MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines' largest bookstore chain has withdrawn Chinese-made globes showing Beijing's claims to most of the South China Sea from its shelves, a government spokesman said Thursday, February 14.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"The National Bookstore has withdrawn all the educational globes, which reflect China's nine-dash line encompassing the South China Sea, from its stores," Hernandez said.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.

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. :armyLol:
