of foreign foreign factories and select them more carefully. I also hope one day, China can not only be a maker but also be a designer.
