First "all lives matter" and now blaming a whole country for "many of the problems in the world today"? We are talking about football strips - I would say the bigger issue is the labour used to make them rather than when people can get their hands on them. That was a political rather than race based statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not, a lot of the problems do stem from China, but it’s not a racism issue. When all our products are more or less manufactured in one country, then that country enacts the worlds strictest Zero Covid policy. There’s obviously going to be some logistical issues that go hand in hand with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m saying that a huge number of manufacturing issues are coming from there. That’s an indisputable fact. No one is to blame. Their Covid policy is their decision.

They are responsible for many of the problems in the world today. A lot of clothing manufacturing has moved out of china over the years as its too costly. Apparel often follows the lowest labor rates around stitching costs and these are lower in SE Asia (Cambodia/Vietnam/Laos), Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia and into W. Africa now. I was once told, follow the country mark on Gap T-shirts and you will have the lowest global labor manufacturing cost center. Most manufacturers follow the modern slavery act, not because they care much about slavery, but more around ethic elements within hedge funds and other investment companies buying their stock. In case anyone was wondering .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
