Can you buy anything from China that is NOT fake?


Even the chinese food doesn't taste real.  It tastes nothing like the stuff we get here!

 

Same with Italy... they can't fool me... I've been to Olive Garden!

It sounds like the middle men taking a large chunk of "profit".


^this. I know some people are quick to jump on the "hate the govt" bandwagon but this is just not a reasonable scenario for that one.

Wow the US is stupid sometimes. Though I have to say I've heard the US puts safe guards in the hardware it sells other countries so that if the weapons were turned on American's they could easily destroy them. I am not suprised China would purposely put kill switches in the chips its not like the US and China are exactly the best of allies. Rather then buying chips from China maybe the US should buy them from Canada or Europe. Infact I wouldn't even trust Russia.

Or they could manufacture them in the US of A and actually create some jobs at home.
