So the oxygen generator I bought from Barry in Brisbane ended up being from Chin Long in Beijing, and it doesn't exist. Same with the masks from Debbie in Sydney. eBay and PayPal are sorting refunds. I hate those C*nuts more and more each day.

I wonder when all this shit is done and dusted if the west doesnt ask itself, do we really need china?
What do they provide we cant do ourselves?
Too be honest, with all this shit thats going on, its a digital pikeys wet dream, probably posting from his mams basement in some such nothern paradise town like Bradford. Big Vern who used to work the markets has got internet savvy and now peddles his shit online.

What do they provide we cant do ourselves? Cheap labour with a good work ethic. And even cheaper slave labour. Body organs for transplant from executed criminals and religious minorities. Rare earth metals. Sweet & sour pork balls.

Rare earth metals. Sweet & sour pork balls. 1, Vietnam. 2, Burma. 3, no problem with that. 4, thought that was why we were fighting a war in Afghanistan. 5, concur.

Sweet & sour pork balls. 1, Vietnam. 2, Burma. 3, no problem with that. 4, thought that was why we were fighting a war in Afghanistan. 5, concur. Vietnam wasn't really getting any cheaper and Myanmar (aka the State formerly known as Burma) will catch up. Maybe the West should get used to higher prices (and many times better quality) as the price to guaranteed delivery.. Will effect inflation, will require higher wages, will need economical model adjustment. Doable, but causes some short term pain and results as only after that. Not easy for a politician to sell to the impatient public unless they lie a bit more than usual. IMHO.
