How do you think the Chinese goods？is it  worthwhile to buy or not?What is the impression of the Chinese goods in the hearts of everyone?

[i-once-was-bump]

Too many chemicals in the clothing so they are not safe for sensitive skin.

I would like to be able to avoid all clothing, fabrics and yarns made in China.

I have had a severe rash on both arms from knitting with balls of wool from China.

Why?

Chemicals of course, nothing is safe to put on your skin.

Chinese goods is worthwhile to buy or not?

Usually....NO. Cheap and of poor quality.

Unfortunately, high quality goods, locally made, are far too rare these days. We have no choice anymore.:-(

but I personally feel that China's still worth buying daily necessities

well you would feel that way living in china.

For aussies however most of us nip down the shops for necessities

Why?

I now have contact dermatitis on my lower back which wont go away,(since buying the above),:_|

All the possible offending items have been chucked but it hasn't fixed the problem,X-(

Just another angle on this discussion...

Most of the Chinese clothes we purchase here in Australia are made of inferior materials because shops import them & pay next to nothing for them. You get what you pay for

When I visited China I was amazed that they have good quality clothing there. I was expecting rubbish but what I found over & over again was excellent cotton materials & items that were extremely well made, but they were not cheap to buy

We just do not get the good Chinese quality here. Importers pay peanuts & the Aussie shopper gets peanuts. Stuff that doesn't last & only lasts a couple of washes, if that

All the t-shirts I purchased in China for friends & family are still going strong after 2.5 years. No pilling, no tearing & still look like new. But, you won't find this quality in our shops

Just saying.....

I spend  lot of time and money sourcing quality manufacturers and products.

Ditto....except for the money bit, I don't spend high $$'s, but considering the length of time it can sometimes take for items to arrive, there can be a huge investment time-wise in vetting products / sellers. There are some things that I really wish I could talk to the sellers about because the quality can vary from one purchase to the next, but the language barrier is a problem and I also have doubts it would actually result in getting the product / batch I'm after. 

There are some things you can buy that are quite good quality, and funnily enough there are some things I will only buy from China, as well as some things that can only be bought from China, but the opposite is also true for other things. 

There is that old saying about only a rich man can afford to buy cheap stuff...
