Finger Points to Little Factories in China for Thievery

The war against Chinese manufacturers that knock off American dress companies and sell directly to consumers continues, as head of a current campaign to stop the onslaught confirms suspicion and probable cause of the troubles.

 

Buying products from smaller factories not only hurts American business but funds sub-human working conditions.

 

Smaller factories that fly under the radar of consumer advocate scrutiny and government regulation could be at the core of the problems. According to Lang Big factories are as concerned about the lost dollars to smaller ones.

“The counterfeiting hurts them as well.  As suspected, my research here points to small factories. There are so many small factories working here that they can produce a lot of dresses. If we do not act, the damage inflicted would increase so feel good about the efforts you have funded,” he told supporters.

Lang returns in May and plans to give a detailed report on what he saw. Meanwhile the campaign moves forward, as the legal team plans to file suit against the worst offenders.

 

An ongoing poll shows over 60% of respondents say they’d pay a bit more for American products if they existed. What do you say?

    My basic thoughts are to solving the problem is:
    1. Get pictures, prices and style #s off the designer website so China can not copy designs;
    2. Since real estate is ample and interest rates are low in the States right now, vendors should consider buying large warehouses that are currently empty or buying property and building warehouses to help put American workers back to work.
     
    Obviously the American workers will want a higher wage but isn’t that what China is starting to require now? So even if it may cost the vendor a bit more to offer a good salary they can now proudly offer a quality American made product. The product may cost more but that will mean that the bride will have to be more diligent with her finances or seek out another job if she wants the extras.
     
    Not only that but it will teach our people the basic skills of working with your hands that many have never been taught. We are all so techy, but many of us can’t hem a pair of pants.
