[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7138350, member: 54866"] Toe be fair, the Chinese are just playing the game like anyone else. If you want cheap but carp, they will do it. If you want high end gear, they can do that as well. Taiwan is a big big producer of microprocessors, arguably the most complex devices ever produced by man (they are also very reliable given the volume of them produced). They have been doing it for years and are very skilled. Fortunately the bulk of the actual innovation in these industries are done elsewhere in places like the UK and USA. I'm not sure I see the importation of cheap pork or chicken into the UK as an issue. It won't lose the UK pork or poultry farmers any consumers because the people already buying the stuff from Brazil, Thailand or Denmark or wherever are buying it because it is dirt cheap anyway and they don't buy UK product because it's more expensive. That being the case, let those same people eat all the chlorinated chicken they want, it makes no odds to me. [/QUOTE]
