Globalisation and China

Tooth Picks to what not with made in China Tag ! It is not an exaggeration.

Remember the famous advertisement of Hutch "Wherever you go our network follows" where a cheeka (dog) follows a small boy where ever he goes. I am neither a small boy nor does the cheeka follows me. But i can see Chinese products already flooding the local markets wherever i go !

I can remember of a movie by name "Lord of War" where Nicholas Cage features as Yuri Orlov, and compares himself with Bridget Moynahan who features as a successful model. Nicholas sells arms and ammunition's to different parts of the world and sees that the model reaches all the place before him and is quiet popular already.

Looks like the topic is deviated ? No the point i am trying to make is; What if the story is rewritten by the author again; may be he will compare with Chinese products instead of Bridget !!! I started to write all this after reading a news article "Chinese cars may soon run on Indian roads". India itself is a base for making foreign cars where we already have Suzuki, Hyundai, GM, Ford factories in India. Also we have indegenous cars made by us. Now we will also have Chinese cars to compete in the market; may be the consumers will stand benefited with the stiff pricing competition posed by China.

Check this web site to find what China sells with "Made in China" brand name.

Oops we need to mention about "Made in India" tag; the movie "Lord of Wars" features a Soundtrack from the movie Bombay done by A.R.Rahman !

May be the CII - Confederation of Indian Industry or Ministry of Commerce in India should get to do some thing about this web site soon.
