“Made in China”

Recently, a furious “China-made recalling” storm was sweeping the world. Many companies in western countries like US and Canada recalled their China-made products such as toy, food and medicine. A severe “credit crisis” is threatening this huge “world factory”. Let’s see a series of product scandals:
{Pet food - tainted with chemical melamine
Toothpaste - tainted with chemical diethylene glycol and bacteria
Farmed fish - traces of banned drugs and pesticides found
Tyres - fault may cause blow-outs
Toys - contain lead or pose choking hazard
Children's jewellery - contains lead
Ceramic heaters - pose fire safety risk} (from bbc website)

As a Chinese, I’m very shamed of the existence of these scandals. From the above incidents, I saw a country which are not responsible to others rather than an ancient civilized country with thousands of years of splendid history.
As China’s economics rise rapidly, some Chinese always compare China to a lion that was just waken up or a dragon that is speeding across the sky. Too many Chinese are blinded by a sightless patriotism. As a result, lots of acute issues are hidden behind the rapidly increased economics.
However, in my opinion, currently, China is no more than an arrogant millionaire overnight. In recent decades, China has plumped up his wallet at the expanse of low-cost labor and severely damaged environment. However, the standard of product quality and the ethos of the society are obviously not in tandem with the economic increase. For example, in China, large amount of piratical VCD or DVD are flooding into the market every day; fake medicine, drugs and toys are threatening people’s health without being noticed. “Made in China” has already been a pronoun of fake and low quality. It’s really a shame to China, which has thousands of years of gorgeous culture and history.
Now, China is at the crossroad of history. The government must take action, to save China on the verge of degeneration, to save the brand of “made in China” and develop it to “made by China”.

In my opinions, three main steps should be taken to solve this crisis: First, the government should reinforce the supervision of the product quality and establish a complete set of product supervision system. Secondly, the government should communicate with the Western government and come out with an eligible quality standard which adapts to both countries. Thirdly, enhance the ability of revolution of technologies, so as to transform the economic mode from MADE IN CHINA to MADE BY CHINA.
Above is my opinion, however, I think it’s not easy to achieve it in a short time since the situation of China is quite different from those western countries. In China, most of the consumers are peasants and workers. Therefore, if China’s food quality standard is the same as US’s, most of the Chinese consumers won’t afford it. This for sure will reduce the living level of people. Besides, due to the lack of financial income, the revolution of technologies will also be challenged. Therefore, it’s not easy for China to solve this issue.
As a Chinese, I sincerely hope that one day “Made in China” can get rid of its stains and is welcomed all over the world. I believe that day will come soon, with the efforts of all the Chinese people.
