National Bookstore pulls Chinese-made globes BY AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE POSTED ON 02/14/2013 6:11 PM | UPDATED 02/14/2013 6:55 PM ![]() --CHINESE GLOBES. The globes featured the 9-Dash line map claiming almost the whole South China Sea for Beijing. Photo courtesy of John Silva MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines' largest bookstore chain has withdrawn Chinese-made globes showing Beijing's claims to most of the South China Sea from its shelves, a government spokesman said Thursday, February 14. The globes were sold by the National Bookstore up until Wednesday, foreign office spokesman Raul Hernandez said in a statement. "The National Bookstore has withdrawn all the educational globes, which reflect China's nine-dash line encompassing the South China Sea, from its stores," Hernandez said. "It has taken a patriotic position to proactively support the Philippine government in advancing Philippine foreign policy objectives." He said the decision to pull out the globes came after a dialogue with the bookstore management, which claimed they were unaware of the "misinformation" contained in the education materials. <snipped> Edited by israeli, Feb 15 2013, 09:59 AM.

Why are we importing globes from china??? Why do we not have companies and capacity to produce something so simple yet necessary for our children? |

Sadly, that's what you usually get for getting things cheaper. You pay less, you definitely get less. I'm sure everyone has had experiences with Chinese stuff, most of them don't last. A recent experience I had was when I bought 2 spare battery kits for my Japanese e-cigarette. The Japanese batteries I currently have are working fine after a year. The 2 Chinese made ones are already dead after a month. Now, you probably will say why I bothered to buy Chinese made ones. - Well, I had no choice as the Japanese made batteries were out of stock and I couldn't wait for it. Yes, I got what I deserved. Lesson learned. |

China wants to make things more of a disposable one for faster and more return purchases rather than making a product that is so perfect like the Harley-Davidson bikes. It's business. |

So basically, Chinese made products are not environment friendly.
