Benefit = cheap goods Drawbacks = unreliable, poor quality, probably made without thought for the environment and containing dangerous levels of lead or other hazardous chemicals

Cheap, nasty stuff.

Well, being a Chinese, I hope that maybe we could be a little nicer to Made in China products. You know, as a developing country, we still have a lot of troubles and problems to handle. No one can make things perfect at first. I am sure that when those developed countries were developing, they would also produce sth. not so thoughtfully for the environment. That doesn't mean they didn't want to, it was just because they hadn't realized its importance or they couldn't find a good way to solve it economically. Every coin has two sides. Chinese are also offering foreign friends some nice goods, too, like beautiful china, silk and many other things.

I have to say that not every Chinese product's quality must be bad. We need to look at problems in different aspects. China is a lager nation and has long histroy.Even nowadays, many not good things,incl. goods quailty, living cost level, citizen qualities etc exist, and can not be satisfied. However, I think, these developments need time. I believe in these things will be changed soon in the future. In the fact, we can compare with before, we have achieved many successes.

Yes, until my toy breaks. :P
