This article is regarding the recent discovery of defects of chinese goods which may be harmful to us humans. As you all know China is a developing country developing at a very fast pace. With this comes the export of chinese made goods be it food products, toys and even clothes. China is already the biggest exporter to the US and this has caused many US firms to complain against this.
But this is not the point. This article states that a boy's shirt burst into flames when he and his mum were walking down the street one day. This is indeed shocking as has anyone ever encountered such a thing where a shirt would burst into flames without even contacting fire? This shirt was made in China. Bring us back to the point, China although being a place for relatively cheap labour and production cost has one down side that is the qualities of its products. Let me give you an example, previous to this there was a case where there was a high quantity of lead found in some toys made in China from the brand mattel. This has caused fears in the many governements of the world that China products which are exported to almost every country may affect their citizens, and thus forced them to ban these chinese products. This in turn would affect China's economy and the reputation of China which is slowly developing.
To sum this up, China should give concern to the qualities of their products as if they are not able to ensure good quality in their products, many other countries would ban their products altogether and this in turn would affect China's developement.
