The only reason I see people go to China for, is the cheaper prices. If you are going to pay more, why not just rather order from a South African supplier? I would take a guess and say that at least some of the members here have been negatively affected by Chinese imports. All of us are affected negatively on a daily basis indirectly.
I blame the South African businesses who want to make large profits off cheap quality as much as I blame the steamroller marketing and blatant disregard of intellectual property of the Chinese. We bemoan the fact that there are so few tax payers who have to carry the population but we are also to blame if we do not do our part in trying to encourage the South African manufacturing industry. Can you tell this is something I feel passionate about ?
